ReviewVol. 138, No. 43 Wednesday, October 28, 2015 daytonreview@lvcta.com

By Tyler Anderson The opening of bids for the Dayton Elementary School addition, along with the approval to two bids for mowing and snow removal were among the highlights of the Southeast Webster-Grand Community School District Board meeting at the Southeast Valley Middle School Library in Burnside on Wednesday, Oct. 21. The Building and grounds committee reported that 12 contractors expressed interest in the bid for build-ing the new addition for Dayton Elementary, which will include a new gymnasium, safe rooms and rooms catered toward daycare and early education. After the approval of minutes, the agenda and bills at the beginning of the meeting, Jessica Hector sub-mitted a resignation letter as a high school volleyball coaching assistant, which the school board accepted. Board member Dustin Hector abstained from the vote. In the financial status report, the general fund is up while the impact of open enrollment was discussed at the meeting. Overall, the district is only down two stu-dents. Lundgren expressed the board’s thanks for Board Secretary Karla Flickinger’s diligent work. In the citizen participation portion of the meet-ing, Danny Hanson reported that if the third room is not added in the new addition at the Dayton Elementary building, the old band room needs to be modified. This would pose a problem, as it would tamper of the present roofing and piping.

With the difference between grass seed and sod, Hanson said that sod can get expensive. Hanson also said that it’s a huge project for the school district, but to con-tractors, it’s a smaller project. Cindy Greene reported that the Boxholm build-ing’s flag pole sustained some damage and is currently

Boone County Supervisors adopt anti-pipeline resolution The Boone County Supervisors voted unani-mously to adopt a resolution against the Bakken Pipe-line at their Wednesday, Oct. 21 morning meeting at the Boone County Courthouse. The resolution, which outlines the Supervisor’s opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline, urges the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) to deny the permitting of the pro-posal due to concerns over safety, eminent domain abuse, and liability. Iowa Citizens for Community members (CCI) praised the action, and called on Boards of Supervisors across Iowa to pass similar resolutions ahead of IUB’s mid-November hearings. “I’m proud of the Boone County Supervisors for taking a stance to protect Boone County residents and the health of our soil and waterways for present and future generations,” said Mark Edwards, Iowa CCI member of Boone County. While a handful of Boards of Supervisors in impacted counties have passed resolutions related to the pipeline, this is the first resolution to call on the IUB to reject the Bakken Pipeline. “The conservation ethic of the Boone Supervi-sors in taking a stand against the Bakken Pipeline to sup-port Boone County residents is significant,” said April Burch of Boone, “I hope the Iowa Utilities Board will take their responsibility to represent Iowans as seriously as the Boone Supervisors did this morning.” Before finalizing the vote in favor of the resolu-tion, the Supervisors (Tom Foster, Steve Duffy, and Chet Hollingshead) noted that the action was taken in response

He has been married to his wife Mary Kay for more than 20 years and has two children, Katie, who is at-tending Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, and Adam, who is currently a junior at Southeast Valley High School in Gowrie.

Why are you running for this position? “I am running to help the council succeed to make Lehigh the best city to live and raise a family. “I hope this council can attract some area resi-dents to start new businesses and save these old down-town buildings, and also maintain our water, sewer, and electric utilities that create the income for our city.”

What issues are important to you and why? “We need to attract new families to town to maintain a good population base that will in turn reinvest in the community. “Somehow, we need to take advantage of the good things happening in Fort Dodge. The people of Lehigh care about their home town and seem to fight for its survival.”

Why are you running for this position? “I am running for this position because I believe with our current Mayor and City Council, we will be-come a team that can accomplish goals for the betterment of the City of Lehigh.” What issues are important to you and why? “Issues that are important to me are to bring back businesses to Lehigh. “I was born and raised in Lehigh and moved away in the early 1970s. When I retired, I came back from Texas and moved back to Lehigh. “It just was not the town it was when I left, and that made me sad. I have seen towns in Texas that have a name, but there is no population. “I don’t want that to happen to my home town.”

Mayor of Lehigh: Paula Martin... Incumbent Paula Martin will be running for the Lehigh mayoral position on Nov. 3. Martin initially came to Lehigh as postmaster in 1980, and has served Lehigh as mayor or being a city council member. She is married to Gene, and has two sons.

Why are you running for this position? “I came to Lehigh in 1980 as the postmaster. Right away I began to hear ‘what can be done to make the town better?‘ At that time, I decided to run for council. “For the next 20 years, I have been on council or mayor. The main reason for running is that I always think I can make a difference. I love working for and with the people of Lehigh and I am proud to be a representa-tive for Lehigh.”

What issues are important to you and why? “The main issue for me would be to bring in any new businesses, which would help maintain the business-es that we have now for any growth to happen.”

Congrats to these girls setting their goals to qualify for the state meet and then going out and doing it.” The Jaguars will compete at the state meet on Saturday, Oct. 31.

Dayton Dreamers plan for Thanksgiving at eventful October meetingBy Alice Johnson It was a spectacular autumn day on Oct. 15 when 20 Dayton Dreamers club members made their way to the Community Center for the October meeting. For the past five months, we dined out at various area restaurants, so it was great to go back to the Community Center again for the October meeting. After the table grace was sung, we enjoyed a scrumptious meal prepared by member Lee Fredrickson, a former caterer. The cuisine he prepared for us consisted of food items that would be served for brunch; namely scrambled eggs, sliced ham, basque of vegetables, cheese grits souffle, crispy palmiers (a French pastry), a fresh fruit compote, cof-fee cake and blueberry, chocolate and apple crumb muffins. Fredrickson was applauded for the delicious and well-prepared meal that he made for us. President Bonnie Reck opened the business meet-ing by leading us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Secretary Alice Johnson then read the minutes of the September meeting. A motion was made to accept the minutes as read, seconded. Motion passed. The treasurer’s report was then read. A motion was made to accept the report as read, seconded. Motion passed. Secretary Johnson reminded the members to check out the scrapbooks on display that have been updated and may be taken out if a member wises to do so. Harold Rentschler reminded Dayton Dreamers that the Lions’ annual Blue Mound Turkey Dinner will be held at the Dayton Community Center on Nov. 22. Happy Birthday was sung to two October birth-days: Carolyn Huglin celebrated her 90th birthday on Oct. 4 and Lee Fredrickson celebrated his 80th birthday on the Oct. 12. President Reck then reported that volunteers are needed to help put up the Christmas lights and displays at the Oak Park in October.

Reck also stated that the Ladies Night Out event will be on Nov. 12 for those who are interested in attending the various businesses that are participants. Next on the agenda was the planning of the menu for the Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 19. Several members volunteered to furnish the turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, relish tray, jel-lied cranberry sauce, biscuits/rolls, corn pudding, three dif-ferent types of pie and whipped cream. The Dayton Dreamers all look forward to this an-nual meal. Our program consisted of a presentation by hobbist member Lynn Schlief. She is very creative and skilled in various handcrafted items that she has been involved in for many years. On display, she had handcrafted small copper wire trees, shadow boxes displaying small antique items, lawn decorations, and a scrapbook with pictures/article of her per-sonal geneology. We were all mesmerized by the three little people that she assembled, clothed quite authentically, and were named according to their character. The dolls stand at three feet tall. There was Cody, the cowboy; Harley, the biker, and Tracy, a lovely young teenager. We thank Lynn for her very interesting presentation. At the conclusion of the program, a motion was made for the meeting to adjourn, seconded and passed.

Down Memory LaneB Y S A R A D O W N S

In my lifetime I venture to say there have been more inventions, innovations and strides made in indus-try, science and technology than in any four scores years ever before. I am almost overwhelmed just to try to think of all that progress. Open cockpit biplanes were quite common when I was born. I think it is a rather infantile memory that I recall there having been one landing in a field next the farm on which we lived. In later life I learned that rides were being given to anyone who could afford the few dollars to ride behind the pilot for a short flight over St. Charles and the surrounding farm area around. Those were still the “Barnstorming” days. That “airfield” would have been approximately where Inter-state 35 now exists. Now, not really that many years lat-er, in overall time of our planet we have planes faster than sound, those that carry hundreds of passengers around the world in a day. Man has been to the moon and back and quite a few have actually lived in space for a length of time. Some say they want to be on the first flight (their only and last) to Mars. It sets this aging mind to wonder-ing, what is the matter with people? I tell others, we were created as we are for survival on this planet. If God wants inhabitants some other place He has or will create them for survival there. Well, you know the response there. We used to think a big journey was to go all the way to Des Moines or back down to our old home town of St. Charles. That was an overnight trip. It was something when we went to the State Fair and back in one day. A trip to Boone or Ft. Dodge to do some “bulk” shopping in the bigger grocery stores or to get the new season’s outfits, coats and shoes (if we could afford them) was a treat and sometimes deserved a written excuse to get out of school. I can remember when we were yet in grade school a classmate reporting a few Mondays in the year that, “We went over a hundred miles away this weekend.” Now people just hop in their heated and or air conditioned, almost steer themselves vehicles, at a mo-ment’s impulse off they go. The people in Boxholm have to be sure they keep their gas tanks full so they can give in to such impulses. Of course the majority probably have their cell phones charged and in their pockets so can al-ways give someone a call if an emergency arises. If they are really up to date with those gadgets they have a GPS or similar system and can track or be tracked. They can even turn things on or off at home, lock and unlock doors, set or reset thermostats. My phone isn’t that sophisti-cated. It’s not sophisticated at all. Even though it can do more all I want is to call and get calls – period! If we decide it’s time for a meal and don’t like what we see in the fridge, freezer or cupboard, let’s just go up town for a sandwich and tip a couple (coffee or whatever), or run to Casey’s for a pizza or to the next town that has an eatery open. What was a big deal and special occasion “in my day” is just commonplace for many of us now. I don’t imagine that either Boxholm or Dayton has the advantage I have in that if I really want that pizza but am too lazy to go out or fetch it I can have it delivered. It’s a long way from when my Grandma would say to one of us kids when another relative or neighbor showed at mealtime – “Go down to the cellar and get an-other jar of beef and some more taters”. Now most of us, admit it or not, are more of spur of the moment people. Dinner (supper to most rural people) doesn’t have to sim-mer a long while on the back of the old coal/wood kitchen range. With all the “progress” and “living made easier” I have noticed that something else seems to have hap-pened. Because it is, in a way, a smaller world we don’t feel as safe. I sent my children walking off to school, even when in kindergarten and that school was several blocks away on a reasonably busy, no sidewalk street. By the time my grandchildren, especially the youngest, were

What's this world coming to?going to school, they were driven there and picked up. If you go by schools these days you will see cars lined up at dismissal time and if you are one of the late ones for your kids you have to drive around and wait your turn. Usually all the children are escorted out and teachers or other employees make sure they are in the proper vehi-cles. Many of the youngest children have their own cell phones, primarily so parents can keep track of them. The advancements, particularly in communica-tions and transportation, have made it easier for the com-mon man to seek “new pastures”. Sometimes small com-munities like those around Boone and Webster Counties have a lure. The reasons may vary; perhaps being to es-cape or hide from things in their lives. Others may just find the solitude and friendliness of a small community suits their lifestyle, needs and purses. In recent years the little town of Dayton had to learn that children should be “escorted”, even a short way from their bus drop off near home. Someone who, more than likely, in the old days would not have even been near the town came in and caused a terrible tragedy. Now recently, when the town had regained its rural serenity another tragedy has struck the town. My Mom and hers before her would probably have said, “My, my, what’s this world coming to?” And that is what we are wondering. What has all this new eas-ier to life stuff done to us? We love all the conveniences now offered but we have to use the gifts given us wisely and be prepared to handle situations where some don’t do the wise thing. We just hope that there will be a solution soon and that wherever we are we’ll all remember to be watchful and “love thy neighbor as ourselves”.

By Tyler Anderson Huge win on the road. District champs. Home playoff game. Still fighting. Bouncing back in a big way after falling to St. Edmond the week before, the Southeast Valley football team overcame an early downpour and captured the Class 2A-District 8 title with a 44-13 victory over Clarinda on Friday, Oct. 23 in Clarinda. The Jaguars improve to 7-2 and will host a home playoff game against Estherville Lincoln Central (3-6) at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 28. “I’m very proud of the kids and coaching staff,” Head Coach Mike Swieter said. “Everyone has worked hard to achieve this goal and accomplishment.” The game began with a Clarinda drive, as the Cardinals employed a power running attack against the Southeast Valley defensive unit. The Jaguars were able to stall the drive and force the Cardinals to turn the ball over on downs. Southeast Valley’s offensive unit began on shaky ground, forced into a punting situation by the Clar-inda defense.

The Jaguars were saved by a defensive holding call, but a pass downfield by junior quarterback Nolan Brand was tipped and intercepted by Clarinda’s Joshua DeGase. At the end of the first quarter that saw both squads eat long amounts of game clock, the score stood at a scoreless tie. Then, fortunes began to sway in Southeast Val-ley’s favor. Following a Clarinda three and out, Southeast Valley began a long drive that culminated with a one yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Kaleb Jondle. Junior running back Aaron Swieter converted the two pointer, turning the game into an 8-0 Jaguar advan-tage with 6:53 left in the half. Southeast Valley would capitalize further, re-covering the ensuing kickoff. Unfortunately, the Clar-inda defense contained the Jaguars, as Southeast Valley turned the ball over on downs at the Cardinal 26 yard line. Clarinda responded with a strong drive of its

own, before a deep pass by the Cardinals landed into se-nior Cade King’s hands on the Southeast Valley 15 yard line. On a third and seven in the Jaguar drive, Jondle broke through for an 81 yard touchdown run. After the two point conversion that saw junior Myles Davis connect with junior Dakota Jaeschke, the Jags capped off the first half with a 16-0 lead. Coming back from the break, Southeast Valley would score 14 unanswered points from a 64 yard Jondle touchdown run, a junior Ryan Gustafson interception and a one yard Aaron Swieter touchdown score. Capped off with a two point conversion by Da-vis, Southeast Valley held a 30-0 lead with 7:23 left in the third quarter. While Clarinda scored on the following drive to close the third quarter, Davis connected with King for a 23 yard touchdown pass and a two pointer that saw Davis finding senior Conner Conrad in the endzone. With 11:18 remaining, Southeast Valley stood with a 38-7 lead. Clarinda would fail to respond, turning over the ball on downs on their own 43. The Jaguars soon found themselves on a fourth and one at the Clarinda 27 after sustaining another drive. Senior Carter Steck was given the call, and burst through the defense for a 27 yard touchdown scamper.

Despite a blocked PAT attempt, the Jags extended their lead to 44-7. The Cardinals scored one more time, with a touchdown run by J.J. Clark with 34 seconds left. It proved too little and too late for Clarinda, as the following two point conversion was held back by the Southeast Valley defense. The end of the game shown a 44-13 Southeast Valley victory. It was Kaleb Jondle who led the way for the Jags offensively, blazing 277 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries. “The line dominated, blocking the whole game and the running backs took advantage of it,” Swieter said. “I want to also give my thanks to all the fans who made the trip.” Defensively, Gustafson and junior Alex Pliner led Southeast Valley with eight and a half tackles. Senior cornerback Keaton Jondle also recovered a fumble for the Jaguars during the game. For Coach Swieter and his coaching staff, this is the eighth straight winning season and seven out of last eight years saw his teams reach the playoffs. Four out of last eight years, Swieter’s staff has attained a district title. In other district action, East Sac County blanked Red Oak 28-0 while Shenandoah ran away from Kuem-per Catholic with a 33-13 victory. West Central Valley participated in a non-district game, falling to Missouri Valley by the score of 41-0.

The town of Dayton was laid out and named by Benjamin Allison, in Nov. 1856. This was two years be-fore Dayton township was organized. Allison named the town West Dayton. In 1857, Allison built the first house in town. It was located where the Dayton House, or hotel, once stood - now the site of the Clover Farm Store. The house, 16 x 28, had two rooms. The family lived in one and Allison operated a store in the other. The supplies for the store were hauled from Keokuk by ox teams; it took from four to six weeks to make the trip. However, the store failed after two years, due to the depression from 1857 to 1865. Some of the early families made their first homes in caves in the hillsides, which afforded more protection from the weather, than the covered wagons. A short distance south and east of town these caves can still be found. Later log cabins were built among the trees. Benjamin Allison Started a saw mill in 1856, which sup-plied lumber for building. Dayton became an incorporated town, with the official seal on July 21, 1881. This was published in the Dayton Review July 21, 1881. Since Dayton was established in 1856, it has had a variety of business establishments. Some thrive for a while, but the changing needs of the people warranted a change of business. Therefore, we look back to the old days, when we had harness shops, blacksmith shops and three deliv-ery stables, that have been replaced by the garages and implements shops of today. Through the years, we have lost a number of business houses; such as those that sold boots and shoes; and coal, the creameries; millinery shops; hotels, flour mills, saw mills, brick and tile factories, etc. A stage coach route was established in the fall of 1856, on the west side of the river, between Fort Dodge and Des Moines. Oscar Powell was the stage coach driver. The route came through Dayton on the street east of the business district, to the basement barns and stage coach building. Here horses were kept to exchange for fresh teams for continuation of the trip. An opera house above a corner brick build-ing had “fine scenery” and seating capacity for several hundred. The seats were straight backed wooden chairs. All community entertainment such as movies, wrestling matches, class plays and speech contests and high school graduation exercises were held here. The Dayton Review was the first newspaper printed on May 2, 1879. It was founded by D. C. Auy-er and C. E. Dennison. One of the main editorials was, “Working the Roads” asking for improvement of high-ways for the benefit of the people. The paper was sold to J. A. Lindberg in 1880 and edited by him for the next 10 years. Grocers sold all of their food in bulk. People ordered their food by the pound. Coffee was sold green and had to be roasted and ground by the customer. Eggs, butter and corn were used by some consumers to “trade” for food supplies. There were no egg cases, so the eggs

Dayton’s early years...were paced in boxes and baskets in grain. Some grocers had corncribs behind their stores for storage. Not only food was sold in the three stores, which were called general stores, most items of clothing, shoes, boots and household linens were also on the shelves. Today Dayton’s one grocery store has most of it’s foods packaged. There are also many other items sold, reminding us of the three general stores of long ago. Soon after the end of World War I, a group of veterans organized the American Legion. It was named Peterson Post 323. Three Peterson men from three differ-ent families lost their lives during the war. World War II veterans joined the Peterson Post and since that time the membership has been around 100. In the eastern portion of Dayton Township a brief flurry of coal mining flourished near the mouth of Skillet Creek in the 1890’s which resulted in a post office named Lindberg being established in the area. This town had several names but the one remembered by the middle aged generation was ‘Hard scrabble’.

IUB will be ruling on the pipeline decision at their mid-November public hearings, which will be held at the Boone County Fairgrounds. A hearing open for public comment will be held on Nov. 12, while all legal issues will be considered on Nov. 16.

During the Principal’s report, Southeast Valley Middle School Principal Dan Fox reported that Home-coming had a lot of participation and the kids really got into the dress up days and other assorted activities.

Homecoming was a success, according to Fox, and the effort by the staff and local fire departments were appreciated. Fox also mentioned that a solid number of stu-dents are out for middle school basketball. There will be a true A, B and C teams.

Fox wanted parents to know that where their kids are at and where the school wants the kids to be. The next assessment will be sometime in January. Fox said that he was pleased that the seventh and eighth graders are doing quite well. The highlights of Dayton Elementary Dan Grandfield’s report was that Homecoming was a huge success. No one got lost and there were no extra kids. Grandfield reported that Logan Boerner, Conner Conrad and other Southeast Valley football players did an awe-some job teaching kids The Jaguar Way. Grandfield talk-ed about Coach Sloth’s visit to Dayton Elementary. The pet parade, according to Grandfield, was also successful. Lundgren thanked the principals for their hard work. Superintendent Rich Stoffers reported that the TLC has been submitted. Stoffers said that everyone has done well, how teachers are engaging with their students and improving the culture of the school. Finances are something that will continue to be closely monitored. There will be a district wide assessment survey.

By Tyler Anderson Pilot Mound resident Deck Crouch, along with 11 other Southeast Webster-Grand school bus drivers, were recognized by the Southeast Webster-Grand School District during National School Bus Safety Week on Thursday, Oct. 23 at Dayton Elementary. While the week observing the hard work put in by bus drivers lasted from Oct. 19 to Oct. 23, Southeast Web-ster-Grand Superintendent Rich Stoffers commended the drivers on their dedication busing students throughout the year. “Our bus drivers do a tremendous job of taking care of our students each and every day; no matter the weather or conditions- all year long,” Stoffers said. “Driving our buses can be very challenging at times, but our drivers are well-prepared, very experienced and love being around children and students. The most important thing our drivers do is get them to and from school safely.” The drivers honored were Crouch, John Flickinger, Rod Cummins, Bob Wolf, Anita Wolf, Kevin Copper, Jim Troutwine, Jori Lizer, Mike Sandstrom, Amanda Osborne, Rachel Foster and Transportation Director Curt Wiles.

east Webster-Grand School District, as Stoffers and Dayton Elementary Principal Dan Grandfield presented a plaque to Crouch for his 55 years of service. Covering more than 220 square miles, the South-east Webster-Grand School District transports an average of 266 students on a daily basis. These drivers and the vehicles they drive, ranging from bus routes to shuttles and miscellaneous trips, amount-ed to more than 160,000 miles in the 2014-15 school year. According to Stoffers, all miles traveled were with-out any serious incidents, accidents or injuries. “I hope our students, parents, staff and community members take a moment to thank Curt Wiles, SWG’s trans-portation director, and all our bus (vehicle) drivers for their dedicated efforts and willingness to take on the daily chal-lenges of driving a school bus with our young children and older students,” Stoffers said. The school also acknowledged and wanted to re-mind drivers of Kadyn’s Law, introduced and signed into on March 2012, to be aware of and not pass a school bus while it is loading or unloading students.
