Breitsprecher removedfrom council meetingin uncontrollable rageAt Dayton City Council. . .

It was a seemingly routine Dayton City Councilmeeting on Wednesday, Feb. 10. It was orderly and re-spectful until one last vote was taken. And then was an explosive conclusion. Therewas another vote on naming the official city of Daytonnewspaper after presentations had been made. Council members Beth Wickwire and MichelleStapp voted for the Dayton Leader and council membersKevin Diehl and Kevin Lambert voted for the DaytonReview. It was a 2-2 tie. And then it happened. Kendra Breitsprecher,owner of the Dayton Leader and city council member,went into a rage. She said she would be suing peopleabout this decision.

In a loud, angry voice she uttered a vulgar pro-fanity. She was in an uncontrollable rage.

She was screaming at the top of her lungs andfamily members put their arms around her, escorting herfrom the council chambers and building.

Harold Larrington, a Dayton resident, said he hadseveral snowmobilers who drove their snowmobiles on hislawn in recent weeks. He made his complaint at the Feb. 10Dayton City Council meeting.

Most of these problems occurred during the Satur-day, Feb. 6 Snowmobile fun run which started in Dayton andwent to several area towns and returned to Dayton later thatday.

Harold and his wife Holly reside at 302 3rd Ave.SW, in Dayton. Harold stated that he called police and theyresponded in a timely manner. They put up yellow tapearound the corner of his lawn but a few snowmobilers con-tinued to go under this tape anyway. Dayton Police ChiefWayne Pigman was the officer that responded to Haroldscall. Harold stated that their was considerable noise and hewas disturbed that snowmobilers were crossing a portion of

his lawn.

Two Dayton Residents complainabout snowmobile incidentsAt Feb. 10 Council meeting...

It was mentioned by a snowmobiler leader thatthe majority of snowmobilers used the correct route goingaround Dayton. However there were a few people who didnot know the route very well who caused the problems, hestated. Richard Hindman, 401 2nd Ave. SW, said therewas some damage created by snowmobilers in his area.Under Business It was announced that the City of Dayton will seekmultiple bids on tree trimming and taking down diseasedtrees in the upcoming year.

Mayor Richard Travis announced that the City ofDayton has curtailed some snow blowing in alleys becausesome of the equipment has been damaged this year and thecity is trying to preserve their snow plowing equipment to thebest of their ability. The City of Dayton will be contacting Iowa Central

Wednesday, Feb. 17, 20162 Dayton Review

This is Glenn Schreibers column from Au-gust of 2004. There is an item on a young boy whodied in Iraq, a graduate of Jefferson-Scranton. There

is also an item on Cedes Kitchen (local restaurant atthe time) and a short paragraph on Mark Klever. The Des Moines Register featured a heart-warming story in Sundays edition on Ben Carman, the20-year-old 2002 graduate of Jefferson-Scranton whowas killed in Iraq. Ben was a Marine and he was the 11thIowan to die in the war. Ben was a member of the First Assembly of GodChurch. One Sunday in January he stood at the altar ofthat church and 450 people surrounded him with prayer.He didnt wear his dress blues that day. He knew therewould be lots of hugging and he wanted to hug back. Ma-rines in uniform arent supposed to show emotion, he toldhis parents. . .That image of Carman standing shyly at thechurch altar is forever embedded in the minds of thosewho love him.

The Rev. Rod Block, who had known Carmansince he was a toddler, talked with him the day before heleft Iowa. Carman said he was ready to face whateverhappened, according to the Register story written by LeeHill Kavanaugh. There was quite a concern in his heart, natu-rally, knowing that it could cost him his life, Block re-

embered. But Ben had a real assurance of who he wasand what he was, and being a Christian, knowing that ifthis was his time, he was ready. I think he wanted us toknow that. Carman was the towheaded little boy who lovedplaying soldier and building forts. The third of four chil-dren in Nelson and Marie Carmans family, he played inthe woods of their 280-acre farm, hunting deer, trappingraccoons, and fishing in the North Raccoon River. His

tracks are all over the farm. Marie Carman first hiked with him when he wasan infant strapped to her back. His favorite spot was anoverlook on their property where the river flows at thebase of cliffs 60 feet high, a place now sacred to his fam-ily.

Carman played football for the Jefferson-Scranton team. He never did start, but he did impress hiscoach. The offensive line coach, Mark Sawhill, remem-bered Carman as the kid whod get knocked down butwould jump back up and say, Lets go. He was one of the hardest working footballplayers Ive ever had, said the coach. In a field hear thehigh school are five large tires. Four are for tractors, thelargest for a combine. Upright, its five feet tall, and itweighs 80 pounds. As part of their daily workout, foot-

ball players must flip each tire 10 times, Sawhill said.Most of the players, even the biggest ones, didnt lookforward to the combine tire. But medium-sized Carmanran straight to it every day, Sawhill said. He didnt flip it10 times. He flipped it 12. Carman was quiet, shy and polite almost to afault, whether he was asking farmers before hunting ontheir land or asking a girls parents permission to dateher. Dee Herbers daughter, Liz, now 16, dated him fortwo years. Dee Herbers can barely talk about Carmanwithout crying. She feels her family lost a future son-in-law.

Liz Herbers broke off their relationship days be-fore Carman left for Iraq. It was too much to deal with,thinking about him fighting in a war, she said. The lasttime Carman Herbers was in March, the day before his

unit left Kuwait for Iraq. She wasnt home. After Carmans death, the Herbers learned thattheir names were scrawled inside his Bible, with versesnext to each. Even in Iraq, he was praying for people heloved, Dee Herbers said. Nelson Carman tries not to grieve in front of hisfamily. He often visits his sons grave by himself. SinceBen Carmans funeral, tiny American flags have sproutedin the dirt. Someone stuck a fishing pole in the ground.Some days a glass of brandy appears next to a cigar butt.Its a Marine brotherhood thing, someone told NelsonCarman. Visiting here, feeling the presence of so manyothers who were touched by his sons life, comforts him.It also drives home the finality that his son no longer willwalk in the door or call him some afternoon.

Carman often wears his My son is Marinebase ball cap. Recently, a stranger who saw the cap askedhim whether his son was home from the war. Carman smiled and told him yes, hes home.Forever. Its hard to read that story without shedding afew tears. Many of us have a relative or friend serving inIraq. I have copies of the full story published in the DesMoines Register for anyone who would like a copy.

Cedes Kitchen was closed Monday so that theycould make a few changes in the restaurant. Cede andLaMont installed a new sink in the kitchen and there weresome other improvements. A local prankster recently took one of MarkKlevers real estate signs and put it in front of the lagoon

just southeast of town. He attached a sign that said lakefrontage lots for sale. I dont think Mark received manyphone calls from this dubious advertising.

Iowa State utility regulators are concerned thatthe owners of 296 parcels of Iowa land have refused tovoluntarily grant easements for the proposed Bakken oilpipeline, which would cross diagonally through 18 Iowacounties. One of those 18 Iowa counties is WebsterCounty. There are many farmers affected in WebsterCounty and in other neighboring counties. The Iowa Utilities Board met for nearly threehours on Tuesday of last week without reaching a de-cision on a request by Dakota Access LLC, for a statepermit to build the 30-inch-diameter pipeline across 346miles in Iowa. The board plannws to resume deliberationsWednesday and is also scheduled to meet Thursday. Dakota Access, a unit of Dallas-based EnergyTransfer Partners, says it has voluntarily obtained signedeasements for about 80 percent of the Iowa land parcels,which are primarily farmland. However, owners of theremaining 296 parcels could face condemnation proceed-ings if the pipeline is approved by state regulators whoconclude eminent domain is justified under Iowa law ac-cording to a story in the Des Moines Register. Eminent domain is the right of a government toseize private property for public use, in exchange for pay-ment of fair market value. But that definition is posing alegal worry for Iowa utility regulators that may ultimatelybe resolved by Iowas courts. The issue here is: Is the Dakota Access pipelinea public use? said Cecil Wright, the state boards assis-tant general counsel. Pipeline opponents argue the pipeline is not apublic use because Dakota Access is a not a public utilityand none of the oil will be refined in Iowa. Proponentssay the pipeline will contribute to the nations energy in-dependence, will provide a safe method of transportationand will help farmers by freeing up railroads to ship Mid-west grain. The pipeline would be used to transport up to570,000 barrels of light sweet crude oil daily from NorthDakotas Bakken oil patch through South Dakota andIowa to a distribution hub at Patoka, Illinois. State regulators spent part of Tuesday examin-ing electronic displays of Iowa county maps, lookingat land parcels in Boone, Buena Vista and Calhouncounties where farmers have refused to sell their land.In some cases, farmers have suggested the pipelineroute be relocated, including a northwest Iowa turkeyproducer who doesnt want the pipeline to interferewith his operations expansion plans. Wright told the board that some pipeline foesobject to the diagonal path of the projects route, par-ticularly because it will interfere with farm tile drainagelines. Dakota Access has promised to repair any damageto tile lines, and the company says farmers will be able toraise crops on ground above the buried pipeline. The board will have to ask, Was there a betterway to construct this pipeline with regards to Dakota Ac-

cess and the diagonal route? Wright said. Under the states administrative code, a pipelineproject is allowed a construction deviation of 660 feet

one-eighth of a mile from its proposed route. ButDavid Lynch, the boards general counsel, cautioned thata pipeline route cant be moved onto land where a prop-erty owner hasnt received legal notice, and regulatorswouldnt want to relocate the pipeline through a cemeteryor school grounds. Pam Mackey-Taylor, conservation chair forthe Iowa chapter of the Sierra Club, said after Tuesdaysmeetings she is concerned that no alternatives have beenpresented by Dakota Access for the pipeline route. So

now the board is trying to resolve issues facing individualIowa landowners who have objections and there is noway to relocate the pipeline this late in the process, shesaid.

MacKey-Taylor also said she doesnt believemany landowners objecting to the pipeline route had aclear understanding that they needed to provide alterna-tive routes on their land or elsewhere because the admin-istrative proceedings involving the project have been socomplex.

Landowners in Boone, Calhoun countiesrefuse oil pipeline access to Bakken297 land parcel owners say no. . .

Community Clubmember wouldntshare thoughtsConfdential interview. . .

Last week I called a person who has been amember of the Dayton Community Club for a long time. I had two questions for this person and I as-sured this person that his/her name would be confiden-tial. The conversation was strictly off the record and Iwould never reveail his/her name to anyone. What is your opinion about two officers of theDayton Community Club trying to secure a $100,000loan for second medical clinic in Dayton?

I have an opinion on this but I dont want toshare it, he/she said. I could literally feel him/her shud-der over the phone. There was fear in the persons voice. Do you have an opinion on the direction/phi-

losophy of the Dayton Community Club? I have an opinionn on this but I dont want toshare it with anyone. And again, this person seemedafraid to give his/her opinion on the matter. The fearwas evident in his/her voice tone. And does this represent the current state of theDayton Community Club? Are people able to presenttheir opinions without worrying about being attacked?

We are in the second month of this year 2016.It seems like early in the year that we hear a lot abouthealthy eating and exercise to get our bodies in shape.We are told which foods are good for us and we also hearabout the negative effects of eating unhealthy foods. Ofcourse, this doesnt mean we always eat correctly. The

thing is, we not only should be concerned about our phys-ical bodies and try to be as healthy as we can be. How-ever, we should also be concerned about our spiritualbodies also. We can easily feed this spiritual dimensionunhealthy sights and sounds. If we deliberately listen to negative words thatcontradict what God wants for us, our spiritual bodieswill suffer just as our physical bodies do when we eat toomuch of the wrong foods. So, we must be on guard, notonly watching what foods we eat, but we need to watchwhat our eyes and ears are seeing and hearing. We maynot realize it, but our eyes and ears are the gateways toour hearts. We need to be aware of all that is not good forus, whether it is for our physical bodies or our spiritualones.

Dayton Review

Memory the store of things remembered thetime within which past events are remembered. Thoseare a couple definitions Websters gave me. Thus I con-clude memory has a wide expanse that keeps enlarging

as we add the years. In these jottings I have endeavoredmany times to reach back into those many years my lifehas covered forgetting some of the more recent events Idefinitely do not want forgotten. Thus I bring back someof the memories of mission trips to Jamaica. It was in 1998 that our church was first intro-duced to a group from St. Andrews Lutheran Church inMahtomedi, Minnesota, called Mission Jamaica. Ourchurch studied up on the mission and decided we couldrecruit a group to make a trip. They are known as va-cations with a purpose, each session being from Sat-urday to Saturday. Our small group went in the winterof 1999 (I believe in early March), flying to Kingstson.We, fortunately, retrieved all our luggage, two each, onecontaining supplies for the elementary school we wouldbe serving. The evening was waning as we boarded our

waiting bus which took us to a resort some miles awayup into the mountains. My roommate and I made it to ourquarters only to find our key wouldnt work. We eventu-ally got into another space which was clean though notwhat most people would expect of a Jamaican resort.I do not recall an evening meal so we may have eatensnacks we had brought with us. The next morning wefound the scenery beautiful. The breakfast was a buffetat outside tables. As we went through the line the foodlooked very good and I know that I was one that took agenerous scoop of what I thought were scrambled eggs,some toast, jelly and good Jamaican coffee. I rememberasking if they had any catsup or mustard (either of whichI like on my eggs). No, none was available. The eggsturned out to be a national dish called Akki (pro-nounced Ah-kee) and aptly named in my estimation.

It is a vegetable that grows on a tree and looks some-thing like a ripened green pepper and MUST be cookedto not only be somewhat palatable but safe to eat. Catsupor mustard may a have helped.

Vacation with a purpose....

The next morning, since it was Sunday, wewould attend church, of course, but it was a large Epis-copalian one in the heart of Kingston. As we drove upto the facility we noticed something strange saunter-

ing across the top of a brick wall was a GOAT! Welearned that even in this large Jamaican Capitol city itwas not unusual to see goats or cattle roaming the citystreets as well as any roadway. The services were nottoo hard to follow very similar to Lutheran. Childrenwere dismissed for Sunday School but when it was timefor communion they were ushered back in. There werefour stations for communion it was that large a facilityand strange building as the congregation grew so did thebuilding. Pews were not all directly facing the altar, yetthe acoustics were good and the configuration such thatwe could participate.

Following church we were bussed to our areasof mission service for tours. Hope Experimental Schoolwas quite a way from downtown Kingston and we weretold, in a rough area. For such a beautiful tropical

country we learned that this was a high crime area wherea shooting had occurred just outside the gates of thehighly fenced school grounds. The work would be variedsuch as repairs to areas or building of new, painting andsome being with the children in their rustic classrooms.On Monday and each day of our Kingston stay, prior tobreakfast, we gathered in a circle near our dining area fora short worship and communion. After my breakfast oftoast and jam, we were again transported to the school,stopping by a clinic to drop off the medical missionarieswith our group. The sizeable front porch was alreadycrowded with people eager for some free medical help.The rest of us arrived at the school in time to be a part oftheir all student opening they did each day. My recollec-tion is that it included some scripture and a prayer. Myfriend and I went to a classroom to observe and tell them

some about where we lived, how our children went toschool etc. The wife of one of the young doctors serv-ing the clinic brought pictures of her three small chil-dren playing and sledding in Iowa snow. The childrenwere as fascinated by those scenes as the children backin Iowa would be of the tropical beauty Mom would taketo them. I was later assigned to help with ushering chil-dren in and out of the eye and hearing testing that wasset up in a spare room. There were doctors from othermission groups who were doing those tests. Once it wasdetermined a child needed glasses the problem was howthey would be able to get them as most families couldntafford them. I know that was one of the problems MJworked on. The children were all so loving and curious anddelights. For an additional charge the school provided us

a simple but ample meal each day and served it to us inthe library which MJ had helped to establish. I remembersome of the food being quite tasty but also learned that ifyou have a meat dish such as chicken or goat (yes, goat)to be careful not to bite down on a morsel but to checkit as they do not debone just take a cleaver and chop,chop, chop. It was there that I first had my favorite Ja-maican treat, a pattie, which is a meat (primarily) withdelicious seasoning, filled crisp pastry. We learned ofall the improvements MJ had been able to give to thisschool and what was planned. The playground equip-ment was updated and now safe; there were computers;plans for better desks than the wooden plank ones thatremind you of prairie schools desks and new tables in thecafeteria. Ill tell you more next week.

Since I evidently didnt have what it takes to be-come a successful farmer, what was I to do? TemporarilyI decided to become a country school teacher. Omittingdetails abut the qualifications for such work, my first dayfirst teaching country school had arrived. I was a scaredyoung man, 18 years of age. About 35 pupils were onhand, some of them almost as old as I was. My duties were to keep the school building

clean and warm in the winter time, to conduct classes inmany subjects, to be able to maintain order, to be a help-ful friend, and to join the children in their games at recesstime. In addition to my pupils, the kindhearted, redwhiskered chief director, Charley Dahl, was present. Hestayed from nine until twelve oclock. He was there fromthe best of motives, of course, to back me up just in case

something might happen. But I also knew that he was,quite properly, taking note of my performance. As a mat-ter of fact, I was more scared of him than of my students,some of them quite husky. Fortunately the day came to a close without anyserious crisis and I was allowed to return the next day andthe days that followed. Probably my main reason for becoming a coun-

try school teacher was that it seemed to be the road toriches. My salary was $25.00 per month, and since Ilived at home and helped with the chores mornings andevenings, my board and room cost me nothing. My cousin, Nellie Main (later Mrs. AlbertYoungdale) also taught country school. But her salarywas $30.00 per month. I was, of course, tempted to be

jealous, but suppressed the feeling when I realized that

her bigger salary was un-doubtedly due to the factthat she was a better teach-er than I was. I shall always beglad that I spent severalyears in teaching countryschools. The boys and girls

who were my pupils thenare men and women now,who, with rare exception,are doing their duty toGod and country. To meetand greet many of themfrom time to time, delightsthe soul and gives addedmeaning to life. How dear to myheart are the scenes of mychildhood. When fond rec-ollections present them toview. I shall alwaysbe grateful to God for the

privilege of having livedfor many years in a com-munity where there is aspirit of friendliness andwhere reverence for Godand His teachings is a gen-eral rule, with very few ex-ceptions.

Medicaid Modernization Continues...

Here are some of the Medicaid points discussedas Medicaid Modernization is implemented: More than 560,000 Iowans are covered byMedicaid, a $4.5 billion program operated by the stateof Iowa. The average Medicaid patient has four chronicconditions and sees five different doctors. By coordinat-

ing care, the goal is to reduce all that fragmentation andprovide healthier outcomes, while improving access tocare. Since 2003, the cost of delivering Medicaid ser-vices has grown more than 70 percent. Those rising Medicaid costs are unsustainableand that prompted the state to explore modernizing how itdelivers services to Iowans utilizing the program through

anaged care organizations. Currently, there are 39 states which have man-aged care in some form. Nationally, nearly 70 percent ofMedicaid participants have their care overseen by man-aged-care companies. In the past, Iowa has contracted with two man-aged care companies to deliver services for people withbehavioral disabilities and for pregnant mothers servedunder the former the former TANF program.

As Medicaid Modernization began moving,a Request For Proposals was issued Feb. 16, 2015, bythe Iowa Department of Human Services to deliverhealthcare services for the Iowa Medicaid, Iowa Healthand Wellness Plan and Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa(hawk-i) programs. Going to a managed care system allows the stateto hire companies to coordinate care and manage spend-ing. Under the terms of the state contracts, the man-aged care organizations cannot cut services or pay pro-viders less than a base rate in order for those companiesto earn profits. The Medicaid Modernization was originallyplanned to be fully implemented on Jan. 1, 2016, but wasdelayed to March 1 by federal officials.

There is some concern regarding access to pro-viders and services, but that has supposedly been ad-dressed in recent months. The number of providers thatwould serve Medicaid patients continues to grow and

ore nursing homes would be covered under the propos-als of the three managed care organizations. Those Iowans currently in a nursing home arenot supposed to see any change for at least two years. DHS officials understand with the change someMedicaid recipients may experience unforeseen circum-stances. So, the department has established a call systemto address these matters in a timely manner. For longdistance calls: 1.800.338.8366. For calls within the DesMoines area: 515.256.4606, Monday-Friday, 8-5. Under the proposed system, quality patient out-comes and access to care are the two important goals set

forth by the state. We all want programs to run as effectively andefficiently as possible. Managed care should help. As always, I want to hear from you. My Sen-ate 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,Boone, IA 50036.

On Thursday, Jan. 28, Karilyn Schleisman,Farnhamville, underwent a five hour surgery to amputateher left leg above the knee after tests revealed a progres-sive cancerous tumor in her leg.

In the months prior to the surgery, Karilyn wasexperiencing immense pain and undergoing testing atMayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. On Wednesday, Jan. 27the leg fractured and exposed the tumor to surroundingareas, causing additional concern.

The decision to operate was immediate. Theonly option to remove the tumor and prevent further riskwas to amputate. With all the pain she was in, it was aneasy decision for her.

Doctors believe they have successfully removed100% of the cancer, and so far tests have shown thatthere is not other cancer elsewhere in her body.

The next steps in Karilyns journey will includea temporary prosthetic leg and a skilled care program in-volving both physical therapy and occupational therapyat Mayo Clinic. Eventually she will be fitted for a custom

prosthetic that will enable her to return to activity.Karilyn is an amazing woman with a big heart,and she has continued to be in good spirits despite thissignificant life change. She also hasnt lost her sense ofhumor, noting her amputation was the easiest 20 poundsshes ever lost.

Her progress has been great, said Karilynsdaughter, Heather (Schleisman) Seeden of Fort Dodge.She has been walking 60 yards at a time several times aday, as well as doing stretches and learning how to movefrom wheelchair to bed and back, roll over, and liftingweights. She will be getting a temporary prosthetic onMonday that she will use during her therapy at Mayo andthat will enable her to do even more.

We are all very proud and excited for her prog-

ress, Seeden said. After completing some intense physical and

occupational therapy in the days ahead, Karilyn plansto return to her home in Farnhamville, Iowa. We knowthere will be tough days ahead and new realities to face,but her doctors fully expect her to eventually be able to

drive, ride her bike and run around with her grandchil-dren again.

After three weeks at Mayo, a new journey nowbegins. She is expecting to get a permanent prosthetic inthe next 4-6 weeks, after which she will be hopefully be-gin returning to as much activity as normal.

While health insurance will help to cover someof her medical expenses, Karilyn will still be facing a sig-nificant burden of medical expenses associated with all ofher tests, surgery, hospital stay, rehabilitation, prosthesis,ongoing therapy programs and Chemotherapy is still apossibility after she heals from surgery. She is also faced with the reality of lost incomeduring the months ahead until she is able to return towork. We can help to ease this financial burden so

Karilyn can focus on moving forward with her recoverywithout worrying about how to pay for the mountain ofmedical costs she is facing. Karilyn is grateful for all the love her local com-munity has shown by sending cards, messages of supportand making donations to the GoFundMe page, availableat www.gofundme.com/supportkarilyn. Donations andcards may also be mailed directly to Karilyn Schleisman,P.O. Box 483, Farnhamville, IA 50538.
