Dayton Band, Mourning Glory, electedto Iowa Rockn Roll Hall of Fame

The Mourning Glory Rock band, which startedin Dayton, has been elected into the Iowa Rock N RollHall of Fame. The band was formed in Dayton in 1971. Mourning Glory, in recent years, has appearedseveral times at the Dayton Alumni Reunion. All four

embers were friends at Dayton High School. Mourning Glory was nominated for the IowaRock N Roll Hall and then chosen by an Iowa RNRBoard of Directors. The band will be officially inducted into theIRNR Hall of Fame Sept. 4 at the Sami Bedell Center forthe Performing Arts in Spirit Lake. The group Mourning Glory began in 1971 whenfour friends from Dayton High School in Dayton cametogether to share their love of rock music. The four had

known each other for years and two of them - Don My-ers on guitar and Joe LeValley on Drums, had played to-gether in at least three previous groups. In 1971, Don and Joe were joined by Roger Pe-terson on Keyboards and Mark Plahn on bass. A studio was created in a small farmhouse, loanedto them by Leo Blanchet, a farmer near Dayton and thefather of another high school friend. Nicknamed TheMansion, this little building just five minutes from townprovided the group the home it needed.

Having a full-time space allowed the group tokeep its equipment set up all week, and to practice four orfive nights a week when not gigging. Other Dayton residents assisted the group withthe free printing of posters, free use of an enclosed truckfor traveling to performances and, perhaps most impor-

tantly, opportunities to perform.Three friends were credited for providing the

cornerstones of support for the group: Robert Blanchet,the late Bob Brockman, and Bruce Hagge. Allan Bass, ahigh school friend, also was a great help, especially dur-

ing the groups first year together.The groups repertoire included covers of songs

from many of the biggest names in rock n roll at thattime, including The Beatles, The Who, Chicago, GrandFunk Railroad, The Rolling Stones, etc.

The group also played original songs written bylead guitarist and vocalist Don Myers. When Westminstr

Gift From God....

This is a heartwarming, true story I related ina column in 2010. It is a miraculous story and somewill need a hanky at the end of this story. I escorted my mother Rosalie to a ValentinesBanquet Saturday, Feb. 13, at Tempe Nazarene Church,Tempe, AZ. It was a fund-raiser for the Womens Minis-try and it appeared to be a routine evening, until everyoneheard a stunning testimonial.

It was a slightly formal occasion, but many likee were dressed in casual attire. The banquet/ dining

room was nicely decorated and several types of fund-raising activities were being conducted.

My friend Jill Pack played her harp, provid-ing background music for the early festivities and meal,which was catered Italian food. No one expected the dra-

atic story that would be given later.

After the meal and introductions, Jill and Phyl-lis Reed, playing flute, concluded their performance andDave and Kirsten Hart were on stage singing.

They are professionals who sing/perform as afull-time career, and they were very good. As the coupleperformed several contemporary Christian music selec-tions, and then some romantic ballads (because of Valen-tines Day), I thought this would be a nice, but fairly rou-tine type of concert. Later in the program, Kirsten tookthe microphone and told the story of their lives.

The couple struggled in the beginning, and theyendured some financial hardships. But they managed toraise three boys, one of whom is a star athlete at a Divi-sion II college. Gradually over the years the married singingduo received some acclaim and they became somewhat

successful, traveling all over the United States singingat churches, church sponsored activities, or other venueswhere their Christian music would be in demand. After more than 20 years of marriage, the couplereceived an invitation to perform on a cruise. This was abig development and the first such offer that had been

ade to David and Kirsten. They accepted and then weretold that they would need passports. We had moved several times, and we were al-ways traveling to perform in different cities. I needed abirth certificate to get my passport, and I didnt want tosearch through all the boxes, so I called the appropriatecounty office in New York, Kirsten related. Kirsten gave her name, maiden name, and otherpertinent facts for this government office. They didnthave anything on file. There was no birth recorded in her

year of birth, or for any other year. There must be some mistake. She repeated theinformation, giving more data. Nothing. There was nodate, no listings whatsoever. Kirsten made a few morecalls, followed by more statements that she didnt exist.Kirsten was exasperated, and one clerk suggested, Per-haps you were adopted. This is one good possibility. At first Kirsten was defiant and couldntfathom that idea, but as days passed by and then weeks,Kirsten called her parents. She related her problemsand asked them, You are my parents, right? I am yourdaughter, arent I? Why, yes you are our daughter, affirmed her

other. Absolutely. Both her father and mother were sopositive and reassuring. More days went by and Kirstenhad a rollercoaster of emotions. She needed to know for

sure. She called New York again, asking for informationon children adopted in the 1960s. Those records weresealed. But after repeated calls, and several pleadings,one office worker gave her the information she wouldneed. There was a baby born on her date, and there was anadoption. Nothing else could be disclosed. Kirsten endedthat phone call in shock, but later she had a firm resolve.She must know for sure. She hired a private detective.The detective was experienced and resourceful. Aftersome sleuthing, he called Kirsten and reported his find-ings. Your natural mother was Helen ....and she gaveyou birth at (giving her the name of the hospital, time ofbirth, and other vital statistics). Your mother gave birth,you were adopted by (her parents who never divulgedthis secret), and your mother vanished. Right now there is

no other information. Kirsten was stunned. She was 42years old and she had discovered that she was an adoptedbaby, that her real mother gave her birth and signed legalpapers for her daughter to be adopted. She asked thedetective to find her real mother. A few weeks later hecalled with another report. Her mother still couldnt belocated, but Kirsten had two brothers and a sister. Hegave her their names and addresses. This was a gift from God, said Kirsten. I still

didnt know much about my mother, but I learned that Ihave siblings. This was such a blessing to know. Pleasefind out anything you can about my mother, Kirsten saidto the detective. This time he traced her mothers historyall the way back to her birth. In the meantime, Kirstenwas contacting her siblings, one of whom actually livedfairly close to her. Plans were made for everyone to get together,and Kirsten was experiencing such joy. Truly, all thesethings were wonderful gifts from God, she said. Kirstenwas so deliriously happy to have a reunion with her broth-ers and sister. She was in total ecstasy. Nothing could begreater. She was experiencing

40 Years Ago...

Minipulling could well be considered the fastestgrowing sport in the Review Area. Just a few months ago there were no miniaturetractors used in pulling contest in the area. Now there aredozens.

Kenny Sanders, Dayton, was one of the first inthis area to get involved but even he didnt get a machinebuilt until November. Sanders said he is running at leastonce a week now. Though the sport is just over three years oldSanders said he first heard about it on a television newsfeature about a year ago. A few days later he saw his firstrun of the 1/16 scale tractor models with .051 cubic inchmodel airplane engines in Boone. Since then Sanders has been tracing informa-tion on the minipulls and spreading the word on his newhobby. Builders of the minipullers generally start withan ERTL manufactured toy carrying their favorite colors. Metal is carved away to make room for the en-gine jack shaft and gears. New axles replace the old and

builders add wider tires that have been shaved to nearslicks. The key to success according to Jim Crabb,Colo. a successful puller who has found his way to asmany as seven pulls in nine day is combining the properwight distribution, fuel, gears and countless other ingre-dients Luck is also very important. Engines can be-come very fickle and the unexpected is to be expected. Crabb joined an informal gathering of area mini-pullers at Don Campbells basement last week to discusshis art. Campbell, from Dayton had a basement full ofsmoke and high pitched noise as are novices from Paton,Gowrie, Dayton, Farnhamville and Fort Dodge joinedhim. The puller often use a single stock tractor and

add weights to enter them in three, four and five poundclasses. Crabb was the winner in the last two classes andhad the sole hot rod traitor at Campbells but even the prowas smitten with misfortune (slipping gears) in the threepound class. Sanders won that one. Sanders entered his first competition outside ofthe neighborhood on Sunday, Jan. 11 and surprise him-self with third place among 53 tractors in the five poundclass at a pull in Marshalltown. The tractors attempt to run the length of a tabletop pulling a skid with moving wight. The tractors pull upto 10 times their own weight and successful runs go overa dozen fee. Sanders and others in the area think there will bea lot more pulling going on in the future in this year round

sport. A lot more people echoing Crabbs thoughts ashe saw his first pull. Thats for Me. Mr. and Mrs. Clair Reynolds, John and Jane,honored his father John T. Reynolds on his 81st birth-day at their home Sunday, Jan. 11, Mr. Reynolds enjoyedvisiting with family members and friends on this specialoccasion, receiving many cards and remembrances of theday. Mrs. Paul Chingren returned home Sunday af-ter visiting in Chicago with her niece. Joanne Henderson,and with her sister, Mrs. L H Henderson, from Washing-ton D. C. Sunday Evening Mr. and Mrs. Paul Chin-grenand Paula visited in the home of Mr. and Mrs. BillWilliams and family of Boone.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Sneellof McCullsburgwere Sunday dinner guest in the Glenn Toyne home. Guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Ott Sat-urday evening were Mr. and Mrs. Jim Stewart. Shawnand Sean of Lehigh and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Vest and Mr.and Mrs. Dean Jordan.

Dayton Review

I have learned that unlike a money bank yousometimes have to make withdrawals from your memorybank in order to deposit more information. Please bearwith me while I make a few withdrawal transactions.

I am not sure what triggered a memory of thisone. Is there anyone in my era who remembers back tograde school days the music teacher having one of thosegadgets that had a wooden handle with a metal frame?That metal frame branched off into five holders intoeach of which a chalk stick was placed. With this deviceshe (always a she in my day) could draw a nearly per-fect music staff. She then proceeded to do just that, show-ing us where each note, a,b,c,d belonged. She showed usthe keys by placing the sharps and flats on the propernote lines. She showed us various notes and their countand the time of the song was indicated by numbers i.e.3/4 meant there were three counts to each measure andeach quarter note got one count. This was the popularwaltz beat. Now I suppose the teacher just goes to thecomputer, i-pad, smart phone to get her five lines and all

the symbols all the teaching tools. Did you gals have any Bakelite jewelry? It wasa heavy duty form of plastic and you could go to Wool-worths and find a large jewelry section with all kindsof them depicting all sorts of shapes and objects. Therewere more expensive versions which now sell at an-tique stores and auction houses for quite a few $$$. Oh,if we could only have known and taken better care of ourcollections. I imagine my mom may have tossed the onesI had thinking they would always be plastic junk.It doesnt seem that long ago that we had colored toiletpaper. I had my bathroom color coordinated so I coulduse the pink ones. Fancy, eh? If you couldnt get one tomatch, just get a few accent pieces of bath linens soyou could use a particular color. And while we are still inthe bathroom, did you ever have Soap on a Rope? Thatsexactly what it was. It would hang over your showerwhen not in use and when using it could go around yourneck for easy access during your shower. I didnt haveone. It was rather a harsh product if my memory servesbe correctly and more of it washed away from just havingit hanging on the shower or around your neck than wasused.How about those animal crackers in boxes that wereprinted to look like a circus wagon? They had a flimsystring on them for carrying and were only 5 cents. Much

Random thoughts from my memory bank...

better (so it was thought) for a child than candy. I neverand still dont care for animal crackers. I know theycome in a number of different packaging devices nowbut do they still have the little circus wagon boxes? I

cant imagine anyone paying the price these days unlessinflation hasnt hit them like the nickel candy bar. Whilewe are on that, I remember the nickel box of CrackerJack with the little sailor boy on the front. I wasnt crazyabout Cracker Jack (lots of better caramel corn around)but it was fun to see what junky prize was at the bot-tom. I think there is still Cracker Jack but not in that boxwith a prize and certainly not for a nickel. Today there are all kinds of fancy, make lifeeasier, kitchen gadgets. Some are capable of doing mar-velous things but are also quite pricey so unless one hasmoney to burn or is deeply into the culinary arts I doubtmany of us have those state of the art machines. Ourmothers, and even we, had the old fashioned egg beatersthat you turned or cranked by hand and then you did therest of the cake and dough mixing in the big bowl with

your wooden spoon. My Mom, however, had an up-grade on that egg beater. It came as a fairly large deepbowl with a handle and a pouring spout. The beater itselfwas attached to a cover that fit snugly over the bowl soa cook could avoid splatters that sometimes happenedduring the beating process and the result could be pouredout of the bowl easier too. It was great for whippingcream. Does anyone actually do that whip REALcream anymore or are we all a little more aware, thoughthat delicious, cholesterol ridden delicacy tastes so good,it is not that good for us? Besides, it is simpler to pick upa carton of Cool Whip or a version thereof and you canget the fat free or reduced calorie ones that taste goodtoo. Now I am going back to my babyhood and thatof my children How many remember the potty chair?It, like the high chair, had a tray on it on which you couldplace objects to keep the occupant entertained whilewaiting for him/her to do what that training chair wasfor. Well, I think they worked. Now, I suppose there areother methods and devices but I dont have to be con-cerned about that. Thats the parents (who happen to bemy grandchildren) job. With that, I hope I have cleanedout some space to add some new memories and get mybank in better order.

It was Thursday, Dec. 17 when the DaytonDreamers Senior Club members met at the CommunityCenter for their Christmas meeting.

However, it did not seem comprehensible thatthey had not received any measurable snow yet as ex-pected. Officially, the first day of winter was the 21stand Christmas was just around the corner. The song ImDreaming of a White Christmas reverberated in theirheads. Eighteen members and one guest gathered at theCommunity Center anticipating an enjoyable time.

They were greeted with the aroma of hot soup.After the table grace was sung, they had a dinner ofhome-made chicken noodle soup and a borsch (cabbage)soup along with crackers. Biscuits, kringla and a cheese

ball with snack crackers were also on the menu.Each member was asked to bring a dozenChristmas cookies/bars for dessert. Whatever was leftover would be taken to the residents at the GrandviewHealth Center. The tables were decorated with an array of min-iature snowmen, angels and creches. On the serving table,a tall beautifully dressed angel in shimmering gold stoodon a golden cloth. It gave an atmosphere of Christmas.During dinner, the program director, Diane Esperson,read some Christmas stories and jokes which were en-

joyed by all.As they entered the Center, they each were giv-

en a Lottery ticket but unfortunately, there were only afew winners. President Bonnie Reck began the business meet-

ing by leading us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance tothe Flag. Then she introduced our guest, Janice Dodson,and welcomed her to our Club.

Secy. Alice Johnson then read the minutes ofthe November meeting. A motion was made and sec-onded to accept the minutes as read. Motion passed. Thetreasurers report was read. Motion was made and sec-onded for the report to be accepted. Motion passed.

The correspondence received was a Thank You

The December birthdays were acknowledged:Mary King celebrated her birthday on the 1st; HaroldRentschler on the 4th; Harlan Adams on the 14th; BonnieReck on the 21st, and Barb May on the 30th. After a brief discussion, a motion was madeand seconded that the President become a member of theDayton Community Club to represent our organization.Motion passed. The menu for our next meeting on January 21stwas planned. We will have Maid Rites, cole slaw, buns,baked beans, pickles, and brownies and lemon squaresfor dessert.

President Reck introduced Mariann Phillipsfrom Harcourt who presented an interesting program.

She is the owner of the K.M. Creations and doescustom work hand-painting gear such as gun stocks, guncases, bow cases, ammo cases and the like.

On two tables, she displayed many examplesof her art work, a variety of glassware, and many otheritems which she had artistically and meticulously paintedby hand.

She has displayed her artwork at many shows,etc. in the area. We all enjoyed her unique display. Since there was no more business to conduct,the meeting was adjourned.

eier and her family lived in Dayton and Burnside, Iowagrowing up. While living in Dayton Homeiers familyworked on a farm four and a half miles northwest of Day-ton. Because the Homeiers did not have a combinethey picked the corn with a wagon and horses. In thefourth grade Homeier moved to Burnside until she wasin seventh grade and moved back to Dayton in the eighthgrade. During recess she would play dodge ball, soft-ball, jump rope and Fox and Geese. Homeier and her sis-ter Sarah also pretended they were WPA workers, whichwas the Works Progression Administration that helped

employ Americans during the great depression. Schoolchildren would bring cups for hot meals.

I can remember having four cups of mashedpotatoes once, Homeier said.

Homeier also remembers one classmate havinga watch, which was uncommon for students during thedepression. During the depression, none of us had these,but she had a Mickey Mouse watch. That was really un-usual, Homeier said. She said that her father kept it foryears by using kerosene. She had a makeshift teeter-totter that was madeout of a sawhorse and ladder on her family farm.

While taking classes at Capital City CommercialCollege Homeier worked as a waitress at Bishop Buffetin downtown Des Moines. She made 35 cents an hour andwas not allowed receive tips. They did not want you to be tipped. After Idbeen there for awhile they gave me a room and then I tookcare of all the people, Homeier said.

By Coach Miller The Jags returned to the mat Thursday, Janu-ary 7th, traveling to Stuart to tangle with the Wildcats

of West Central Valley. In a close dual that came downto one point, the Jags lost 40-39. Winning matches wereColedon Bethel, Colton Klingson, Sam Hemmestad,Evan McCrady, Trey Lawrence, Zeke Miller, and Clay-ton McFarland. Xavier Nichols also recorded a win in JVaction, pinning his opponent in the third period.

It was good to get back on the mat to see somedifferent competition and see where we need to improveon with a young team. The boys wrestled pretty flat anddidnt win scrambles. It hurt us team wise to not have our160 pounder Kyler Jondle in the lineup as we had to for-feit giving up six points but on the flipside we welcomedFreshman Clayton McFarland and Sam Hemmestad inthe line-up for the first time this season.St. Eds Duals After working out some kinks Friday night in

the practice room, the Jags were right back at it Saturdaycompeting in the St. Edmond duals on Saturday, January9th. After a full day of wrestling, competing in five dualsthe Jaguars walked out the Gael gym in third place going3-2 for the day. In the first dual of the morning the Jagsopened with eventual team champion Roland-Story anddropped the dual 55-15. In the second dual, the Jags losta tough battle to Britt, West Hancock 47-33 putting theJags at 0-2 for the day. After the lunch break the Jagsnotched a win by edging the home team 36-30. The winover the Gaels got the ball rolling and in the fourth dualthe boys wrestled hard beating Clarke of Osceola, 42-26and in the fifth dual the boys won another close one bydefeating AGWSR 36-32 finishing in third place.

Overall, the boys wrestled really well. Wewere tickled to finish in third place. We definitely have

to continue working on positioning as our young guysare making mistakes with their head down and defendingshots. At this point of the season fixing our mistakes andconditioning is our focus, getting ready for our confer-ence tournament next weekend and also Sectionals andDistricts.

There were some key matches in the Jaguarsthree wins starting with Freshman 152 lbs. Ivan Hudson.Ivan was down by two points with only three seconds leftin regulation when he scored a quick takedown takingthe match into overtime eventually scoring the winningtakedown. His win sealed the team victory for the Jags,otherwise the team score would have been tied. In thefourth dual, Clarke moved their 195 pounder up againstClayton Taylor but Clayton put the clamps on him pin-ning him in the first period. In the final dual Kaelan won a

wild 18-17 match against a tough AGWSR opponent whoajored him earlier in the season sealing the team win.Overall, Trey Lawrence and Kaelan Lundberg

John-son, Mayor; George F. tucker, Recorder; Levi Emerson,Councilman; Isaac Hyatt, Councilman; Charles Rodine,Councilman; M.H. Greene, Councilman; George Gilder,Commensal; Robert Norton, Councilman; Robert Norton,Councilman; R.W. Biggs, Marshall. In March 1889 the first Volunteer Fire Depart-ment was formed by a group of businessmen. A.D. Brunerwas elected Fire Chief, and R.H. Miller, Engineer. thepipemen were C.A. Deo and R.A. Swanson. Firday night,April 15, 1889 was designed as Formans Night with agrand ball and banquet at the Good Templars Hall with

supper from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Admission to the hall was 25cents; ball and banquet $1.00.Invitations were sent Dayton, Stanhope and

Webster City. The C&NW had there fast train passingthrough here at 4:30 a.m. stop, and pick up passengers forDayton who had come to the ball. The agents at Daytonand Stanhope had been instructed to sell round tickets the15th for 1 1/3 fare.

The proceeds of the ball and supper was $52.99.In June 1898, the town council held a special meeting, andmade arrangements for the purchase of fire equipment. Theordered a Champion chemical engine with a capacity of 55gallons, which was the best machine on the market at thattime. The price was $600.00 and was paid in three install-ments, the first one on delivery, and the other two in oneyear and two years at 6% interests.

The town council bought a lot and buildingon Shakespeare Avenue, owned by Lewis Peterson for$350.00, and repaired the building to be used for a councilroom and to house the fire engine. The firemen held an icecream social at the new building to raise money for equip-ment. By November a new fire bell had been acquired, andwas placed in a tower erected on the new city hall The bellweighted 600 lbs, and cost $80.00. The money was raised to pay for it by subscrip-tions from the citizens,a and was solicited by the firemen.Prior to buying this building the council meetings had beenheld in G.A.. Andersons lumber office, and the town elec-tions in Johnsons Opera House. According to the town treasurers report in 1902,it took less than $700.00 to conduct the affairs of the townfor a full year. Included in the disbursements was rent foran office used for council meetings, and also for room to

The Town Treasurers Report for 1902 datedApril 1, 1902 read as follows: Cash on hand $12.95, Re-ceived by taxes $577.53, Fines and licenses $85.25, PollTax $3.08, Sale of town ordinances $4.50, This came toa total of $638.31. This was recorded by the Treasurer,Agustus Anderson. The tax levy in 1903 was 10 mills corporationtax, and 4 mills road tax. There had been some discussionin the late 1890s about piping water from Sulphur Springsto town, but the idea was given up later, and in 1903 thecouncil was drilling a new well with a depth of 380 feetbefore they found enough water, but by the next year they

found it was not deep enough so another well was drilled,this time going down 437 feet. Prior to this there had beentwo shallow wells with hand pumps, one in front of thehardware store, and one at the north and main street nearthe present Passmore Store. In 1907 water mains werelaid along main street, and a steel tank with a capacity of13,650 gallons of water installed. An attempt was made todynamite the water works in October the same year.l Fivesticks of dynamite were placed over the town well, but a

defective fuse saved the well from any damage. A rewardof $300.00 was offered by Mayor Peter Cannon to appre-hend the guilty party, but was never found A new brick building was later erected over thewater works, and covered the entire plant, consisting of thelarge tank and well and the pressure tank, and other utili-ties. In 1909 a curfew was enforced, and all the youngstersunder 16 had to be off the streets by 9 :00 p.m. The bitteropposition to the proposed sewer by the town council wasthe means of placing two tickets on the ballot in the townelection in 1914, and the anti-sewerites were the win-ners. The results from the citizens Ticket were: Mayor -C.G. Peterson - 71, Council - C.A. Rodine - 72, Sanford

Johnson - 71, Edward Peterson - 81, Sam Lundell - 74, andP.A. Long = 64. The results from the Peoples Ticket were Mayor -J.T. Drug - 94, Council - Peter Bergman - 83, S.G. Carlson- 95, J. Otto Engstrom - 90, E.M. Milburn - 90, and SamSwedlund - 95. The water main extension proposition voted onwas favored by the majority of the voters. The mains wereextended and a new water boiler installed at the pumpingstation was a capacity of 35,000. In 1916 there was anotherhot contest over town election, and all new council waselected with the following members: Nels Sandell- Mayor,P.A. Swanson - Treasurer, A.R. Samuelson - Assessor,Edward Peterson - council, Sanford Johnson = council,John Hubner - Council, C.A. Rodine - Council, C.G. Pe-terson - council. At a special election held July 28, 1916 the in-corporate limits of Stratford was extended to 1 1/4 by 11/2 miles. The council was also authorized to appoint aPark Board. Also, The Council was advertising for bidsto construct curb and gutter for part of the town,bids tothe received by October 16. The contract was let to H.J.Cathroe. An ordinance was passed of December 5, 19126,by the Council creating a sanitary sewer district, and onJanuary 11, 1917, they were advertising for sealed bids forthe construction of a sanitary sewer and disposal plant.
