    My name is Amanda Anderson. I am 26years old and am this years Dayton Rodeo Se -nior Queen. I was born and raised just west ofDayton in Gowrie Iowa where I graduated Prai -rie Valley High School before continuing onto receive my Bachelor of Science in AnimalScience;Pre-Veterinary Medicine in 2010 fromIowa State University.

    I have had a passion for horses and rodeofrom the beginning. I remember sitting on thathillside every Labor Day weekend watching therodeo and wishing someday I could be a partof it. I began riding at the age of 2 on a neigh -bors pony. I continued to learn how to ride at a

    The rst day at the SEV High School stu -dents spent time in character and team buildingactivities.

    The students were split into Cat Packs andwent to the park in Gowrie where there was afootball toss, tug-of-war and other activities.

    At the park, hamburgers were served forlunch to all the students and staff.

    At the high school there was a scavengerhunt. The scavenger hunt helped show studentsdifferent areas of the school and the type of be -havior that is acceptable in those areas. The stu -dents learned what the Jaguar Way means.

    Girl Scout camp in Dayton every summer untilat the age of 14 I was able to buy my rst horsePaco. With the help of some wonderful peopleI grew up showing horses and barrel racing in4-H and open horse shows even before I ownedmy own horse and had the opportunity to ridemany great horses along the way.

    I continue to show and run barrels aswell as Judge horse shows. I have been a mem -ber of the Dayton Wranglers now for 8 years. Inthat time I rode with the Serpentine Riders for 6years and carried the American Flag at the 2013PRCA rodeo.

    I am currently the secretary of the Day -ton Wranglers Youth Rodeo and Match of theBroncs Series. I am very honored to be crownedthis years Senior Rodeo Queen and I look for -ward to seeing everyone at the rodeo!

    To Whom it May Concern (you know who you are)...

    I am tired and quite literally so ofeing overlooked and underappreciated. I amot acting catty when I contend that I amaliciously maligned and misunderstood. My

    atience with this matter is wearing categori -ally thin and I demand change. The conditionsnder which I am forced to exist have becomenbearable and I am therefore petitioning foriving adjustments effective immediately, oresterday, if possible.

    Complaint #1 Bathroom conditions. Iave to go underground, into a dungeon-like

    space every time I wish to relieve myself.Furthermore, my toilet provides no privacy andsits within inches of Other Cats bathroom box.Sometimes Other Cat jumps into my cubiclend does the unthinkable. (He is so uncouth.)

    When my human pours fresh gravel into myon-private private space, I race to be first toccess the new, unblemished sand. Id like tolace an order for a new, private toilet aboveround level, preferably near a scratching padith an automatic flushing mechanism.

    Complaint #2 The sun. This yellow dwarfstar refuses to cooperate as a team player. Hes aloof and anti-social and ignores me withoutegard to my feelings. Can you imagine such aeing? Just yesterday I spent the entire after -oon following Mr. Glint and Glimmer from

    ne room to another. I felt as pathetic as a lostuppy. I was tired and much in need of naps.he energy required to chase sunbeams is no

    small matter and deserves fair and reasonableompensation.

    Complaint #3 The dog. Need I say more? I amequired to share my home with my own mortalnemy. This is even more egregious than Other

    Cat doing his business in my box. Sharing myersonal space with a canine is like claws onchalkboard. Thankfully, the mutt is easily

    ntimidated by my preeminence and telepathichreats. Even so, my delicate disposition cannot

    ithstand much more of such inhumane condi-

    ions.Complaint #4 The food. It is cruel to restrict

    nes access to essential nutrition. Catnip is anstablished herbal supplement, yet I must begike a dog for my daily treat. Last week, theumans let my supply run out for two wholeays, which equates to more than a week inat years. The loss of vitamins and mineralsrobably cost me a couple of lives. As a matureeline, I am confident I have proven myself aesponsible nipper and have earned the right ton unlimited supply and I wont settle for the

    heap stuff.Complaint #5 Lack of unencumbered naps.here is nothing as irritating as curling up inton irresistible, fuzzy little fur ball desiring noth -

    ing more than a short snooze only to have somehuman appear out of nowhere wanting to petme and kiss me and tell me how cute I am. Iknow I am cute. I cant help it; I was born thisway. Cant you see I am trying to nap? Pleasetake my feelings and needs into considerationand let sleeping cats lie.Complaint #6 My freedom. Doggone it, I ama prisoner in this place. The pooch lets out oneirritating bark and she gains access to a secretworld I imagine is filled with edible prey andfields of catnip. No matter how much I meow,they refuse to let me explore this forbidden uto -pia. I do not understand why the humans hopeto deny me such treats and pleasures. My bestguess is they are jealous of my overall perfec -

    tion.I could go on, but I dont want to waste a minutemore of any of my nine lives. Alas, it is time forone of my naps and a good stretch. I am certainyou will agree with my terms. If you refuse,I will walk on you during the middle of thenight, swish my tail in your face and cough up ahairball on the carpet when you have companyover for dinner. If you are unable to make themodifications stipulated above, I respectfullyrequest that a new home be found for the dog.Supremely and apathetically yours,The Cat

    One more school story Apparentlythere has been a surge in interest in restoringand preserving the old Iowa country schoolbuildings. Writers and reporters must have

    a personal interest as not long ago there wasanother story in our local paper about vari -ous ones that have been saved, primarily byarea or county historical societies. Some of thebuildings have almost needed to be totally re -built but they are in prominent places wherethis generation and those to follow can see rsthand how it was to attend such a school. Arethere any of my readers who may have residedin the boonies and among some of the last tohave attended such a school? If so, Id like tohear from you. David Peterson had reported to me onvarious Boone County country schools and Ishared his information in this column. He hadmentioned that there were nine such schoolsat one time in Grant Township. This causedme to wonder about the distance the childrenmay have had to trek by foot or possibly horse -back to get to school. I checked and learnedthat Grant Township was approximately 36.24square miles in size. The latest article statedthat State law required schools be built everytwo miles to insure that children had access toan education. I had gured that prior to read -ing the article as with the nine schools properlylocated any child should be within two miles oftheir school. Thats still quite a way for the lit -tlest ones. Maybe that is why many older peopleI once knew who had attended a country schoolsaid they didnt start until they were aroundseven. They would have been more physicallyable to hoof it that far. Back then Dad didnthitch up the team to the buckboard or buggy atevery whim of their kids. Often, if one or bothof the parents were literate they would teachthe younger one some basics, the alphabet,simple reading and writing and of course someciphering before they even attended school.Those schools were basic schools going onlythrough the eighth grade. However, I read

    something, probably one of those pop ups onmy computer of what the average eighth graderin one of those country schools had to know inorder to graduate from eighth grade. Some ofit, especially math, were things I dont think Iever had to try to master.

    Most of those who attended thoseschools in the early days did not have the op -portunity to go on to high school. They justwerent available close enough to their homes.Also many who did complete the eighth gradewere older than average today. This wasntbecause they werent bright enough or hadntstarted at ve years of age. Most were farmchildren and, especially the boys, were expect -ed to help with the farm jobs during spring pre -paring and planting and again in the fall for theharvest. With those duties taking more timethan our modern times, they lost a lot of time inany one year and must successfully completeone grades curriculum before advancing to thenext level. Thus many reached sixteen or soand simply quit as they now had full adult re -sponsibilities to their family and farm. Dontsell those people short most managed to be -come successful farm owners and amass acre -age and be nancially secure.

    My Dad tells of one of his classmates.She had nally completed her eighth gradeeducation in a country school in north CentralIowa (I do not recall which town is was near). She knew that St. Charles had a fairly newmodern brick school house and offered a fullhigh school education. She came to live withrelatives and raduated in his class at the a -

    No Modern Plumbing...proximate age of 20. Thats the determinationmany of those pioneers had. There is even one country school tale Iheard about my Dad. When he was born and

    until he was ve or six their family lived ona Madison County farm near Clanton Creek.As a child I remember seeing the dilapidatedcountry school that served their area. It was atleast a mile from their home. I am assumingthat Dad had wanted to go to school like hisolder brother and sister but of course was stilltoo young. One day Ma said okay and brotherCash, around seven years Dads senior, agreedto take him for a visit. So, as the tale goes,Dad got all dressed up in his best overallsand everyday shirt but for some reason heinsisted on wearing his button down dress upvest and it was over, not under the bib of theoveralls. I dont remember hearing the timeof day but Dad, wiggling in his seat by Cashtugged on him, whispering his impelling needfor a bathroom call. After urgently gettingthe teachers attention and permission Cashrushed Dad out to the privy (thats what theyhad you know) but the vest had to come offbefore the overalls could be unfastened. Yep!You guessed it! Cash had to be excused to walklittle brother home. That was the last time Dadgot to go to school until he was old enough tostart at age 6. By then his family had movedto another farm just outside St. Charles and healways attend a town school.

    Arent we glad we got to go to schoolswith inside plumbing?

    by Nicole Presley Fourty-Five Evangelical Free Church -es began their search for land in 1979 to buildtheir Christian based church camp now knownas Hidden Acres. That same year the churchgroups found 640 acres of land about ve milessoutheast of Dayton and began to raise funds.

    The total cost for the 640 acres of landwas $817,000. In October of that year the landwas purchased from Darrell and Verle John -son, who owned the property, and papers weresigned. Today, about 120 Evangelical Freechurches own Hidden Acres.

    It was an expensive proposition, butthrough the grace of God we were able to payfor the land and develop the property, said EarlTaylor, Design and Vision Director.

    The original land was 500 acres of tim -ber and 140 acres of farm ground. The build -ings already on the property were a hog shed, adecaying barn and a corncrib. Eventually roadswere made and supplies needed for the new

    buildings were secured to the property.

    Hidden Acres hosts Bible based camps;strives to keep program costs lowOver 25,000 people visit camp each year. . .

    The Family Life Center provides many activities for campers. Some of these includea swimming pool, volleyball court, a ping pong table, and a gift shop.

    Inside Lodge 139 the Creation Centeris set up like a classroom. Furs are set on atable in the bottom right corner and un lledtanks for various other animals are placedaround the room.

    number of staff increases to 150 to help run allof the programs offered.

    The camp has also expanded in sizesince then and now covers 660 acres of land.Hidden Acres staff designs and constructs thenew buildings on the campground.

    Its primary function is a summer campfor children of all ages. Typically in one week

    Hidden Acres will host 400 campers. Each yearmore children from the Dayton area visit Hid -den Acres.

    There are a lot of kids from the Daytoncommunity that come out to camp. We noticeeach year more and more are coming. Were re -ally pleased with that, said Taylor.

    Amber Graves, the lead nurse at HiddenAcres and a Dayton resident has been sendingher children to the camp for nine years.

    Hidden Acres has been a special place

    for me and my kids for a long time, saidGraves. Its the highlight of their summer andits important to me that they have such awe -some worship experiences and chapel times. In addition to the summer camps offeredto children, Hidden Acres also has a retreatbusiness that operates from August 1 until June1. During this 10 month period there are retreatsfrom all over Iowa and the Midwest that use thecampgrounds.

    The amount of time a group stays at a

    retreat can vary and reservations must be madeabout a year in advance. Since its not an opencamp the retreats and childrens camps arentopen for just anyone to use. Reservations mustbe made in order to stay at the camp or use itsfacilities.

    We dont allow people to just show upand do things at camp. It has to be prearranged,said Taylor. The retreat business helps keep the sum -mer camp fees low and also helps fund summerprograms for the kids. The camps and retreatsarent exclusively for Evangelical Free churchmembers, as they allow other church denomina -tions to make reservations. We try to keep our fees low enough forour summer camps so theyre not out of sightfor parents to be able to pay, said Taylor. Ifwe didnt have the retreat business, then youdhave to raise your summer camp rates.

    Currently the cost for one regular weekof camp at Hidden Acres costs $325, which in -cludes food and lodging. There are also variousevents and other family camps and sports campsheld throughout the summer. Various retreatsare also held throughout the year. In total, about25,000 people visit Hidden Acres each year.

    Hidden Acres recently nished building

    Lodge 139 that will be used as a creation cen -ter to teach the creation of Earth as told in theBible. Its called Lodge 139, from the Bible inPsalms 139:14, which says, I am fearfully andwonderfully made.

    The camp also will add about 5,000square feet to their horse barn in the next month.The new addition will be a saddling area. Oncethe new saddling area is nished the old sad -dling area will become a riding arena.

    In addition to these plans the camp israising funds to build a new dining center. The

    current dining center has become inadequate toprepare the amount of meals needed for camp -ers. The size of the dining center is also toosmall for the number of campers that visit Hid -den Acres.

    The dining center is expected to be a $1million dollar project and is the primary build -ing project for the camp. A donor has alreadydonated $500,000 towards the dining center,but the camp is still raising money for the other$500,000.

    Currently they are moving dirt and in -stalling geothermal systems for the new diningcenter. Hidden Acres is also building a fourthpond that campers will be able to see from thedining room windows.

    Hidden Acres is owned by the Evangeli -cal Free Churches of Iowa, South Dakota andMissouri, and provides a setting catered to -wards God in all of the activities offered on thecampgrounds.

    Our primary reason for being in busi -ness is sharing the gospel with the children,said Taylor. We utilize the Bible as the ultimateauthority in our lives. We dont look at the Bibleas a nice book, we believe Gods word is Godsword. Thats what we stand for.

    Each week there are guest speakers whoare usually pastors in the surrounding district.There are times for campers to attend chapelthroughout the week, and counselors providedevotion in their assigned cabin unit every daythat week. In addition, the word of God is taughtin all the activities provided by the camp.

    For more information about HiddenAcres visit www.hacamps.org.

    These are Tree Topper cabins at Hid-den Acres. One counselor stays with thecampers and is in the cabin for the wholesummer. The counselors bed is lofted abovethe other campers beds, just like the girlscabins are.

    or community, private colleges State Senator Daryl Beall of Fort Dodgeannounced that he will help lead and effort nextyear to the Iowa Senate to extend the currenttuition freeze in Iowas public universities for athird year.

    The decision was made at a policy meetingAug. 13, in Waterloo. Beall said, Making college more affordablefor Iowa families is one of the best ways tohelp build a higher skill, higher wage Iowaeconomy.

    Fall 2013 was the rst time in more than30 years that Iowa families did not see an

    increase in undergraduate tuition at Iowasthree public universities: Iowa State University,the University of Iowa, and the University ofNorthern Iowa. The freeze was repeated in thefall of 2014. Iowa families should encourage their locallawmakers to join this push for the continuedtuition freeze, said Beall.
