Dunbars resignation
may affect Daytons
Emergency service

Since 1877!

Several apply
for Police Chief position. . .

Dayton Police Chief Nick Dunbar, who organized

Daytons NIXLE emergency notification system, resigned as Dayton Police Chief on Dec. 22.
Dunbar worked a few more weeks beyond that date
as Police Chief but now is no longer employed by the
City of Dayton.
Dunbar organized NIXLE and also posted notices for
this service. It is assumed that the next chief will retain
the system, but this isnt certain.
The City of Dayton has advertised for this posiiton
and has received several applications. It will take a few
weeks for both the city and prospective applicants to
make make a decision.
During these intervening weeks the system may not
be functioning as it has been.

Webster County
emergency alerts free,
helpful for residents

Easy to register for service. . .

By David Satterlee

Are you taking advantage of Webster Countys
E-911 and Daytons NIXLE free emergency notification systems? You can receive timely notifications when
warnings, watches, and alerts are issued.

For the county, you can sign up for yourself
online from a link near the bottom of Webster Countys
Internet home page: webstercountyia.org. For additional Dayton alerts, text DAYTONIA to 888777 from the
phone on which you want to receive TXT notifications.

Webster alerts! allows you to select from 35
alerts including tornado warnings, blizzard watches, and
law enforcement events. You can choose to receive these
by voice to a phone, by text to a cell phone, and by e-mail.
You may find that timely notice is helpful from time to
time.

For instance, alerts for a winter storm watch
were issued at 6:00 and 10:30 am on January 4 with the
potential for heavy snow or significant ice accumulations.
This was followed, at 3:45 that afternoon, by a full storm
warning with a prediction of 4-7 inches of snow.

The next day, a county snow ordinance alert
came at 1:45 in the afternoon, advising that tickets would
be issued after midnight. That evening, a Fort Dodge
snow ordinance alert went out at 6:20, effective immediately, with ticketing and towing after 9 pm.

Former Dayton Police Chief Nick Dunbar said
that he usually issued Dayton alerts for some severe
weather, snow ordinance, lost pets, and law enforcement issues. The City Office also has access to broadcast
alerts on NIXLE. Last year, a NIXLE alert explained that
there would be a multiple-department drill with Daytons
Grandview Health Care Center that included police, ambulances, aircraft and search dogs.

Former officer Dunbar recalls participating in
the decision to use NIXLE. He feels that these systems
are a great way for citizens to stay informed and connected with their community while looking out for the
safety and welfare of their family and neighbors.

SWG School district tax levy election Feb. 3;

public may ask questions at forum Jan. 14
At Dayton School library. . .
By Glenn Schreiber

The Southeast Webster Grand School district will

conduct a special election for a Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
The new tax levy will combine a surtax on a person
state income tax and also the property tax levy. SWG
School Superintendent Rich Stouffers affirmed that the
next levy would probably not affect property taxes at all.
This school district has operated with an infrastructure tax levy for more than 30 years and currently the tax
levy is 52 cents per $1,000 of taxable valuation. The tax
levy on the Feb. 3 ballot would increase that tax levy to
$1 per $1,000 of taxable valuation, but the remaining 48
cents would come from a state income tax hike. Federal
income taxes would not be affected.
The current school tax levy will expire in 2016. The
new tax levy, if approved, would continue for 10 years.

According to a statement released by the school

board, your property taxes may or may not go up, as the
new $1 PPEL resolution contains language that mixes in
income surtax, not all property taxes, as does the current
PPEL.
If the measure is approved it would impose an income surtax upon the state individual commencing with
calendar year 2015 (the percent of income surtax not to
exceed 20%).
Among the 338 school districts in Iowa, 281 have
some income surtax in their levy.
Southeast Webster Grand has used tax levy funds in
the past for construction of new additions; heating system
upgrades and repairs; technology items like computers;
purchase of school buses; roof, gym floor replacement;
and more.

Design contest held

for new Southeast
Southeast Valley reveals new mascot design Valley mascot

The vote has been counted. A new mascot has been selected from fourteen submissions voted on by students in grades 4-11 from
Southeast Webster Grand and Prairie Valley. We
have an official Jaguar mascot!

This Jaguar has hidden pictures. The
head of the Jaguar contains a Warrior, an Eagle,
letters PVS and SWG. Can you find them? The
mascot was created by Mr. Bryan Bachel, Art
instructor at Prairie Valley. He used a lot of creativity and thoughtfulness.

Construction of 109 turbine wind farm

progresses north of Harcourt

Prairie Valley and Southeast WebsterGrand School Districts are hosting a contest
for any student or adult from either district who
may want to submit an original design of Jaguars.

Please submit your design to either the
Southeast Webster-Grand principals office in
Burnside or the Prairie Valley principals office
in Gowrie.

All designs need to be submitted by
Monday, April 14, 2014 at 4:00 p.m. Grades
4-11 students from both districts will be voting
on the designs Wednesday, April 16.

Please remember these designs must be
original and the school colors are black and teal
with silver accent.

Tower construction starts early June. . .

On Monday, May 19, several very large
semi trucks carrying turbine blades, generators
and tower parts began rolling into Southeast
Webster County north of Harcourt. This is the
next stage in a 109 tower wind farm .

The wind farm known as a Lundgren
Wind Project Site is being developed three
miles north of Harcourt between Highway 169
N. and County Road P61. The 72-square mile
site, when finished, will probably be considered the largest construction project in Webster
County history.

The foundation for each of the wind
towers contains 425 cubic yards of concrete
and 53,000 pounds of reinforcing steel. Each
tower consists of three parts totaling a height of
around 260 feet. On top of the tower is a generator or nacelle weighing over 180,000 pounds.

Attached to the nacelle is a rotor assembly containing three blades that measure
over 170 feet each bringing the total height of
the tower and the blades to over 430 feet. Each
tower would then be around 30 stories. With the
tallest buildings in Fort Dodge measuring 10
to 12 stories, this makes the towers the tallest
structures in Webster County.

Each tower when finished will generate
around 2.3 megawatts. That is enough to power
for over 700 homes.

The next stage in the project will be the

erection of the towers. This will begin the first

week in June with a completion date of sometime in December. After that the sites will be
cleaned up, with the land and roads restored.

The roads will be graded with new gravel added as needed. Next year farmers should be
able to start planting crops within about 20 feet
of each tower.

Construction of the wind farm started in
early November, 2013.

David Hurd, site construction manager,
had one final comment. He emphasizes that
there are heavy equipment and trucks moving
around the site. If you dont have a reason to
be there please stay away for your safety and
the safety of my crew, he affirmed.

School emergency
alerts available

Register for service. . .

By David Satterlee

Do you need to know, as soon as possible, when

there will be a school weather alert, early dismissal, late
start or closing? Most schools, including Southeast Valley schools, allow you to sign up for automatic notifications. However, the administrations of the two member
districts still use different systems. So, it is possible that
you may need to sign-up for both if you have more than
one child in school.
If your child is enrolled for High School or Farnhamville Elementary, you can sign-up to receive e-mail alerts
on the Internet at bit.ly/studentdatabase by clicking Sign
Up and creating a personal account. Once you have done
this, you can Log-In from that same page.
Anyone may sign up for Middle School or Dayton Elementary alerts by e-mail, phone or RSS. Go to
schoolalerts.iowa.gov on the Internet. If you already have
an account with Enterprise A&A (used for many Iowa
service agencies), just use it to login. Otherwise, you
should first create an account.
Of course, the schools still contact multiple TV and
radio stations that list notices for a large pool of regional
schools.
Finally, Southeast Valley also offers District news
events by e-mail. Sign yourself by going to southeastvalley.org on the Internet and, under District, click on

plans and a community who made it so successful.

In July of 2014, Steve was the recipient of the Robert D. Dixon Founders Award. The award is given by
Community Bankers of Iowa (CBI) each year to an Iowa
community banker who exemplifies commitment and devotion to their fellow bankers, their community and the
banking industry.
Steve lives in Farnhamville with his wife, Renae, has
three children; Brad (Jennifer), Brian (Jessica), Tiffany
Christensen (Cody) and eight grandchildren. Their two
sons, Brad and Brian have also gone into the family business, bringing a continuity that is becoming rare in our
industry.
Steve will not be active in day-to-day activities but
will stay on as Chairman of the Board and President of
the Holding Company. He and Renae are leaving on his
dream vacation the day after his retirement to Australia,
New Zealand and Fiji, where he plans to relax and soak in
the warm weather.

He hopes to spend more time golfing, enjoying
his second home on Lake Panorama and his grandchildren!
He feels very lucky to have a great staff and
Board of Directors and has a good feeling about retiring
and leaving the helm with a wonderful young aggressive
staff. Looking to the future, he sees great things ahead for
the Bank and assures you it is in good hands!

Historic Dayton School Board Ledgers Found

Dayton Review

John C., Principal paid $66.75 per month, did janitorial work. . .
The following historical information was provided
by Angie and Mrs. Weiland, and it comes from the old
ledgers documenting old school board meetings from
the Dayton School dating late 1800s to early 1900s.

October 21, 1873: A special meeting held by
the Board of Directors of the independent District of West
Dayton, moved and carried that we have 4 months of
school for the Winter, commencing the First of December
and to be taught by Mr. E. A. C. at the salary of $40.00 per
month.

January 12, 1874: It was seconded and carried
that the treasurer be authorized to draw $15.00 from the
Teachers Fund to pay Lars P. for lumber to build a Coal
House within the District.

June 7, 1886: Seconded and carried to appoint
Mr. Peter L. to look after the moving of the Out House
and seats from Mrs. G.'s building, to the Dayton School
House.

September 6, 1886: Seconded and carried that
John E. have the contract to haul the coal for the school at
$1.00 per ton.

September 20, 1886: Seconded and carried that
the Boys hand in their bids for the position of Janitor.
Motion carried to give the job to Frank H. for $5.00 per
month, his bid being the lowest one.

September 20, 1886: Motion seconded and carried to insure the Dayton School Building for $2500 for
the next Five years.

July 7, 1887: At a meeting of the Board of
Directors, Motion seconded and carried that John C. be
employed to teach as Principal in the Dayton Schools,
during the coming school year, at $65.00 per month. And
that the Board President be ordered to telegraph, at once,
to John C. informing him of his election.

September 5, 1887: Moved and carried that the
teachers be paid $1.75 extra per month, for doing their
own janitor work.

May 18, 1888: John C. was selected as Principal at a salary of $66.75 per month AND will be doing his
own Janitor work.

July 8, 1890: Miss F. W. was chosen Principal
at a salary of $55.00 per month. Miss V. F. was chosen
for the position of Primary teacher, and Miss C. was chosen for the Grammar Department: the former at $37.50
per month, and the latter at $35.00 per month in salary.

September 5, 1890: Seconded and carried that
the school house be closed against all gatherings, except
for religious services. Unless a permit be obtained of the
board and in case a permit is obtained, such gatherings
will be required to put the room used back in as good of
order as it was before it was used by the gathering.

October 7, 1890: The following bills were approved: Cleaning Priveys .50; Fixing Chimney Pipes .75;
Setting Window Tiles .60; Patching Window Glass .40;
Fixing Seats, Hooks, Doors and Sidewalks .75; 2 Brooms
.70; Sprinklers $3.70; Total Bills
$7.50.

March 16, 1891: Motion seconded and carried
that hereafter, any pupil who absents himself from the
Dayton Public School, shall furnish a written excuse to

the teacher, signed by the parents, and a violation of this

rule shall be dealt with.

April 7, 1891: Motion seconded and carried to
put in a culvert at side of road where coal is hauled from
the street to the school house, and to attend to the filling
of the sink hole in front of the school house with gravel.

May 13, 1892: Seconded and carried that there
be 8 months of school during the coming school year.
*Just a little look back in time. Before indoor
plumbing, or any plumbing at all. Back in the day when
they had to move an out house from the neighbors to the
school grounds.

Note they hired a janitor (one of "the Boys") in
1886 - but by 1887, they paid the teachers and the Principal an extra $1.75 per month to do their own janitorial
work. I'm assuming that "the Boys" meant they offered
the job to one of their older students and it didn't work
out.

Did they pay the female Principal $10 a month
less to be Principal, just because she was a female?

By the way, in that time period, all references
to female teachers was "Miss" - there were no "Mrs."
mentioned even once, from 1872-1919. There was also a
lot of turnover in the teaching staff (like about every two
years). Maybe that's because all the "Misses" became
"Mrs." and could therefore, no longer teach.

Cellers and caves and grape juice

I have written previously, probably several times,

about all that farm wives and others of the era of my
youth doing many things without the equipment of todays world. The appliances and tools available now were
not even imagined then. The canning process was one
most housewives on farms as well as others did if they
lived where there was ground available to plant a garden.
Hopefully the man of the house would do the heavy
tilling and that was with cruder hand operated equipment.
Once the plants were growing it might be a family project
to keep it weeded and the ground loosened by hoeing,
When the vegetables had matured a new process
began, that of harvesting (we called it picking) and preserving. The home method in those days was canning in
pint and quart (and sometimes half gallon) jars with zinc
lids sealed by rubber rings which fit the tops of the jars.
Many were cold packed. The method was to put the vegetables in jars in their raw state with the proper amount
of water and often salt. They were put in the canner or
conservo and water was brought to a simmer. The time
in the bath depended upon the vegetable. The water
level had to be maintained during the cooking. The lids
had been placed loosely on the jars for this process. Once
they had simmered long enough the jars were carefully
removed to the counter or table on which there was a
thick pad of towels. Towels were placed around the hot
jars with which to hold them and there was a tool that fit
over the lid. The lid was then tightened causing the jar
ring to make a tight seal and thus preserve the food.
The conservo was a bit different. It was a metal
cabinet, two tiered with racks and a door opening to each
tier. On the bottom was a well in which the water was
placed. Instead of the jars being in a bath they were
surrounded by constant steam. This canner had to be
watched closely and the well kept full of HOT water. It
was a bit easier to handle those jars as they may have a
bit of steam coating but didnt have to be lifted out of
very hot water.
Back in those days there were usually two areas
where all the canned vegetables, fruits, pickles and preserves were kept. There were also bins for the potatoes
which we watched carefully to remove any that might
have a bad spot that could taint others. Cabbages were
wrapped in thick layers of paper and could last quite a
while that way. Carrots too, could survive raw a little
longer in containers of sand. And then there were the big
crocks of dill pickles. There was either a cellar under the
house or a nearby cave. Because they were both several
feet below the surface they were cooler for warm months
and didnt freeze during the cold ones. It is easy to imagine the cellar, just a crude form of basement either accessible by an inside stairway (if you had a fancier house)
or an outside access with a lift up door similar to that of
the caves of the time. There were plenty of shelves in
both the cellars and caves. The cave had been dug out and

DNR stocks Trout

in Moorland Pond

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will release 1,500 ten to twelve inch rainbow trout in the Webster County Conservation Boards Moorland Pond on
Saturday, January 24 at noon.
This is the second of two planned stockings for
Moorland Pond located on the southwest edge of Fort
Dodge. A total of 3,000 half-pound trout will be stocked
this fall and winter, providing a popular fishery within an
urban setting.
This is a good opportunity for taking kids or novice
anglers fishing as trout tend to bite readily after they are
stocked.
The Webster County Conservation Staff will host
an ice fishing clinic at 1:00 p.m. for those interested in
learning to ice fish. Topics include: ice safety, ice fishing
basics, and equipment. If you are interested in attending
the clinic, please meet in the Moorland Pond Parking lot
at 1:00 p.m.
Iowa residents and nonresidents who are required to
have a fishing license must pay the Trout Fee to fish for
or possess trout.
Exception: Iowa residents and nonresidents under
16 years old may possess or fish for trout without having
paid the Trout Fee if they fish with a properly licensed
adult who has paid the Trout Fee and together they limit their catch to the one person daily limit of five trout.
Children under 16 have the option to purchase their own
trout privilege, which allows them to fish without a properly licensed adult and keep their own daily limit (5).
For more questions regarding this stocking or fishing
regulations please contact the Black Hawk Fish Management Office at (712) 657-2638.

usually brick lined. The cave extended upward and had a

dome shape on the outside with an opening covered by a
slanted lift up door to the few steps going down.
On the Boone County farm there was a cellar with
stairs accessible off the pantry and another from the trap
door on the back porch. At my aunts place there was a
cellar under the house but only an outside access with
the slanted door. In the winter, to avoid too many trips,
she would use her market basket to bring up a number of
items she would be using in the next few days. When she
and my uncle bought a house in town there was a cave
near the back door. In later years, however, she felt that
not only was the door deteriorating and dangerous should
a neighborhood child happen to want to play on or in it,
the cave itself was no longer stable. Rather than have it
replaced, the cave, it was decided, had served its time as a
safe storage for anything. It was leveled and sodded over
and you wouldnt know a cave had ever occupied that
area. The cave hadnt been used in years and my aunt
and uncle had modernrized the house by raising and
installing a real basement and adding a new back entryway and bathroom and updating the kitchen with built in
cupboards with a sink and hot and cold running water and
an auxiliary shower in the basement.
The first place I lived, born there but not remembered as my home, had a cave. In later years after we
moved to Boxholm my dads brother and family lived
there.The cave was still there but had been repaired and
an actual entry with a privy like structure with a real door
placed for access to the stairs. My aunt, as all good farmwives, did lots of canning. One year the grapevines had
yielded so well she got tired of making jelly so decided
to make a number of quarts of juice. We were visiting
during the following winter months and my aunt asked
my mom to test the grape juice. It appeared to be quite
well sealed, she said, but it tastedfunny:. Was she going
to have to toss it all? She poured bit in a glass and it was
clear and beautiful. Mom took a very small sip, her nosed
wrinkled and her head shook. She then said, Merle,
youve got some real good wine here! I never did find
out what happened to all that grape juice. The Downs
were just not imbibers.

Registration for the conference and exhibits is free, but

Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and

and other renewable fuels should play in a comprehensive U.S. energy policy.

Iowa is the nations leader in renewable fuels production. Iowa has 43 ethanol refineries capable of producing more than 3.8 billion gallons annually, including
22 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol.
The IRFA trade group was formed in 2002 to represent the states liquid renewable fuels industry. It seeks to

fuels industry in Iowa.

Webster County
Supervisors approve
manure plan update

Boards January 6 meeting includes confinement

feeding structure permit resolution
On January 6, the Webster County Board of Supervisors
accepted the resignation of Margaret Woodruff, LPN.
They also accepted a Manure Management Plan Update
for D. Craig Gascho and the Sheriffs Report of Fees Collected.
The board adopted a Construction Evaluation Resolution dealing with construction of confinement feeding
operation structures. Under Iowa Code, passing this resolution allows the county to submit an adopted recommendation to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to
approve or disapprove a construction permit application.
It also allows the county to contest a DNR decision on a
specific application.
Adopting this resolution also requires the Board
of Supervisors to evaluate and submit an adopted recommendation for every confinement feeding operation
structure construction permit application. Evaluations
must use the master matrix created by Iowa Code section
459.305 but may include recommendations based on additional reasons.

Dayton Review

Senior Series...

Fran Popp, Dayton beauty salon owner,

for 23 years, was raised on a farm

Helped husband Duane with

Chirstmas lighting at Oak Park...
By: Nicole Presley

Born in Nebraska and raised in Peterson, Iowa, Fran

Popp, Dayton, has lived on a farm for much of her life.
Fran and her siblings, Emma and Franklin, did
chores on the farm while their father did the bigger chores
necessary to take care of the farm.
We had chicken chores, we had sheep, played with
dogs, cats, said Fran. We had sheep and cattle and then
dad did farming.
Fran attended Sioux Valley High School in the Peterson and Linn Grove area of Iowa. Fran and her high
school class were the first to attend Sioux Valley High
School when Linn Grove and Peterson school districts
merged. She graduated in 1964.
After high school Fran graduated from beauty school
in Spencer, Iowa in 1965. One thing that sticks out in
Frans mind when she thinks of beauty school is the snow.
I remember one day we went to school with snow
up to our knees and got there and they sent us back
home, said Fran. Of course if youve ever been in
Spencer youd understand that...You get snow up there.
Believe me.
After beauty school Fran married her husband,
Duane, a year later in 1966.
Fran worked various jobs at hair salons in Fort Dodge
and moved to Dayton, where she owned a beauty salon
called Dayton Beauty Salon in 1984. The beauty salon
has not been in business since Frans retirement in 2007.
Fran also had a farm with her husband where they
raised hogs for 14 years.
We had this one hog that used to follow us from
building to building and all we had to do was call her
name and shed follow us wherever we went, said Fran.
We had this same sow that would get out when we
let her out and she would come along and nip at your
pants. She just wanted to be petted.
Frans children also rode the hogs when they were
younger.

Shawn , Cheryl and Duane

Fran and her late husband were known in Dayton for

erecting Christmas lights in Oak Park and driving their
1970 Plymouth Fury 3 convertible in the Labor Day parade.
Since Duanes passing one year ago Fran has not
been able to decorate Oak Park with Christmas lights.
Duane and Fran had stopped driving their Plymouth Fury
3 in the Labor Day parade about three years ago.

capabilities. Friendship Haven is offering this event to
focus on skills to keep the keys.
For additional information call Denise Wiederin at
515-573-6250 or denisew@friendshiphaven.org. Aging
Gracefully is a free quarterly educational program open
to the public, addressing issues specific to the senior population and their families.

God is in control

The poor and the helpless have fled to you and
have been safe in time of trouble. You give them shelter
from storms and shade from the burning heat. Cruel
men attack like a winter storm. Isaiah 25:4

With gasoline prices hovering around $4.00 a gallon, foreclosures on homes reaching drastic levels, and the
price of necessities such as food and electricity increasing,
many families are struggling to survive. They are struggling
to keep food on the table, and a roof over their heads.

Some families are at the breaking point - where
they are waiting for the final notice on their home. Some
of these people are asking - how can a loving God let this
happen?

Thinking back about Jesus disciples - at one moment everything seemed to be smooth sailing, they were enjoying the popularity that went with Jesus, and then, all of a
sudden, they were fearful for their lives.
And like Job, lives seemed to be shattered at an
instant, without any warning or reason. All at once, everything that could go wrong, did. Like Job, many have faced
disease, and without health insurance the bills have all but
buried them. And like Job, these people wonder what Gods
plan for them is.

Did you know that Job was never told why he suffered? The reason he suffered was to silence the devil...and
the reason you may be suffering now is not because of your
sins, not because of your failures, but to silence the devil.
We need to prove to the devil that we love God not for what
He has given us, but for who He is.

Despite all the suffering Job went through, God
protected him, telling Satan that he could not take Jobs life
(Job 1:12), just like God protects all of His children (Psalm
3:3). God is a protector of His children, just like He protected the Hebrews from Pharoah, fed them manna, and led
them to the promised land.

Like Christs disciples or Job, we may not understand why these hardships come, and why our faith is
shaken. We may never know what is going on in the great
scheme of life, but we know that God is in control, and that
He has great plans for us. He will reward us for our faith
and our suffering with blessings greater than we expect or
can even imagine...for our God is a strength to the poor and
needy.

The holidays in my family used to be full of

laughter, card games, food and traveling.

When we lived in Missouri, we would travel to
Iowa for Christmas when my folks could afford it and
once we were here I didnt want to go back home.

On my moms side, before my aunt in the army
retired she would fly in from Hawaii, one great uncle
would come from Minnesota and sometimes the other
great uncle would come from Montana. Pretty much everyone else was already in Gowrie, or Webster City.

Before my generation started having kids, there
would be around 20 of us gathered around the table, minus the three (including me) at the kiddie table in the
kitchen. I couldnt wait for the year that I was allowed to
sit with the adults.

Once the meal was done, the women gathered in
the kitchen to clean up. Us kids played upstairs or played
card games. Grandpa would have the television blaring,
almost drowning us out in the dining room. Once the
dished were done and the leftovers tucked away for later,
we all gathered in the living room to open presents.

The best part of the holiday was playing cards.
My uncle Glen won most of the time. We played Hearts,
Russian Rummy, Peanuts (and cards flew thru the air often), War, a poker game I cant remember the name of,
and a few others. We would laugh so hard wed cry half
the time when cards would fly and we had a blast.

I loved spending Christmas up here because we
had a lot of family to visit. We would go to Webster City
to see my dads side of the family and that was as much
fun and just as crowded as Gowrie because we all gathered at my aunts home. There was 18 to 20 of us.

Christmas in Missouri was interesting and my
folks had a few headaches over the years. We had a couple of cats that liked the tree and more than once, our Old
English Sheep dog, Cleo destroyed the tree and almost
everything on it. It was heartbreaking one morning, she
had destroyed all the wooden ornaments my folks had in
Germany. They were handmade wooden ornaments with
mice and other creatures in different scenes. The part, her

destroying the tree I will never understand. It had to have

been the puppy in her needing to chew on things.

My parents worked hard for everything we had
and my dad worked two or three jobs at once to make
ends meet. They wanted me to have a good Christmas
every year and they did. I look back on the gifts they gave
me over the years as a kid and I was lucky. I just hope my
kids understand someday how I struggle to provide for
them the lifestyle my parents struggled to provide for me.
It seems we always want for our kids the things we never
had, to be more fortunate.

As I grew up and my grandparents died, the holidays changed. We had one more Christmas in Gowrie at
Grandma and Grandpa Carrolls, and then my moms side
started having Christmas in Webster City at the Community Center. It was fun for a while but didnt last. Christmas ended up being my least favorite holiday of the year
and still is. If I didnt have kids I wouldnt celebrate. Its
Jesus birthday, not theirs, and yes I have succomb to society in wanting my kids to have a good Christmas, but I
still remind them its not about them.

This Christmas, 2014 was special. It was perhaps the best Christmas I have had in years. My youngest
son was baptized during the Christmas Eve service, and
was baby Jesus. It was an evening I will never forget.
And my kids were happy, they got pretty much everything they wanted this year, which was a miracle. I hope
to start new traditions with my kids and hope they have
better memories, or more memories than I do.

seed, Syngenta continued to sell its seed to U.S.
corn farmers. When China banned U.S. corn imports,
the price of corn fell dramatically, and corn farmers
across the country lost BILLIONS of dollars.

Dayton Review

Jags finish 2-3 at

St. Edmond Duals
Jan. 10...

By Mr. Miller

The Jags got back to the mat Saturday at the St. Edmond duals after a long layoff and a cold and snowy start
to 2015. In a reoccurring theme, the Jags wrestled hard
but came up short in a few duals, finishing in fourth place,
finishing with a 2-3 record for the day. On the other hand,
the Jags notched their first two dual meet wins of the
season, defeating St. Ed's 45-34 in their second dual of
the day, following up with a convincing 54-23 win over
Clarke, Osceola. In the opening dual, the Jags lost a close
contest, 45-33 to Britt, West Hancock; in the fourth dual
of the day, the Jags lost to AG-WSR, 48-23 and in the
fifth and final dual eventual champ Roland-Story escaped
with a 39-36 victory.
"If you look at our individual stats, we had a pretty good day. Spencer and Caleb both went 5-0 for the
day while Coltan Klingson, Kaelan Lundberg, and Tony
Crampton went 4-1. We almost have to be perfect when
we are wrestling our duals because of our weights we
forfeit. We opened strong against West Hancock winning
our first six matches but had a hiccup at 170 when Riley
was dominating a good kid when in the third period he
got caught in a headlock changing the complexion of the
dual. We won six matches head to head compared to there
three and still lost the dual. In our final dual against Roland Story, the kids wrestled really tough, winning seven
head to head matches and lost only two matches. We have
to continue working on our conditioning as we head into
next week's conference tournament at Graettinger."
Spencer Johnson(113) and Caleb Hemmestad(145)
