High voter turnoutin special election;Breitsprecher wins In a relatively high voter turnout Dec. 15, Ken-dra Breitsprecher won in a special Dayton city council election. Kendra polled 81 votes and Beverly Jondle had 46 votes. There were more votes cast in the special elec-tion than in the November council election (127 in De-cember versus 77 in November). Mrs. Breitsprecher was able to successfully motivate her supporters. This was a much higher voter turnout than in the special council election of 2014 when there were 98 total votes. Beverly Jondle is a newcomer to local politics. She polled one vote higher than one of the incumbents in the November election.

Wade Sundell, a native of Boxholm, took the lead in the saddle bronc season standings with a second-place ride Friday night in the second round of the Na-tional Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas ealier this month. Sundell scored 82.5 points on Tip Off after winning the opening round. He leads the standings with $151,641 and tops all NFR competitors with $56,962. Sundell placed first in three of 10 rounds at the prestigious Wrangler National Finals Rodeo that invites only the top 15 riders from around the world. Each first place finish tacked on an additional $19,002.40 to Sun-dell’s total earnings, placing him 3rd in the final world standings for the year. Wrangler National Finals Rodeo was held Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 4-13. Wade Sundell’s larger than life personality shows up every time he gets on a bucking horse accord-ing to one Vegas publication. Full of humor and charisma, Wade has not just won his way to the top of the ranks in the sport of rodeo; he’s won a legion of dedicated fans along the way. Wade, who grew up in Iowa, began riding roughstock as a kid getting on sheep and calves. He spent many of his teen years focused on bull riding and high

school wrestling. Wade now concentrates on the event of saddle bronc riding like his dad, Doug, competed in.

There was a good turnout of children and fami-lies seeing Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus the first weekend of Santa visits at Oak Park in Dayton during the Festival of Lights. On that first Friday , Dec. 12, there were 21 chil-dren seeing Santa and on Saturday, Dec. 13, there were between 25-30 visiting Santa. Many more children were expected to see Santa this past weekend. Some children were a little bashful with Santa and two children cried. Indeed, for some children it is an emotional experience. Mom and Dad are with them of course. Continual repairs and upgrades were made at the Festival of Lights. Beverly Jondle worked at the Festi-val each night in December and got assistance from her daughter Katara and sister Patsy. It was a continual process of repair, mainte-nance, and setting up more displays. Several people in our area contributed lights. Families were also able to enjoy sleigh rides this past Sunday, or horse pulled wagon rides as provided by Frank Green from our area.

Our business familyis working together. . . Christmas has arrived and at this time we cel-ebrate the birth of Jesus. As Christians this is a glorious time of the year. We enjoy Christmas programs, candle-light services, good food and fellowship. And we celebrate with family, remembering that Mary and Joseph started their family with the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. There are many types of families. We have our families by birth and we’ve nurtured our family relation-ships over the years. Many of us also enjoy “family” re-lationships within churches, businesses, organizations, and the like. I am personally pleased that our business family within our two newspapers has really blossomed this year. We have three key people who really work closely togeth-er: Tonya Harrison, graphic designer; Mary Ann Young, clerical manager; and Jill Viles, writer. Tonya has been with our newspapers in Gowrie and Dayton for four years; Jill has been writing for us for about three years; and Mary Ann Young started in July. Mary Ann Young is the newcomer and people will be pleasantly surprised when they get to know her. She works with people very well and diligently works to satisfy our readers and customers. Tonya works closely with several businesses and groups also and she has deep roots in the Gowrie area. Jill skillfully handles local gov-ernmental meetings and feature stories. About 10 years I ago I enjoyed a very good team at the Dayton Review with Linda Hansen and Jonathon Fehr. We were very close with one another. Jonathon would later move to Texas to be with family and start a new career in graphic design. He was multi-talented and a great guy. Linda, who did so many things well, retired. There were good people who followed but the business was never the same. Once again we have a team that works very good together. We have some good talent, but more importantly our people work so well together. Those special bonds in a business family are vitally important. Individually they are such nice, respectful people. We have several other very important people who contribute to our business each week. Sara Downs has written a great column, Down Memory Lane, for many years. Dave Anderson has been our dependable driver for four years; Mary Stufflebean has been our advertising sales representative for more than one year; Alice John-son has written feature stories and more; and many others too numerous to mention have also contributed. Our business family wishes you a very Merry Christmas. Share your Christmas joy with all families.

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

By the time this is being read Christmas may have already come and gone for some of you, that is, you were too busy or otherwise preoccupied to sit down with The News or Review and peruse the pages. But, I am writing it midst the “busy” time of preparations for many of us. It is my hope that by the time this appears in print we all will have “gotten our act together” and everything we planned to do fell into place. Right now, however, my Christmas cards are partially addressed, the great grandkid gifts (25 of ‘em) are partially assembled, a couple more things to get to put in the annual “goodie” package of son who lives in Washington, packages to be assembled and mailed, a couple gift cards to get and a couple flowers to order and then I’ll be all set. Oops! When will I have the time and/or opportunity to make some homemade fudge. Gotta do it. It’s an expected tra-dition. So I hope by the reading of this composition we all have accomplished and presented and celebrated or nearly celebrated according to our own traditions. Ads on TV seemed to have been more down played than usual. Have people been counting on the ads in the pre-thanksgiving and Sunday papers or per-haps searching “the web” as I understand that is quickly becoming a favored “shopping trip”. I even noticed that the Chia Pet and Clapper ads were later in appearing and not as frequent. Have those always at Christmastime fa-vorites diminished in popularity? Never had a Clapper though often thought might be a handy item to have if they really worked so efficiently. Never had a Chia pet but long time ago bought the first out (that remembered) Chia head thinking my children would enjoy it but as often the case, Mom was the one who soaked it down, spread the seeds and tended it. The fascination was short lived. However this year I wished I had the $$$ re-sources to get the smaller great’s (by family) one for the fun of it but then there were the others --- so let that thought quickly evaporate.

A Christmas Message... I, having no particular interest in the newest electronics, games, phones, etc., have paid little atten-tion to visual or written enticements of the year. Upon occasional curiosity about one of the gadgets, note the prices. As a behind the times great grandma I am a bit taken aback when I note those amounts and wonder what parent can or will decide to purchase it for their offspring, especially the very young. But – it is being done and the credit card companies are jumping for joy this time of year. In all our preparation, whether in our kitchens, in stores, searching the internet, have we taken the time to stop and think what the season is all about? Have we endeavored to teach our children the basics, the really important? In my own family, while they try to give their offspring “what other kids have”, I do believe they are taught or shown that these things are not what makes the season important. I hope the decorating and candy and cookie making include letting the children “help”. I hope they have heard of times past from parents and grandparents and that they have heard the true Christmas story over and over, not the movies repeated on TV or the children’s fairy tale books (though they are okay) but the one that comes from The Book. I hope they will have gotten to participate in a children’s program at a church and tell the story in that simple childlike way we all en-joy seeing and hearing. I hope they have gotten to sing all the songs both in homes and in church and Sunday school. But now as this appears in your mail boxes, time has dwindled and another Christmas will be or, in some cases, having been celebrated with family and friends. I hope families are keeping their traditions and passing on to the next generations. In the meantime, A Merry and Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

SV girl Jags loseto MansonNW;three have 10 boardsGreat Jag rebounding. . . The SV Jag girls have had a very good season but they did stumble Dec. 15 against MansonNW, losing 51-36. The 1st half was a close half with many lead changes. By halftime, the score was 24-25 with the Cou-gars ahead by just one point. Unfortunately, the Jags could not sustain their play for the second half. They gave MNW too many easy baskets because of turnovers. Erica Rittgers led the way for the Jags, scoring 9 points.

That game was held on Tues-day, December 22, at 6pm.

On December 17, the Jaguar Wrestling team capped off a successful night of wrestling in their final home dual of the season on Sr. Parent night by winning two out of three duals, beating Guthrie Center, 31-21 and Panorama, 43-42 on criteria. The Jags dropped their final dual of the night to Ogden, 45-27. Coltan Klingson, Trey Lawrence, Kyer Jondle, and Kaelan Lundberg went 3-0 for the night. Coledon Bethel and Zeke Miller finished 2-1; Carter Fluckiger, Ivan Hudson, and Matt Ross fin-ished 1-2. Evan McCrady and Xavier Nichols went 0-3. "The guys really wrestled hard, winning some matches late in the third period. Our young guys stepped up; Freshman Coledon Bethel won a close match at 106, Carter Fluckiger scored late back points to beat his Guth-rie Center opponent and Kyler Jondle scored a reversal with back points in the last ten seconds of the match to beat a real solid Ogden opponent."Lawrence, Lundberg Champs @ Roland Story Invite On December 19th, the Jag wrestlers wrapped up the 2015 season at the solid Roland Story Invite. At the end of the day, sophomore 132 lbs. Trey Lawrence dominated his bracket once again by recording three falls capturing his first Roland Story title, winning his second tournament in a row running his record to 18-1 for the season. Lawrence pinned senior Bill Joslin(1:07) of Ro-land Story in the finals. Jr. 170 pounder Kaelan Lund-berg(16-4) won his first tournament title of his career in fashion by also pinning his way through the tournament field dominating East Marshall's Jake Dixon, recording a fall in 1:17. Freshman 160 lbs Kyler Jondle(16-5) wres-tled all the way back to third after a tough opening round loss by a point in a very tough 160 pound bracket.

Evan McCready & freshman 138 lbs Carter Fluckiger placed eighth and Freshman 152 lbs. Ivan Hudson did not place. "In this tournament we were down to one senior and one junior in our line up and the rest freshman and sophomore. Our young guys continue to improve but give up big moves. They execute a move and look really good and the next flurry of moves they get themselves in out of position and it cost them giving up back points."

quirement for a successful cooperative merger as certified by independent auditing firm of Gardiner Thomsen. To approve a merger, Iowa law requires at least 50 percent of each membership (plus one) to vote, with two-thirds of those casting ballots voting in favor of the merger. “Our members’ voices were heard in this merger process. Not only in the results of the vote, but in each and every member meeting and coffee shop conversa-tion,” explained West Central President and CEO Milan Kucerak, who will become the CEO of the newly formed cooperative. “This merger showcases our members’ re-quest for their cooperative to do more together for their operations than either business could do separately. We take our members’ confidence in a combined cooperative seriously as we prepare for integration and execution.” The unified cooperative, to be known as Landus Cooperative, will be led by current West Central Presi-dent and CEO Milan Kucerak and be headquartered in Ames, Iowa. The board of directors will be made up of nine directors from each cooperative for equal represen-tation. More information on any changes will be provided in coming months as integration plans are finalized. Together, West Central and FC have more than 70 grain, agronomy and feed locations in 26 Iowa and three Minnesota counties. According to World Grain

magazine’s Grain and Milling Annual, Landus Coopera-tive will become the seventh largest grain company in North America based on storage capacity and have shut-tle-loading access on all seven major Iowa rail lines.

Cooperative merger...continued from page 1...

Heavy rainfall lastweek raises areacreeks, ditches, riverDayton area rainfall. . . On Sunday and Monday of last week Webster County, our area towns, and much of Iowa experienced a very heavy rainfall. Our Dayton, Lehigh, Harcourt area and sur-rounding towns received between 3.5 inches to 5 inch-es of rain. We experienced many hours of consecutive rainfall which commenced Sunday night and continued through Monday morning. There was a brief period of snowflakes Monday morning but the snow quickly melted. Area ditches, creeks and rivers were elevated as rainfall was heavy here but also very heavy north of us. Many fields had small ponds.

Heavy rainfall lastweek raises areacreeks, ditches, riverDayton area rainfall. . . On Sunday and Monday of last week Webster County, our area towns, and much of Iowa experienced a very heavy rainfall. Our Dayton, Lehigh, Harcourt area and sur-rounding towns received between 3.5 inches to 5 inch-es of rain. We experienced many hours of consecutive rainfall which commenced Sunday night and continued through Monday morning. There was a brief period of snowflakes Monday morning but the snow quickly melted. Area ditches, creeks and rivers were elevated as rainfall was heavy here but also very heavy north of us. Many fields had small ponds.

Wade joined the PRCA in 2007. It turned out to be a good decision as he has amassed over $1 million in lifetime earnings. He qualified for his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 2009, and he’s been making the trip to Las Vegas ever since. That year he also won a Ram National Circuit Finals Championship and in recent years he has come extremely close to a world championship several times, finishing third in the world twice and second in 2010 in a close match for the title with Cody Wright in the tenth round of the WNFR. And in 2014, the first year of RFD-TV’s The American rodeo, Wade took home the win and a hefty $100,000 paycheck. He repeated that again this year. He also had seven rodeo wins and two co-championships in the PRCA that helped get him to the top of the standings, and he just won the Canadian Finals Rodeo. No one has more fun riding saddle bronc horses than Wade. Expect to see him smiling a lot in the Thomas and Mack Center as he pursues his first world title.

Sundell scored 82.5 points on Tip Off after winning the opening round at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 4-13. He leads the standings with $151,641 and tops all NFR competitors with $56,962. Photos by Amy Crouse.

The Dakota Access Pipeline is coming to Iowa, to deliverdomestically extracted energy to our economy.

We’re in the final stages of preparation, with trade andcraft unions training skilled workers and suppliers stagingsteel and other materials for construction.

And we’re signing easements with landowners to installthe pipeline.

This pipeline project is helping revitalize Americanmanufacturing and the regional economy in two key ways:

1) At least 50% of all labor will be sourced from unionhalls in states along the route. We will also useconstruction equipment from Iowa and Illinois-basedmanufacturers. We do this because Dakota Access iscommitted to benefitting Midwestern communities.

2) Dakota Access will bring our country closer to energyindependence, a key step to a flourishing Americanmanufacturing industry. America’s energy renaissancehas created employment for millions of Americans,and we are helping to ensure that continues.

It takes dedication, training and decades of experience tosafely source, construct and operate a buried pipeline.That’s why we are working with the best Americancompanies and employing highly trained Americans fromvarious skilled craft unions throughout the United States —to do the job right.
