Our house was built in 1910 by Hubert and Catherine Margaret Slobe. The Slobe family moved to Pella in 1847 and were well known for their merchandis-ing business, Slobe Brother’s and Company, which oper-ated in Pella from 1853-1944. In 1964 Claire and Dorothy Gifford purchased the home and owned it until 2010 when we purchased it. As the third owners of this home we moved in April of 2010. The house was in move in condition and although it needed several updates it was very much maintained in its original condition. We fell in love with the house the moment we walked in the door. We loved the large front rooms, the four bedrooms with large walk in closets, and the location. Our home contains original woodwork in all the

rooms and six pocket doors. It also contains original oak colonnades and a large built in buffet with leaded glass doors. The main floor contains a living room, Formal dining room, bedroom, ¾ bath, kitchen and an entry/laun-dry room. There is an original oak built in pass through cupboard between the laundry room and the kitchen. An open stairway with original oak railing takes you to the second floor. The second floor contains three bedrooms, one bathroom with original claw foot tub and also two bonus closets. There is a door in the upstairs hall that opens to a stairway which leads into the currently unused attic space. The exterior of the home has three covered porches. One spanning the width of the home on the

Beverly Jondle, who owned flower shop,in city council electionTuesday, Dec. 15 electionfor Dayton City Council. . . Beverly Jondle and Kendra Breitsprecher are the two candidates for the Dayton City Council seat that was vacated by Mark Knudson. Knudson had to resign be-cause of health reasons. There was a petition filed for a special city council election after Breitsprecher was appointed to the council. Both candidates filed before the Friday, Nov. 20 deadline for nomination papers. Jondle is the former owner of Beverly Ann’s Floral Meadows, a flower shop in Dayton which was on Skillet Avenue in downtown Dayton. Beverly enjoyed special promotions, primarily when it involved children and families. One year she dressed as the Easter Bunny for an Easter promotion. This year Beverly headed the Festival of Lights campaign in Dayton. “The Festival of Lights wasn’t held last year and I missed this great celebration,” said Beverly. “Other people did too. So I decided to lead this celebration this year. “ Beverly has been helped by her daughter Katara and her sister Patsy who moved to Dayton earlier this year. A few weeks ago there was extensive vandal-ism on the Festival of Lights. Beverly maintained her de-termination to have a successful light display despite the vandalism. Beverly was interviewed on KCCI television. She represented the city of Dayton well on live televi-sion, stating confidently that she would keep working and organizing the Festival of Lights in Dayton despite the vandalism. On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 22, Beverly was assisted by family members and many others and the Festival of Lights was nearly completed with just a few remaining displays to be erected.

Seeing the entire messageon wonderful Thanksgiving Day. . .

Thanksgiving will be celebrated this week in our nation. The national holiday was first celebrated in Plymouth, MA, by the Pilgrims and it has endured through the centuries. It is a day that we are thankful for the good har-vest, and indeed it was a great harvest in Iowa this year. It is also a day for thanking God for his many blessings. We can thank God for our families, our friends, our wonderful way of life here in Iowa. And it is indeed a blessing and privilege to live in the greatest country in the world. To be sure, our nation faces conflicts and chal-lenges in many areas of the world. We have experienced pain and suffering in our own country. But as Christians we also recognize that some of these problems are op-portunities. We are always being tested through many problems and tribulations, but we must always remember that these continual problems help us grow spiritually. These are some tragic happenings that defy un-derstanding. We don’t understand, but God understands and that’s all that matters. We put our trust in God. Let’s share our joy at Thanksgiving with our

families, our friends, and with others who may not be as fortunate. Let’s reach out and share the great blessings of Thanksgiving. Sometimes as Christians and as ordinary citi-zens we misinterpret what has happened. We don’t see the whole picture. And sometimes we are so quick to make assumptions because of our fears. In 1815 a mes-sage was communicated to England that said: Welling-ton defeated. There was immediate panic amongst the citizenry, especially amongst the aristocracy who feared invasion. But this was a three word message and people had only received the first two words. The full message was this: Wellington defeated Napoleon. Napoleon, who had previously conquered much of Europe, was defeated at Waterloo, Belgium, by the

English Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley in June of 1815. The history of Europe and our world was changed in a mighty way. In our own Christian spheres we can be lead-ers and make a difference. The world may be terrified about horrific events, but we Believe and therefore we feel a confident peace because our trust is in God who is in control. We ask God for understanding and we look for opportunities to serve.

“Come ye thankful people come. Raise the song of harvest-home. All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin”. From radio and TV reports I have been hearing that all or most of Iowa’s crops have been har-vested and safely gathered in and, they are quite bounti-ful. We had “summer” so long this year it is hard to believe we soon could be, as was said in the old days, “chipping the ice out of the stock tank” and see-ing the white stuff flying around any day. It’s Iowa so who knows? What I can’t seem to catch up with is that Thanksgiving is upon us. Oh, I have seen all the fall color items in the stores and the ads for hams and turkeys and the “trimmin’s” for Thanksgiving dinner but marketing is always “hyped” up way ahead of most holidays and then suddenly the day is here and still we aren’t always prepared. In my youth when all our families were intact and aunts, uncles and cousins were not that far away (both sides of my family) we always had Thanksgiving somewhere with someone and there was food, food, food. Mom kept busy a few days before doing her part whether it was to be at our house or another’s. If we were go-ing away – to another town – it was easy to travel things like pumpkin and mince meat pies, crescent rolls and rye bread and an easily transported or put together there side dish. After all, we wanted to be sure there was enough for the big meal as well as “snack” stuff for an hour or so later. That was the day we never let our bellies get much beyond the stuffed feeling but what a good feeling – at the time anyway. As families change, grow up, move away, get their own, things change. After I had a large family and

Gathered in...

worked outside the home I mostly looked forward to four days away from the job but was given lit-tle time to relax. As long as parents still remained with us we had to maintain a tradition of that large meal that took most of the women’s days before and during just preparing, serving and clean up. Men still seemed to have the privilege of watching “the game” or sitting off in a far from the kitchen room and gabbing or snoozing. Once I was single again and a number of in-laws had moved to warmer climates, I was only obli-gated to “one side of the family” but I still longed for those four free days. Oh, I wanted to do it for family and I do love all that good food but still --- So, while Mom was with us we did it and then one of us transported Dad to Des Moines to share with us. After he became a nurs-ing home patient one of my days to visit him was Wednesday so I continued that and then if I was asked and so chose, would share Thanksgiving with one of my children who now had their own families and in-laws. Now, I usually have “celebrated” a number of ways with several people preceding the holiday. If a child invites me and I am so inclined I may stop in for a short time. They, too, are glad to have a day

or two off. Our philosophy, “Thanksgiving should be ev-ery day and shared every day”.So, however you plan to spend your Thanksgiving holi-day or weekend, I hope you enjoy it and whomever you are sharing it with. Be gathered in. These are precious moments, those sharing moments so each time we do it, give thanks.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ONE AND ALL!

The couple established their home and engaged in farming northwest of Dayton for over 60 years. Lois was a stay at home mom for many years.

She enjoyed reading, listening to Christian radio, watching sports on T.V. and visiting with friends and family. Years ago, her greatest joy was in helping others by delivering a casse-role, baking rye bread, sending cards and letters, or mak-ing a phone call. She was a wonderful role model for all. She had many others call her “grandma”, claiming her as a profound, significant influence in their lives. She was so interested in the lives of others, always encouraging those around her to find Jesus Christ for a born again experience. She was bold in her faith and steady in her commitment to Christ. She will be missed by very many people.

enjoy the outdoors.”Located by the patio near Pocket Door Gifts at the Simpson Health Cen-ter, Jolin’s Terrace offers something for everyone, including: Wheelchair-accessible ga-zeboPergolaRaised planters for vege-table and flower gardeningFire pit for roasting marsh-mallowsThree-hole putting greenButterfly gardenWater fountainWalking bridgePlayground and benches on the northeast corner of the Health Center Thanks to its visible, cen-tral location, Jolin’s Ter-race provides picturesque views that can be enjoyed from many windows on campus. “We’re pleased this appealing destination can be used by the entire campus of Friendship Ha-ven, as well as friends and families,” Jennifer said. Making therapy fun While Jolin’s Terrace of-fers a delightful place to take a stroll, it also allows the Catalyst Therapy team to enhance their current therapy treatments. Jolin’s Terrace includes

steps, curves, curbs, slopes, inclines, and a bridge, along with walkways of grass, brick, asphalt, pea rock, and stone pavers to help people improve their balance, endur-ance and visual perception skills. In addition, the potting station with potting bins at wheelchair height and stand-ing height help people increase their strength and dexter-ity while decreasing anxiety, thanks to the tranquil set-ting. “Jolin’s Terrace connects people to their passions,” Jennifer said.These therapy options expand Catalyst’s premier therapy resources, which include a fully-equipped gym within the Health Center. All these resources help make therapy activities so enjoyable that they don’t seem like work.“Jolin’s Terrace is an innovative, extraordinary space,” Jennifer said. “It shows how we dream big here and make these dreams a reality, thanks to the generosity of local donors who believe in our vision of people living full lives with faith, passion, and purpose.”

Mark your calendar for Sunday, December 13 at 4:30 pm. The 2nd Annual Progressive Community Christmas Program will begin at the Stratford Lutheran Church. Come inside the Fellowship Hall to meet Mary, Elizabeth, Joseph, and the angel-Gabriel, and take a new look at the “Announcement” of this amazing event we observe as Christmas. As they finish, the shepherds will be out in the field, and we will journey with them to Bethlehem (Calvary United Methodist Church). Meet the Innkeeper and discover how Joseph and Mary ended up in a stable for the birth of baby Jesus, the King of Kings. Music, the traveling shepherds, and other actors will tell the story of “The Greatest Wonder.”

From there everyone will move on to the First Baptist Church (Hwy 175 E) to become acquainted with the Wise men from afar, their gifts for Jesus, and “The Affirmation.” Music, costuming, multigenerational involve-ment, and observer participation is planned. Feel free to walk or ride, and observe from your car. Again, mark your calendar for December 13, and bring your family and friends for a new look at the Christmas story. Coffee, punch, and cookies, with time for fellowship will follow. This is a free celebration of God’s Special Gift to each of us.

The earliest published material which is in exis-tence concerning the town of Gowrie comes to us by way of reprinting the Gowrie News which was recopied from the “Gowrie Bulletin” of June 18, 1880. This was the first paper ever published in Gowrie, J. S. Hockert, Editor. It follows: The beautiful village of Gowrie is situated, geo-graphically, in the south-west township of Webster Coun-ty, on the line of the Des Moines and Fort Dodge railroad, 20 miles south of Fort Dodge, the county seat. Gowrie township was organized October 19, 1871 and embraces 86 North of range 30 west. The enterprising village of Gowrie dates back to the year 1870. The first building or rather shanty, was constructed by Lynd & Stephens in the spring of 1870 and was situated at that time on the prairie, or at the present between Mrs. Seashore and Job C. Williams’ residence (about 200 ft. south of the latter date water tower). The first settler in the township outside the vil-lage of Gowrie, was John Stenholm who lived down near Lena. But there were no settlers in the township until after the Des Moines and Fort Dodge R. R. was built, and the village of Gowrie was established. Gowrie is built upon a high, rolling prairie, over-looking the surrounding country for miles in every direc-tion. It was laid out in the year 1871 by Edward A. Lynd, of Galva, Illinois, the year following the construction of the D.M. & Ft. D. R. R. Gowrie, by name is Scotch and was named by a stockholder of this railroad after his native city in Scot-land. The first settlers were Messrs. Stephens, Lynd, Por-ter, Gracy, Blomgren and Madden, and they have all evi-denced great interest in the advancement and prosperity of their town. The first school was taught in the summer of 1871 by Mrs. Alice Webster, who taught a class of six pu-pils; but at the present time we have a fine two story edi-fice, embracing a daily attendance of about eighty pupils under the direction of Prof. L. B. Chandler, Principal and Miss Carrie Coffin, primary teacher. The first sermon preached in Gowrie was deliv-ered by the Rev. S. Bascomb in the depot to a congregation of sixteen. The text was “Who despiseth the day of small things?” In the fall of 1871, Mr. Lynd built a very large and commodious store and also erected a fine two story dwell-ing just opposite his store. Mr. Lynd continued this busi-ness for some time, then disposed of his store and stock to Mr. G. W. Stephens, who carried it on for a length of time.

In 1874 he in turn disposed of his business to Lindhold, Ol-son & Swanson, who continued until 1878 when they sold it out to the present proprietor, Mr. A.R. Daughenbaugh. The spring of 1870 will be memorable to those who lived here as one of the severest snow storms they ever witnessed. Snow commence to rage at 4 p.m. on March 17th and continued through Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday until it finally subsided. In this storm there were two persons frozen to death, one of them being Jo-seph Gilbert and the other being an employee of the rail-road company. The company put out a car down by the water tank, which was supposed to be a repair car. During the storm they had a clothes line stretched from the car to the coal pile so as to guide them as they carried in their fuel. But on going out into the storm, the supposition is, That his hat blew off and he, not thinking, tried to retrieve it and thereby wandered off on the prairie until he was fro-zen to death. The first grain house was built in 1870 by Mr. Lynd who then bought grain of a few scattered farmers. A Mr. Perkins, in the fall of 1871, built the first hotel and upon completion, however, it was sold to Major Birming-ham for a dwelling. He soon after sold it to Job C. Wil-liams who fixed it up and started a hotel. Gowrie, since it’s settlement, has experienced a gradual and justified growth, until now, in its eight year, it has a population of about 400. At the time of the comple-tion of the D.M. & Ft. D. R. R. to Gowrie, the people and land speculators thought that land would be worth some-thing, and they had a “soft Snap”. Land previous to the completion of this road was worth from $3 to $5 per acre, and immediately after its completion the price raised to $10 to $15 per acre, The advance in price, of course, drove many of the immigrants further west to Kansas and Ne-braska where land could be had at a nominal price. Since then land has dropped in value, but the opportunities for securing these cheap and good lands are diminishing. From this early beginning as reported in this early day newspaper, the town of Gowrie and its surrounding community has continued a rather steady march of prog-ress and is entering its second century with the hope that it will continue to be a good place to live. For the most part the citizenry consists of business and service people which are employed within the community, farmers, and retired farmers and an increasing number of persons who are earning their livelihood in larger nearby towns. All of these, together with their families, will determine what this community will be in the future.

Gowrie is a Scotch name, first church service in depot, first grain house in 1870First school instruction in 1871. . .

The first snowfall of the year occurred Friday and Southeast Valley Schools closed early, shortly after-noon. The Iowa Department of Transportation issued , a no travel advisory for central Iowa and especially north-west Iowa. Snow started about 11 a.m. and continued through the afternoon and well into the evening. The Dayton, Lehigh, Harcourt area had between five and seven inches of snow when it was all over. For-tunately, winds were not strong and there was not much drifting. Snow crews were out early Saturday morning clearing town, county and state roads. As of Friday evening, northwest Iowa had been hit hardest, with the highest reported snow total at 14.5 inches in Hawarden, according to the weather service. Palo Alto County saw reported snow totals ranging from 7 to 13.5 inches. The majority of the state was under a winter storm warning, from 10 a.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday. State troopers in north and west Iowa were see-ing many cars in ditches, specifically near Mason City and Council Bluffs, said Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Nathan Ludwig. On Interstate 80, near the Casey exit, a semi struck a snowplow, Ludwig said. No one was injured. In Dallas County, law enforcement rescued a man from a creek after his vehicle veered off of I-80 at about 5 p.m., Ludwig said. The man had lost control of his vehicle due to the road conditions. He sustained minor injuries. As of 10 p.m. Friday, almost all major roads in Iowa were reportedly completely covered or at least part-ly covered in snow, according to the DOT. Some roads near the Missouri border were less affected and classified as “seasonal” conditions.Local, area schoolclosings announced In central Iowa, over a dozen school districts were closing early and canceling evening activities in light of the storm.

At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2.0 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your public water system, DAYTON MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY, has a fluoride concentration of 2.37 mg/l. Dental fluorosis in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water containing more than 4.0 mg/l of fluoride (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain more than 4.0 mg/l of fluoride, but we’re required to notify you when we discover that the fluoride levels in your drinking water exceed 2.0 mg/l because of the cosmetic dental problem. For more information, please call Dayton Municipal Water Supply at 547-2711. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. In Iowa, home water treatment units are regulated under 641-Chapter 14, with the water treatment unit registration program administered by the Iowa Department of Public Health’s environmental health division. In addition, you may call the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) International, at 1-877-867-3435. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

front, another smaller porch off the back entry, and a third on the second floor off of the master bedroom. Since moving into the home we have repainted walls in every room with the exception of the two bath-rooms. Our first project was removing the non function-ing kitchenette adjacent to an upstairs bedroom. This room and kitchenette were rented out prior to the Gif-ford’s purchasing the house in 1964. We turned the kitchenette into a large walk-in closet off of the Master bedroom. Our next project was removing carpet, linoleum and underlayment from the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. This exposed the original Fir wood flooring that was then sanded and refin-ished. Our first outdoor project was the addition of a playhouse for the children; complete with a kitchen and hard wood floors. We also built and installed a Little Free Library that was placed near the city sidewalk. The next project was a total makeover of the front yard. This project included removal of all shrubs, a large maple tree and the sidewalk leading to the front porch. New front steps were installed along with a brick paver sidewalk. The yard was graded and seeded. A retaining wall was installed beginning at the front steps wrapping around the south side of the house to the back porch. The skirting around the back porch and half of the front porch has also been improved. We have plans to continue the retaining wall and porch skirting around the North side of the house. Our latest project was the com-plete removal and replacement of the soffit, facia, and shingles. We thoroughly enjoy living in our home. It pro-vides great space and functionality for our family. We have completed many projects in the 5 1/2 years that we have lived in our home. We have many more projects in mind that will allow us to preserve this wonderful home and also allow us to enjoy it for many more years to come. Nick, Libby, Claire, Kate, and Charlie Braafhart

Over one hundred 4-H members and adult vol-unteers were honored for their achievements at the Boone County 4-H Awards Day held Sunday, November 8th at the Community Building on the Boone County Fair-grounds. Awards were presented to recognize youth for growth and achievement in project areas, for outstanding overall 4-H participation, and for communication, citi-zenship and leadership activities. Members of the Boone County 4-H Youth Committee reviewed record books and award nominations, selected 4-H members to receive awards and conducted the awards presentation. Eight Outstanding Graduate 4-H members were introduced by donors of the awards, Bill Zinnel, repre-senting Boone Bank and Trust Co., Amy Landas, rep-resenting US Bank of Boone, and Kurt Phillips, repre-senting the Ag Committee of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

Kenton is currently studying Agribusiness at DMACC. In 2007, the family of Alice M. Flynn estab-lished a scholarship in her honor to be given to a current year high school graduate at a 2 or 4 year school. Mi-chaela Ostendorf of Madrid, who is presently a student at Iowa State University majoring in Biology received the scholarship. Two scholarships were presented to former Boone County 4-H members who are now juniors or se-niors in college. Donors were the Ed and Fran Thompson Memorial and Boone County Farm Bureau.

The George Leonard Memorial award honors two 4-H members who have been active club members and role models for younger members. The 2015 re-cipients were Aaron Swanson of Madrid and Braeden Weyhrich of Boone.

The Recruitment Award goes to the youth that has recruited the most members that were not immediate family. The recipients of the I CARE Awards were Hailey Beckett, Skye Bentson and Nathan Lynch of Boone. The 4-H’er that recruited the most members was McKenya Williams of Boone.
