Dayton woman wins

IBA Bow Contest
in Hunger Games promo

Since 1877!

Her bow contest letter

on experiencing archery. . .

Maddisen Heun, 24, of Dayton, won the Iowa
Bowhunters Association (IBA) bow contest based on the
letter she submitted after experiencing archery during an
outdoor event. The contest was held in conjunction with
the release of Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1.

Heun wrote that she found the sport exciting and
skillful and wanted to pursue the activity in the future.
When she learned the bow she used was the same as the
prize, she decided to enter the contest.

The IBA purchased the Matthews Genesis Bow
valued at $200 from Buck Hollow, in Pella.

I developed a great deal of respect and admiration for bowhunters. Although it was only my fist time, I
do not want it to be my last, she wrote.

Heun was presented the bow on Feb. 18.

Citizens express concern about

proposed meat locker in Dayton
25 attend public hearing Feb. 26. . .
By David Satterlee

Randy Andrews is a Dayton resident and is preparing to retire from the military. He wants to bring a new
business to town operating a meat locker in the building
immediately north of the Dayton Grocery. After Randy
presented his initial plans to the City Council, Mayor
Travis began researching the impact of meat locker operations in regional communities and scheduled a public
meeting to let citizens ask questions and get answers.

At that meeting on Thursday evening, February 26, Mayor Travis opened with brief comments on the
meetings purpose and introduced Mr. Andrews. Randy
presented himself with the bearing and confidence of
career military. He explained that his first job was at a
packing plant and that he has worked in a Fareway meat
department and the deer locker in Lehigh.

Randy has researched regulations, prepared a
business plan and investigated multiple sites in the region. He likes this Dayton location because it is the right
size and already has adequate waste water connections
and 3-phase power. The Main Street storefront, currently operated as The Nail Place, would continue to be
leased out.

Construction might be completed as early as late
2015. He intends to start processing deer and chickens at
first, before adding pork and beef later. His ultimate capacity would be about 20 cows/week or, perhaps in about
ten years, he might begin smoking meats for catering. He
would only take animals from individuals, provide his

service, and return the meat to them. He has no interest in

offering wholesale or retail sales.

After some earlier objections, Randy had agreed
to plan for trucks, removing his waste for rendering, to
load in the gravel alley. During the meeting his compromise actually produced the most objections about spills,
smell and access. A few close neighbors, during some of
the most vocal parts of the meeting, said that they would
prefer to move away than live with the stench of rotting
meat oozing down the alley.

Eventually, the consensus seemed to be that
sticking with original plan to load on his own property,
over concrete, would allow him to drain or wash anything that hit the ground back into his own operations.

Inside, the L shape of the building would provide a process flow from animal receiving/holding on
the northeast into kill, processing, waste collection and
refrigeration and packaging. Customer pickup would be
through the side door facing north. He wants to build an
enclosed extension against the alley at the same distance
as the existing building. Randy pointed out that all solid
wastes and blood would be collected for rendering, stored
in drums and held at 42 degrees.

Randy has calculated that his clean-up water to
city sewer will be well-within city code and that screen
traps on drains would conform to the EPA limit of less
than 350 parts per million suspended solids. He will also
install a grease trap if there is not one already there from

The event returns to the Fort Dodge Soccer Association Fields at Roger Sports Complex this year. After
holding Shellabration at the Oleson Park Bandshell from

2011-2013, the decision was made to move back to Rogers Sports Complex for the 2014 summer show due to

We ended up with total attendance of just over

From school to the Post Office

Every once in a while when I remember old times
I wonder where the years went. It doesnt seem that long
ago that I was a teenager attending Boxholm Consolidated
High School. But, then realization sets in and I remember
it was that long ago and over half of my classmates have
gone to their great reward. But, many of the memories of
those times are pleasant and worth remembering.

I did something in my high school years, even in
my junior and senior years, that no high school boy or girl
would be, as the saying goes, caught dead doing today.
During the good weather days of spring and fall I rode my
bicycle to school!! I would leave it near the sumac bushes
on the north side of the school yard (near where the gym
is now). It would still be there six or seven hours later
exactly as I had left it! I never owned a bike lock. But
that was Boxholm in the 1940s.

Upon leaving for home my usual bike ride took
me north along Hwy, 169 by Dan Bakelys place on the
corner past his beautiful and well groomed flower beds
and garden with the flowers around it. It then took me
past Frank and Delia Adams home, also a typically well
kept Boxholm abode. Crossing the street was Jacobsons
Phillips 66 station. The next home was that of the Reuben Jacobsons but if my recollections are correct it had
once been owned by a Julander family. Then I was at the
Main Street corner where the Champlin station (now
bank building) was located and across the street north, the
Lutheran Church, across the highway, east was Wayne
Starks Mobil station and across Main south the garage
once Carlsons but who owned it then?. If I had had to
stop for 169 traffic, losing my momentum, the bike would
be walked east up the hill to my first, and possibly only,
stop at the Post Office which was then directly to the west
of Lundvalls store. I believe it was actually a part that
building. Parking my bike along side the building I entered the Post Office, walked to the back, opened Box 2
to check and get any mail for the Downs family. (I think
that may have been our box number even in the new
building.) At the time Myrtle Stark, the only Post Master
I was ever acquainted with during my residency, was usually behind her cage. At the time she kept longer hours,
opening when the mail came on the first interurban trolley
and not closing until later in the day. I believe Swen, her
husband, spelled her for a lunch break and other times.
The place may have closed earlier on Saturdays. That is
beyond my memory.
Why did I try to stop every day? Well, Myrtle
was one of the towns best sources for gos ---- er ---- ah
-- NEWS! I also liked talking to her because, like Esther Lundvall, she was a great source for the history of
the people of the area. I think in most small towns that
probably is true of the postmaster, especially one who has
lived all or most of their lives there and has deep roots in
the community. This is probably true of a second cousin,
who has been the postmaster in St. Charles, Iowa for a
long time. He is a fifth generation Downs in the community. My great grandfather, his great great, was the first
postmaster of the town. I remember going to visit my
folks in Boxholm for a few days at a time after I had a
couple or so children and taking them up town to experience a post office visit and a store visit. They may
not remember as they were still quite young when I went
back to work.

The post office visits are just a few among my

many memories. I doubt that generations that have followed me got to experience such. Perhaps there was still
some of the post office community communication when
my classmate, John Malmquist held the job but by that
time most of my Boxholm visits were Sunday ones so I
never had the pleasure of going in to see him and get the
town NEWS.
Every so often we hear of several small town
post offices being closed or stuck in the corner of a remaining town business. Are these offices, like so many
schools, also on their last leg? How will the townspeople receive their mail? Will they have to put a box
near the street or hang one by their door? I would hope
they wouldnt have to travel to another community. Some
people in small towns no longer drive or get around too
well. Are we going to lose our rural communities altogether? I have my memories to look back at how it was
but we dont have crystal balls to tell us how it will be.

Hi! My name is Gertrude, said the
lady next to him on the plane. Its so nice to
meet you! Im flying to New York for my grandsons third birthday. Im so excited! I remember
when he was just a little thumbkin and now hes
already three! Its really hard to believe. Hes
the most adorable thing youve ever seen! You
know what? Hold on, I think I might have a
picture on me. Let me take a look in my purse,
yes, here it is, just look at him, isnt he adorable.
Do you see his dimple on his left cheek? Simply
adorable! I could stare at his picture all day.

Oh my, and you should hear him on the
phone! He is just the cutest, he says to me in the
cutest voice Hi Grandma! It just gets me all
teary eyed.

After what seemed like two hours for the
poor man sitting next to her, Gertrude seemed
to realize that perhaps she was talking a bit too
much. You know, I feel terrible! Here I am just
talking and talking without letting you get in a
word edgewise!

Tell me..what do you think about my
Grandson!

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.
Information on Iowas state parks is available online
at www.iowadnr.gov including the link to reservations.
Campers can also log on directly to http://iowastateparks.

Twenty-five concerned citizen attened the meeting about the proposal for a new meat locker in Dayton.

a previous car wash.

Randy estimated that, in full swing, the business should employ about seven people at an average of
$40,000 per year and contribute to the tax base. He felt
that his business would attract customers from within a
radius of up to 150 miles and should increase property
values, not damage them.

It came as a surprise when Randy mentioned
that he would be using a .22 gun as the usual and most
humane way of killing pigs and cows. Mayor Travis immediately stepped to the side where he called the City
Attorney about the Daytons ordinance, which is taken
directly from Iowa Code, prohibiting the discharge of a
firearm within city limits.

Coming back, the Mayor pointed out the possibility, however unexpected, of a bullet going astray. He
added, This is a serious issue. There is no place for it
here. He later added, The firearm issue is pretty cut and
dried. A member of the audience recommended using
a captive-bolt gun, driven by compressed air, as equally
humane and practical and offered to train Mr. Andrews
in its use.

The conversation repeatedly returned to the

likelihood of smell if not directly from the locker operation, then from rendering collection trucks. Manure
would be scooped and kept in a cooled room and picked
up multiple times weekly.

Several people related their bad experiences
with leaking waste trucks. Randy agreed that any unpleasant smell (after the truck left) would also be a major
concern of his, especially now that his plan could probably go back to having trucks load waste at the back of his
customer parking lot.

There were additional concerns about noise,
including added refrigeration compressors. Randy explained that they would be similar to the units already
running for the Dayton Community Grocerys refrigeration and should run at under 80 dB, which is about the
sound level of a spirited conversation or a busy residential road. He also volunteered to be flexible about their
location.

To the end, no one in the audience of about 25
concerned citizens stood to voice their definite support
for the project. However, no one challenged that Randy
Andrews had presented a bad plan or lacked professionalism.

TOGETHER WE CAN

It is the height of Financial Aid filing season and

deadlines are quickly approaching. Financial Aid can be
overwhelming and intimidating. At Iowa Central Community College we like to make this process as smooth
as possible. Follow my top Financial Aid tips to ensure
your success throughout the Financial Aid process.
Tip #1 Plan early! Time can be your greatest asset.
The sooner you start saving for your students education,
the longer you will have for your savings to grow. Options you may want to consider are the 529 College Savings Plan or an Education Savings account. If you are
a parent of a high school senior and you havent begun
saving, dont panic. Consider the time you have from
now until school begins and make the most of it. Dont
discount continued saving for future semesters after your
student begins college, even small amounts add up. The
more you save now, the less your student will have to
borrow in a student loan.
Tip#2 File the FAFSA. FAFSA is an acronym that
stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Notice the word FREE, it doesnt cost anything to file the
FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. The application for the 20152016 year became available January 1, 2015. The FAFSA is the application for grants, work study, and student
loans. The Pell Grant ranges anywhere from $0-$5,775
for the year depending on your students eligibility and
does not have to be re-paid. Iowa Centrals priority deadline to file the FAFSA is March 1. Keep in mind we still
accept Financial Aid applications after that date, but
some awards are first come, first served!
This year you will need to use your 2014 tax information to complete the FAFSA. If you havent filed
your taxes yet, still go ahead and file the FAFSA early.
You may either estimate your 2014 income information
or you may use 2013 tax information. Once you file your
2014 taxes, you may log into the FAFSA and make a
correction to input the 2014 tax information. Another
tip, if you arent sure which school your student plans
to attend include all of the schools they are looking at
in the school section on the FAFSA. This will send their
processed information to each school. Lastly, even if you

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

Elevated Fluoride Levels Detected in Dayton Municipal Water Supply
This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental
problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels,
fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing
more than 2.0 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fluoride may develop cosmetic
discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your public water system, DAYTON MUNICIPAL WATER
SUPPLY, has a fluoride concentration of 2.35 mg/l.
Dental fluorosis in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a
brown staining and or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children
under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or
water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility
of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing
products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water.
Drinking water containing more than 4.0 mg/l of fluoride (the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agencys drinking water standard) can increase
your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain
more than 4.0 mg/l of fluoride, but were required to notify you when we
discover that the fluoride levels in your drinking water exceed 2.0 mg/l
because of the cosmetic dental problem.
For more information, please call Dayton Municipal Water Supply
at 547-2711. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. In Iowa, home water treatment units are
regulated under 641-Chapter 14, with the water treatment unit registration
program administered by the Iowa Department of Public Healths environmental health division. In addition, you may call the National Sanitation
Foundation (NSF) International, at 1-877-867-3435.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this
water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for
example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).
You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

Obituaries

After weeks of virtually no actual Senate floor debate, Tuesday saw a flurry of action as 18 bills were discussed and received votes. Many were non-controversial
and what we refer to as non-cons. There were several,
though, that were anything but a non-con.

Probably the most notable was the proposed gas
tax increase. I would like to thank all of you who contacted me on both sides of the issue since the beginning of
the session. As a testament to Iowans in general, and to
my district specifically, even though emotions were high,
everyone was very willing to openly discuss the issue
in an attempt to persuade, without questioning anyones
motives or intent.

Richard Johnson, 72, of Dayton, Iowa, passed away

on Sunday, March 1, 2015, at his home.
Funeral services will be held 10:30 a.m., Thursday,
March 5, 2015, at Carson Stapp Funeral Home in Dayton. Burial will be in the Christ The King Catholic Cemetery in Dayton. Visitation will be Wednesday, from 5:00
to 7:00 p.m., at Carson Stapp Funeral Home in Dayton.
For online obituaries & condolences please visit: www.
carsonstappfuneralhome.com
Richard Leroy Johnson was born August 10, 1942, in
Lake City, Iowa, the son of Raymond and Lois (Bexten)
Johnson.
Rich graduated from Prairie Valley High School
in 1961. After graduation he attended Universal Trade
School in Omaha, Nebraska.
In 1968, he was united in marriage to Susan Cahill in
Fort Dodge, Iowa. The couple moved to Dayton in 1973.
Rich worked as a mechanic for Ruben Lundberg International in Dayton, Swaney Equipment in Fort Dodge,
Murphy Tractor in Des Moines and Fort Dodge as a John
Deere mechanic.
Rich enjoyed woodworking, making wooden Christmas tree ornaments and birdhouses. He loved fishing,
camping and spending time with family.
He is survived by his wife, Susan of Dayton; son,
Matt (Sheley) Johnson of Stratford, IA, daughter, Jodi
Johnson of Fort Dodge, IA, and a son, Christopher Johnson of Dayton, IA; grandchildren, Meagan, Taylor, Miranda, and Zachary; great-granddaughter, Mylee Marie;
sister-in-law, Marj Johnson of Gowrie, IA; one niece and
many nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, Tommy in infancy and Rick.
Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.

Even though I voted no on the proposed increase, I still need everyones help in providing long-term
solutions to our road situation. The gas tax increase will
raise a projected $200 million. Iowa receives over $300
million in federal funds that have multiple restrictions on
their usage. Please contact our federal delegation and ask
them to either block grant the federal dollars back to
Iowa, or at least allow a waiver process so Iowa can use
those funds according to Iowa needs, rather than some
arbitrary, restrictive formula. We could better utilize millions and millions of dollars. It would be a big deal.
Another bill debated was SF 219, which dealt
with the penalties for possession of marijuana. The bill
lowers the first offense possession from a serious misdemeanor to a simple misdemeanor. I voted no on the bill
because I do not think we should be sending the message
that its not as big of a deal to possess a banned substance.
Colorado is currently expressing some regrets in regards
to its recreational use and I certainly dont want Iowa to
make the same mistakes.

Speaking of marijuana, this is another issue the
federal government must address. If cannabis oil is to be
prescribed as a viable medicine, it needs to be tested and
go through the normal FDA process. That means it must
be changed from its current classification as a Schedule I
drug. Until that happens, the pharmaceutical companies
cannot do the appropriate research and testing. With all
the anecdotal evidence of medicinal value, real studies
need to take place.

It is truly an honor and privilege to represent you
in the Iowa Senate.
As always, I want to hear from you. My Senate number is (515) 281-3371 and my home number is
(515) 432-7327. Write me at: State Capitol, Des Moines,
IA 50319 or at my home address: 1313 Quill Avenue,

Iowa Central also offers academic scholarships to
Iowa residents ranging from $500 up to full tuition for
the year. In addition, we also offer academic room scholarships to Iowa residents ranging from $300 up to $1000
for the year. These amounts are based on a students high
school GPA and all your student needs to do is send in
their final high school transcript to our admissions office.
Other areas to check for scholarships are your local high school, church, library, community organizations, employers, and any other activities your student
is involved in. Another source for scholarships is www.
fastweb.com. Dont discount the small $50-100 scholarships; that scholarship could possibly cover the cost of
a book and it all adds up! The more scholarships your
student can receive the less you or your student will have
to pay out of pocket and/or borrow in a student loan.
Make sure you pay attention to deadlines as well, many
are quickly approaching.
Tip#4 State Application. The FAFSA is the application for Federal student aid, but it is also important to
complete the Iowa financial aid application to determine
your students State Financial Aid eligibility. You may
access this application online by going to www.iowacollegeaid.gov and click on the blue link on the right hand
side titled Iowa Financial Aid Application. As a side
note, the Iowa College Student Aid commission is also
an excellent source for scholarships.
Tip#5 Limit student loan borrowing. About 65%
of students graduating from Iowa Central have student
loan debt averaging $11,587, and that is just the first two
years of school.
If that student plans to transfer to a 4 year, more
expensive, school it would be reasonable to triple that
number. Using todays interest rates, that loan payment
would be around $400 a month and could very likely be
a burden to that new graduate looking for a job and trying to get settled in their new life as an adult. Student
loans are an option to help with educational expenses,
but they are not meant to replace an income or support
a lifestyle. At Iowa Central we award the maximum student loan that a student is eligible for, but that does not
mean the student is required to borrow the full amount
of that loan. A student should only borrow the absolute

minimum possible to cover their direct educational expenses. Ask any college graduate with student loan debt
and I bet theyll tell you they wish they had borrowed
significantly less in student loans.
Tip#6 Work. Just because your student is starting
a new venture, it doesnt mean they cant or shouldnt
work. Maybe they will need the first few weeks of the semester to get their feet wet and determine how much they
can work between classes, but when the time is right a
part time job for your student is important while they are
in school. These earnings can help with living expenses,
other educational expenses, and in turn, reduce or eliminate the need for a student loan.
Tip#7 Special Circumstances. Although the FAFSA
asks more than 100 questions, it doesnt always capture
a true picture of each familys financial situation. If there
has been a job loss in the family or you have unusually
high medical expenses make sure you contact the Financial Aid office to further explain. There may be some
steps you could take to re-evaluate your students eligibility based on your special circumstance.
Tip#8 Learn all you can about the colleges Financial Aid process. At Iowa Central weve created a nice
checklist so both students and parents are aware of what
their requirements are throughout the process. You may
access this checklist under forms on the Financial Aid
page of Iowa Centrals website. It is always important to
ask questions. Financial Aid is a complex area. If you are
unsure of something, its always best to ask.
If this still seems overwhelming, take a deep breath,
make a to-do list, prioritize what needs to be done, and
take action. At Iowa Central my staff and I are here to
help; always feel free to ask questions throughout the entire process.

has benefits of good roads, while the burden of payment

is on a select few. Also remember, that the bonds need to
be paid back WITH interest, and we get nothing for the
interest paid.

The third option made the most sense to me.
The road use tax funds are constitutionally protected and
shall be used only for road use; building new, repairing,
and maintaining roads and bridges.

Everyone using these roads pay for them while
driving, whether you live in Iowa or are traveling through
our state.

Others have asked why we didnt take funds out
of the general fund to pay for the roads. The general fund
pays for education, health and human services, economic
development, safety budgets as well as other state budgets. All would be negatively affected.

Splinters - any way we look at them, they are no

fun! First of all, theyre painful when we get them

and then, of course, there is the removal of them.
If were lucky, we can get by with just a
tweezers, but the worst case scenario is a needle to
dig the splinter out.
Childhood friends suggested if we leave the
splinter alone, maybe the splinter will work its way
out on its own. However, we know that if we do
that we run the danger of infection, which causes
more pain and then we wish we had dealt with the
problem sooner, painful or not.
Have we ever thought about sin being a splinter
in our souls? Well, it is and when we do something
wrong, theres a voice in our sub-conscious that says
- just ignore it. Forget about it. Maybe it will work
itself out. (same brilliant advice we were given by
childhood friends many years ago.)
But the thing about sin is that it doesnt work
itself out. In fact, the longer we try and ignore
our sins, the more they will fester and grow. In
the 32nd chapter of the Book of Psalms, verses 3
& 5 we find:while I kept silent, my body wasted
away through my groaning all day long. Then I
acknowledged my sin to You and I did not hide my
iniquity; I said, I will confess my transgressions to
the Lord, and You forgave the guilt of my sin.
Its a proven fact that we just cant hide the
things we do that are wrong. We have to get them
out into the open, or they will fester like an actual
splinter. With unresolved sins in our souls, our
conscience will not let us rest.
When we go to God with a humble and contrite
heart, seeking His forgiveness, He, with His loving
and forgiving nature, is quick to forgive us.
He wants to forgive us. That is why His beloved
Son died on the cross - so that our sins can be
forgiven. He knows that what we most need to do is
to get rid of those splinters in our souls. We need
to confess our sins so that healing may take place.

Gas Tax / Road Use Tax Fund

I want to thank each and every one of you who
have contacted me regarding the fuel tax vote. For those
who favor the increase to see safer and quality roads, I
agree with you. For those who say we pay too many taxes, I agree also with you. So my job is to find the balance,
to have safe roads while holding down costs.

There were many proposals; all raised a tax in
one way or the other, basically in three areas.
1) Raise the sales tax a penny ; 2) Bond for roads and
place payment of bond on the property tax payer and
3) Raise the fuel tax a dime

Ill address each one. First, raising the sales tax
a penny would raise twice the needed amount. The average hard working Iowan family of four would pay about
an extra $300 per year in sales tax.

I think that is too high. The second option of
counties bonding for repairs and new roads places the
cost upon the property taxpayer. In this option, everyone

Christian youth concert at Our Saviours Lutheran

Friday, March 17...

Christian recording artists Ryan Edberg and Jeremy

Vanderloop will be in concert at Our Saviours Lutheran
Church in Callender on Friday evening, March 13th at 7
p.m.
As the lead singer of the Christian rock band Silverline, Ryan Edberg always and will always have a heart
for worship. After playing on stage with almost every major Christian band, touring the world, and having four #1
singles, Ryan is excited to announce that he is working
on his debut solo album which he will present that night.
Hailing from Clearwater, Florida, national recording artist and worship leader, Jeremy Vanderloop, is a

dynamic young man with a passion for God, music and

people. Jeremy developed his musical gift, and song
writing ability at the age of sixteen.
Now at 26 years old, married and a father of a precious baby girl he has cultivated his drive and passion for
full time ministry. With a mixture of Indie, rock, folk and
pop, not to mention the lyrics bathed in the Gospel of Jesus, then add his witty and entertaining personality to the
mix. Jeremys concerts and presentation of the Gospel
are an unforgettable experience.
The cost of the concert is $5 per person at the door.

LOST MONEY?
Despite Chinas refusal to approve Syngentas GMO
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.

We represent individual farmers.

Our team represented over 2000 individual farmers in the Rice GMO claim. We opposed the class
action and secured more for the farmers we represented. Our group of lawyers will continue
meeting with farmers with respect to each farmers individual Syngenta claim.

Firemens Super C Tractor Silent Auction

The Gowrie Firemen are having a silent auction for a
restored 1952 Farmall Super C Tractor. The tractor was
donated by Doc and Jean Hubbard of Gowrie to be raffled
with proceeds going to Gowires new fire station.
December 6 2014 the raffle drawing was held and
Frank Rose from Gliddden, Iowa won the tractor. Frank
then donated the tractor back to the Fire Department so
the more money could be raised for the fire station.
The tractor can be seen currently at the Gowrie Fire

Station. The tractor includes a bell mower system and a

narrow trout end conversions.
Bids can be placed by contacting any Gowrie Fireman or by calling Greg Benson at 515-352-3896.
The final bids for the silent auction will be taken at
the Firemans Breakfast Sunday, March 15. The silent
auction will include many other items to bid on.
The breakfast is at the old fire station from 10:30
a.m.- 1:00 p.m. Breakfast is a free will donation and everyone is invited to attend.
