There will be town meeting in Dayton on Thursday,

Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. at the Dayton Community Center concerning a proposed meat locker in downtown Dayton adjacent to Dayton Community Grocery.
It is important to note that if Mr. Randy Andrews (the
person seeking to start a meat locker) is seeking a Small
Business Loan (SBA loan), there is extensive paperwork
and requirements involved with that process.
There are strict government regulations on having a
meat locker, and there are strict guidelines involved in the
SBA loan process.

approval of the new.

SWG Elementary PBIS Frozen Celebration

By Mr. Grandfield
On February 6, the SWG Elementary K-4 held its

third Schoolwide PBIS Celebration, this time following a
Frozen theme. Each grade enjoyed an ice cream treat,
pin the nose on Olaf, knock down the Olaf cups game,
and throw the snowballs through Olaf game. While they
were rotating from station to station, the students were
entertained with the music soundtrack and decorations
from the movie Frozen.
PBIS Schoolwide Celebrations take place when the
K-4 student body reaches the goal of Paw Prints on the
lunchroom walls. The first schoolwide goal at the beginning of the year was 100 Paw Prints (paw prints for Jaguars). By early September, the kids had met the goal and
Maddie VanSickle, left, Madi Grossnickle, right and

Gavin Weier, background all in 4th grade enjoyed treats at
the Frozen party.
we had a Luau theme for our first celebration.

The next goal was then bumped to 400 total Paw
Prints. On the last day before Thanksgiving Break, the
kids had met their goal once again. To celebrate that day,
we had followed A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving theme.
The whole K-4 assembled in the gymnasium and we
popped popcorn for everyone to eat, while we watched
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on the big screen in the
gym.
Our goal for this third go-round was 900 total Paw
Prints. By February 6, we had met that goal and rewarded the kids with their third schoolwide celebration of the
year. Our next goal for the year is 1,500 total Paw Prints.
We are currently at 972 Paw Prints and well on our way
to our next goal.
The Path to the Paws starts with tokens. When students are seen following the expectations of the Jaguar
Journey, performing random acts of kindness, being exceptionally responsible, demonstrating outstanding character, etc. - they receive a token from the school staff
member who witnessed the act. When the students collect 10 tokens, they take them to the office and cash them
in for a Paw Print plus their choice from the PBIS Prize
Basket (lunch with a friend, no shoes day, wear a hat day,
show your work to the Principal, etc.).
Once a class collects a total of 25 Paw Prints, they
get to have a Classroom Celebration (pajama day, movie
day, silly socks day, popcorn party day, technology day,
etc.). Then they put their 25 Paw Prints up on the Lunchroom wall. From there, the entire K-4 works toward the
latest Paw Print Goal, and the rest is history.
At the rate we have been going, we are thinking that
we should reach our current goal of 1,500 Paw Prints
somewhere around Easter Break hopefully so we can
have our next PBIS Schoolwide Celebration on or before
March 27. If you enter our lunchroom you will notice
that the Paw Prints have wrapped completely around the
room once and are well on their way to wrapping around
a second time.

Gowrie citizens voice concerns about

traffic cameras installed in community
Will this give Gowrie a black eye?. . .

By Jill Viles
Approximately 25 concerned citizens attended

the February 16th Gowrie City Council meeting to voice
their opinion regarding the installation of a photo enforced speeding camera in the Gowrie city limits. De Etta
Jacobs of Optotraffic was present at the meeting and offered information regarding the proposal. In general, the
mood was mixed among the crowd and the council, as it
appears many still have questions regarding this technology and its practicality for Gowrie.
This is just a tool for your community to enforce your law, explained Jacobs. This is not a Big
Brother. The system doesnt take your picture if you
dont break the law.

De Etta Jacobs continued to try to ease fears regarding the new technology by explaining there is no set
number of tickets that must be issued, as well as no maintenance of the system by the city.
Additionally, if the camera is to be moved, this
is the responsibility of Optotraffic. She concluded her
introduction by stating the contract can be ended at any
time by the city of Gowrie without financial penalty.

Brian Wiklander was the first to raise concerns
on behalf of the community. He questioned how often
the system would be checked for accuracy. Jacobs explained the camera performs a self check once a day.
Wiklander went on to question if the chief of the Gowrie
Police Department would be required to test the system
daily as well, and Jacobs insisted this could be dictated in
the contract.
Dave Tjepkes, a retired member of the state
highway patrol, also raised concerns regarding due process. A lot of people do not understand the difference
between civil and criminal penalties, explained Tjepkes.

In a criminal case, there is a presumption of innocence until one is proven guilty. This raised additional
questions from Tjepkes such as: Who is the prosecutor?
What is the validity of the laser reading? In response,
Jacobs explained these are issues the city council must
decide how to mitigate.
In response to concerns about due process,
councilperson Jeff Peterson explained some of the merits
of a civil penalty as opposed to a criminal penalty. As
a parent of adult children who sometimes drive my car, I
like the idea of being notified that my child is [or children
are] speeding. In this type of situation, points are not assigned against their driving record, and this wont raise
insurance rates. Additionally, you dont have to fork over
$350 to hire an attorney to reduce a criminal penalty to a
civil penalty.
However, many residents voiced concerns that
others will not see this as a positive situation, especially those from surrounding communities. Chad Loeske
voiced the concerns of many in attendance. Im concerned this is going to give Gowrie a black eye, he suggested.

So, you dont want outsiders to obey your traffic laws, Jacob abruptly responded.

I think our businesses are most important to our
town, countered Loeske. We dont want to lose business because people dont want to drive through Gowrie.

Its not like people are speeding to get to Jamboree, offered a citizen in attendance.
Youd be surprised, said Jeff Peterson, and
this drew a chuckle from the crowd.

Tjepkes refocused the discussion with the question, What is the basis to do this? This initiative must be
validated by evidence such as a high number of accidents
at a particular intersection.
Police Chief Mc Cormack explained that fortunately, Gowrie does not have a lot of accidentsonly five
were reported last year, and this year, there has been only
one. However, the department has received numerous
complaint calls regarding speeding around the school.

He said Market, Lincoln, and Walnut Streets are
cited most frequently. Additionally a school bus driver
raised concerns regarding speeding and failure of drivers
to obey stop signs, not just the ones on the bus.

Additionally, speeding on 4th street is a concern
for bus drivers, as well.
Councilperson, Joe Harrison offered his concerns regarding the school. I have an issue with safety,
he explained. The school is a mess when the high school
lets out, and this is dangerous for the younger kids arriving on buses. We need to see Bruce [Police Chief Mc
Cormack] more visible at peak traffic times around the
school.

Chad Loeske agrees. If you have Bruce [Police
Chief Mc Cormack] issue more tickets around the school,
word will get around.

Personally, this [traffic cameras] is not my favorite choice, said Mayor Dave Stokesbary. Id like to
see more stop signs.

Participants in the crowd suggested they wanted
to know how particular council members felt about the
cameras. Most suggested they were on the fence.

I dont like the monetary aspect of it, offered
Jeff Peterson. As far as Im concerned, revenue from
this should just be deposited in the bank.

Webster County Sherrif, Jim Stubbs, urged caution with regard to the financial aspects of the program.
Ultimately this is going to cost you [the city]. If you
look at this as revenue generating, you are living in a
cave.
Stubbs also raised concerns that those passing
through Gowrie may feel targeted. After a while, youre
not going to catch a local, he suggested. Word will
get around, and it will appear that you are targeting those
passing through your community.

Additional concerns were raised by the public as
to how this was going to be a revenue generating operation for Optotraffic, and whether they would pull out of
the city due to lack of revenue.

According to Jacobs, they have a contract with a
small town in Ohio that averages only one ticket per day.
She says Optotraffic has maintained a working relationship with this community in spite of low revenue because
they are first and foremost about public safety. Jacobs
explained that Opotraffic focuses on small to medium
sized cities unlike most of the other photo enforced traffic
companies that focus on large cities. She did explain that
much of their business comes from Ohio and Maryland,
and they do not currently have any contracts in Iowa yet.

The real first immigrant settlers

I found out something I had suspected Mr. Google
doesnt always give us the absolute, undeniable facts.
When I was writing From Indian Trail to ??? I found
myself wondering if the information I had gleaned was
factual. Well, it was and it wasnt. I was therefore delighted to get a letter I had hoped for and expected. It
was from Boxholms historian, David Peterson. I had
questioned those very early settlers to Grant Township
as I had always been under the impression that it was
Swedish immigrants who first settled the particular area
and that many of their descendants are still in residence
somewhere close by. It was good to get this confirmed by
David but lets let him tell the true story -- --Matthias White and Solomon Tomlinson
were not the first settlers in Grant Township.
`` Those two men settled in sections 10 & 15 in
l847 in Pilot Mound Township, next to the Des Moines
River, about 8 miles east of the future town of Boxholm.
The town of Pilot Mound was established and had a Post
Office decades before anyone had ever heard of Boxholm.
It was 1867 before anyone settled in Grant
Township (the area around Boxholm), and they were just
considered an extension of the Dayton community. Part
of the confusion may be because all of present day Grant
Township was originally a part of Pilot Mound Township
until 1871; but there were no settlers in what is now Grant
Township until l867.

A.P. Sniggs was the first settler in Grant Township, but he didnt stick around long. Rock Hanson (my
dads grandfather) was the first permanent settler here.
This was about 2-1/2 miles north of present day Boxholm.
I actually gave a sigh of relief to have this correct information. I can still imagine the topography as
I described. I think it was very brave of those Swedish people to see the potential around the area and being
hardy enough and determined to get the land cleared and

producing as it has over the years. I can still imagine that

little knoll being settled upon as a good place to plant
a town. I have mentioned before that I have three home
towns, Boxholm is the second home town where I spent
my growing up years and where I absorbed family and
community values that have remained with me. I like
living in Des Moines but I will not forget Boxholm, the
Swedish heritage which even though I am not sure of my
own, having family ties to U.S. going back several hundred years, I have carried with me. I never cared for lutefisk but through my church affiliations I meet or have met
Swedes and Norwegians who still wish they could find
the old Scandinavian Smorgasbords featuring that smelly
concoction.

So to the descendants of those early immigrant
settlers and the new people who have come to the area,
please treasure what you have. Small towns have a camaraderie you can find no place else.

Thanks again David!

Dayton Review
Senior Series...
Marilyn Anderson lead singer at Dayton Rodeo for 38 years

Marilyn lost her arm in a farming accident...
By: Nicole Presley
Farming is something Marilyn Anderson is all

too familiar with. As a child she helped her father on the
farm in Pilot Mound and as a wife and mother she and her
children helped her husband Leonard on his family farm.
Born on March 30, 1941 Marilyn was born to
Ivar and Gladys Johnson, who had emigrated from Sweden.

At 11 years old Marilyn was driving a tractor for
bailors. During breaks Marilyn helped her mother prepare
food for the bailers.
I learned to cook early. The male balers came
in, ate, and mother had it ready. They rested under the tree,
I did the dishes and then we went out and baled again,
said Marilyn.
She was involved in 4-H and had many chores,
including tending to the chicken flock.
After graduating from Grand Community High
School in Boxholm Marilyn attended Iowa State University for a short period.
Two years later Marilyn married her husband,
Leonard, and moved to his farm in Dayton.
My uncle always teased me. I went to Iowa
State and got my M.R.S. That was after two years. I married Leonard in 1961 and we lived here, said Marilyn.
Besides helping her husband work on the farm
Marilyn is also a consultant for Mary Kay make up products.
Maryilyn enjoys singing and played the piano
and organ. She has sang at weddings and about two funerals every month since she was 13 years old. She has also
sang at the Dayton Rodeo for 38 years.

Another of her hobbies included sewing. Marilyn cant sew since the loss of her arm during the farm crisis in the 1980s. The last thing she had sewn was a rodeo
outfit for her daughter Alayna for the 50th anniversary of
the Dayton Rodeo.

It was the first time sequins had ever been used.
Obituaries
So I sewed it for the 50th anniversary of the rodeo. I remember when I bought that material, because we were in
the farm crisis at that time, said Marilyn.

I had it laid out all over the living room floor
and I really prayed for that because that material was
$50 a yard. I made it so it was like chaps on a gaberdine
pair of pants so she wouldnt have to ride on them...I still
have the outfit.

The loss of her arm happened while doing routine farm work one evening. It was about 10:30 p.m. and
Marilyn had been working through the night and was unloading a grain truck.
After unloading the grain from the truck Marilyn started to scape the remaining crop with a hoe. When
she had finished scraping the grain truck she leaned her
hoe against the gear box for the auger.
Ealier she hadnt checked the shield that her
husband had forgotten to put back on.
I leaned the hoe against this thing and I felt a
tug, just a little tug and I said, My God help me. I dont
remember a thing until I came back with just my arm up
here (Just underneath the elbow). It was twisted off, it
was a natural turnicate, because it just twisted off and I
had just one big bone that was a splinter, said Marilyn.

I dont know how long that took me, but really
I must have had super human strength. Maybe what saved
me was the jacket because it was nylon and it might have
made the turnicate so tight that it just seared off all the
blood vessels.

They never gave me a transfusion. I pulled myself out of that and I remember walking into the auger
and going around so somebody could shut the tractor off.
I got into the truck...put the truck down with the gear box
with my feet and drove probably a mile to L. T. Holbert
and got help.

Once she was in the hospital a plastic surgeon
treated her arm just below the elbow.
The next day they had planned on taking away
a little more of her arm so it would end just above the
elbow.

Before this second operation her daugher, Alayna, called their foot reflexologist who came in at night to
help relax tendons and muscle in Marilyns arm. Since
Marilyn worked with the foot reflexologist they didnt
perform the surgery to take her arm just above the el-

bow.

Later doctors suggested she have another surgery to accommodate a mechanical arm, but she refused..
She was accustomed to having half of her arm and said
the mechanical arm would make her feel clumsy.
Marilyn doesnt think of herself as handicapped,. She challenges herself to do new things.
I do have a problem when I do things. I have
to think about how to do them. Sometimes I like to say,
Can you do it? to see if I can do it or not. So Im pretty
self sufficient, said Marilyn.

After losing her arm Marilyn went back to Iowa
State to finish her degree in family and consumer sciences. She substitute teaches at various schools.
I can always
keep kids in school, if I
have some time. Theyll
say, Whats wrong with
your arm? Whats wrong
with your arm? I can always keep them 45 minutes telling this story. I like
to draw it out, said Marilyn.
She has also given safety talks about losing
Fort Dodges Oldest Established Hearing Aid Center
her arm and has continued
to work on the farm.
Marilyn
wrote
for the Dayton Review on
topics relating to religion
and politics.
Ive always enjoyed doing that. I felt myself as an educator instead
of a fluff writer. I liked
to tell people what things
were behind the headlines
At Berry Hearing Aid & Audiology Centers, we believe that our job isnt finished
that they were seeing,
until our patients lives are improved. Our staff of professionals have many years

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
City of
From Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World. . .
The three month window to reserve a state park

campsite for a Friday arrival on Memorial Day weekend
opened Sunday, Feb. 22. But more than a few campers
have their sites already reserved arriving on the weekend
before Memorial Day and staying through the holiday.
Campers can make reservations for sites three
months ahead of their first night stay, said Todd Coffelt,
chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State
Parks Bureau, and we had a flurry of reservations when
campers began getting their sites for a two-week stay that
includes the Memorial Day weekend.
Most parks will have nonelectric sites available for
the Memorial Day Weekend. Not every campsite is available on the reservation system. Parks maintain between
25 and 50 percent of the electric and nonelectric sites as
non-reservation sites, available for walk up camping.

Dayton Review
Hope - the winning side
Are we a people with hope in our lives? I trust we

are. We should never give up hope for our children. We
should never give up hope for ourselves and we should
never give up hope for this broken, bruised and bungling
world. Never, ever give up hope, because if we let hope
die, we will die with it. As long as we keep hope alive,
hope will keep us alive.
Our spirits are made for hoping. Our spirits cannot
live without hope anymore than our lungs can breathe
without air. Hope is the work of the human heart the way
thinking is the work of the human brain.
Hope energizes us, fear paralyzes us. Hope empowers us, fear weakens us. Hope lifts us up, fear drags us
down. The question of everybodys life is: will we live
by hope or will we live by fear?
Hope is personal power to strive for the good things
we want. Every good thing that any man or woman has
ever accomplished was begun by the power of hope. No
writer ever put words on a paper without the hope that
something worthwhile would be read. No business person has ever launched a new business without the hope of
being a success.
Hope is the fuel that powers us. But there should
be a warning label on every package of hope. Caution:
Hope can break your heart. We all have instances of high
hopes in our lives that have crashed on the painful rocks
of reality.
At an AIDS clinic in Los Angeles, a young man came
in for his weekly treatment, but this time he faced a new
doctor, who, without so much as looking at him, said casually, you know, dont you, that you wont live out the
year? The young man went out weeping and stopped at
a friends house on the way home he said that doctor
took away my hope!
When one hope dies, do we have another? Do we
have a hope that survives the heart break of lost hope?
When God gets into our hoping, hope goes beyond a faith
that good things are possible. God has promised good
things for us to hope for. Hope moves beyond a belief
that good things are possible. Hope becomes a trust that
good things are promised.
What did God promise? He promised that when we

are losing control, He will be there to hold us up. I will

be there with you. This is the promise of God. This is
the hope that lives when other hopes die.
When God in in our hopes, we have hope for a
world where little children can play in safety; hope for a
world where no mother ever has to watch her baby starve;
hope for a world where no adult ever abuses a child and
a hope for a world where all Gods children, of all races,
join hands and praise the Lord.
Until next week...when we are with God and
with our hopes, we are on the winning side. Love is going to win. Life is going to win. God is going to win.

Prairie Valley School Board debates

reasons for tax levy defeat Feb. 3
Dayton Review
New tax levy vote set April 7. . .
By Jill Viles
The Prairie Valley School Board met the evening of

Thursday February 19th at 6:30 P.M. in the high school
library. Typically the monthly school board meeting is
held on the third Wednesday of each month, but due to
Ash Wednesday services, the date was rescheduled.
The school board opened with a warm welcome for
those in attendance and expressed an open invitation for
members of the public to come and learn more about
happenings in the district.
The meeting commenced with a discussion of pending bills and a review of financial reports.
Board Secretary, Lisa Willardson, expressed interest
in a closer examination of the utility bills in particular.
She stated that the high school utility bill involves three
different providers of utility servicing, and it would be
helpful to break down costs to see if there are areas to
investigate for lower utility bills.
The board also suggested it would be helpful to receive reports at least a week in advance of scheduled
meetings so they have more time to review the material.
The resignation of bus driver, John Lomicka, was
accepted. Lomicka has announced his retirement from
the district. The board wishes to express their deep gratitude for many years of dependable service.
It was announced the board plans to receive presentations from various extracurricular activities at each
meeting; however, they were left speechless as the
SVHS Large Speech Group did not appear. Apparently,
members of the group were attending the State Wrestling
Tournament.
It is not clear if they will present at the next meeting
or if another group will be assigned.
Following this, potential options for laptop upgrades
for staff were considered. The cost of replacement units
for 70 staff members is $47,265. It was noted that all
the laptops could be ordered now, but payment must be
received at this time. Alternatively, half could be ordered
now, and half after July 1st. Superintendent, Lois Irwin,
suggested the district wait until a second proposed vote
of the PPEL.
In response, the board posed several questions including whether the current laptop technology is current
or obsolete. According to technology director, Vicki
Johnson, many teachers are having lots of issues. In
addition to out of date software, teachers have reported
fans and batteries going out, as well as power cord difficulties.
School board vice-president, Gary Welter, questioned if a yearly stipend could suffice to both maintain a
T,laptop and/or be saved for current upgrade needs. Welter
states that his employer has used this type of program
with success.
Board member, Heidi Mc Guire, agrees. You know
if it [the laptop] is yours, youre going to take better care
of it. However, Johnson shared several concerns regarding this type of arrangement. The problem with
everyone buying their own is that youd have to make
sure everyone is current with antivirus programs, she
Lexplained.
Additionally, if everyone picks out their own comEputer, we have to make sure they can all join a particular
pdomain. A second option proposed by the board inlvolves purchasing new laptops on a rotational basis so
s
the district doesnt have to absorb such a large purchase
all at once.
This is exactly why we needed to pass the PPEL,
p
emphasized board president, Shannon Miller, in response
to the discussion. We need to secure sufficient funding
to make these decisions. At this point, Miller proposed
,tabling the discussion until a future date.
Two motions carried readily. The board voted to
continue the existing 28E with regard to the use of Gowries baseball diamond for the purpose of Little League.
Additionally, the Good Conduct Policy was approved
with the change in wording from semester to trimester.
Tax levy defeat
debated by board
A spirited discussion of the recent PPEL vote followed. It was noted that the property tax levy passed two
to one in Farnhamville, but was defeated two to one in
Callender. In Gowrie, the vote was just shy of approval.
This is a loss based on complacency, insisted superintendent, Lois Irwin. I tried to carry this all on my
own, and that doesnt work. I should have organized
community committees.
A board member expressed shock that the measure
was defeated. I never heard a negative word. I was
shocked, he insisted.
However, other members of the board presented different points of view. They described contrary opinions
regarding the purpose of the tax levy. It was explained
that some members of the voting public believed the

funds would go toward the building of a new softball/
baseball field, while others believed the funds would be
used to rebuild the high school itself.
Superintendent, Lois Irwin, suggested it seemed
incredulous that voters would mistakenly believe an increase in $300,000 per year for the PPEL would be sufficient to build an entire high school building.
She insisted that, in retrospect, she needed to organize meetings in Gowrie and surrounding communities to
explain where funds would be directed.
People are mad that we put in new bleachers, explained vice president, Gary Welter. They said thats
just throwing money away.
However, Willardson pointed out, Its impractical to
hold sporting events in the elementary gymnasium.
Board member, Joe Harrison, raised another point
to consider when considering a second PPEL vote. My
generation likes to see something in print, he explained.
We should mail a pamphlet to everyone in the district. I
talked to people who didnt even know there was a vote.
Willardson concurred. When people call in on the
phone to ask me questions, they really want to know
we need X amount of moneyand we need it for this.
Basically, we need to focus on the things you cant argue
with: safety and transportation.
If we want to keep schools in our district, we need
to pay to keep them up, concluded Shannon Miller.
At this point, discussion was tabled, but it was approved to bring the PPEL up for a vote on April 7th, 2015.

Jaguars wrestle in
State Tournament
Great effort...
The Jaguars State Tournament run ended a bit too

soon for Seniors Spencer Johnson and Caleb Hemmestad
during Thursdays opening 2A round but both wrestlers
have a lot to be proud as they represented the Jags for the
first time.

In the opening match, Spencer was defeated by
4th ranked and eventual State runner-up Derek Holschlag
of La Porte City/Union 13-4. In the consolation round,
Spencer couldnt find his groove, losing 19-6 to #7 ranked
Travis Pulse of Davenport Assumption. Spencer finished
his season 40-8. Caleb lost to #7 Blake Lawless of Albia
14-2 in the first round and dropped a 19-3 technical fall
to #9 Wyatt Rhoads of Gilbert in the consolations. Caleb
finished his season at 29-17.

The guys were disappointed they couldnt quite
get out of the first day of wrestling but they enjoyed the
experience. After some self-reflection, Spencer didnt
make excuses but indicated he just didnt wrestle well.
He just couldnt get his mind and body to sync together.
That happens sometimes to kids who wrestle the first time
in the Well. Its a different atmosphere and buzz. He made
some mistakes with his hips and positioning he really
hasnt made all season.
Caleb gave it a hard go against two solid kids
but came up short. He has had quite a season. Caleb indicated he didnt start wrestling until his freshman year.
Qualifying in just four years of wrestling is pretty impressive. We wish we had a couple more years with him.
