ReviewVol. 138, No. 42 Wednesday, October 21, 2015 [email protected]

By Tyler Anderson

On a clear, cool yet windy day east of Dayton,harvest is well underway.The focus for the large, green John Deere com-

bine and tractor right off of Union Avenue is on takingcare of beans.

Manning the combine is Dayton resident KevinLambert.

Every once in a while, his wife Sara would ridethe tractor next to the combine, as Lambert deposits hisload of beans.

This upcoming election season, Lambert willaim to represent Dayton, alongside his farm work. OnNov. 3, Lambert will be on the ballot in the Dayton CityCouncil election. Amidst the incumbents running for re-electionin Mayor Richard Travis and council member Beth

Wickwire, Kevin Lambert is the lone new face. Presentcouncil members Eric Skoglund and Claire Williamsonare not seeking re-election. As of Monday, Oct. 19, thereare two seats open in the Dayton City Council. However, Lambert is hardly considered a new-comer to Dayton.

“I lived in Dayton all of my life and grew up ona farm,” Lambert said, introducing himself as the com-bine swallowed up the many rows of beans. “I’m marriedwith my wife, Sara, and three kids: Joel, Mackenzie and

Alex. We lived in Dayton since 2004, and we farm andgrow crops full time.”

Lambert lived outside of town before 2004, be-fore building a house in Dayton. Even though he liveswithin the city limits, Lambert commutes to his farm fivemiles north of the city. According to Lambert, he had some friends askhim about being a candidate for city council. “I had a lot of people inquire and ask if I mightbe interested in it,” Lambert said. “After my dad passedaway, I had to get my farming stuff done first. I’m now ina comfortable zone, where I feel like I can give it a shot.”

Acquiring interest, Lambert started going to themeetings for the past few months.

What Lambert lacks in experience, but is madeup with a willingness to learn.“I don’t know a whole lot about government stuff, butI’ve been going to the meetings and learning,” Lambert

said. Lambert also said that a few council memberssuggested that running for council would be better ini-tially for Lambert, allowing him to get more familiar withthe motions.

On his mind when getting elected to city coun-cil, Lambert said that he wanted to address the streets ofDayton.

“I think we should have better streets in Day-ton,” Lambert said. “So I want to address what our op-

tions are and what we can do”.“They may be already doing that. They are do-

ing something. I want to look into the bonds and see whatour options are.” Recently, the City of Dayton has made an im-provement to the intersection of 1st Street NW and 3rdAvenue NW near the Dayton Elementary School.

Lambert wants to make sure that more upgradesare on the way. While streets are his main focus, Lambert iskeeping his eyes open to other issues that may spring up.

“I want to look at the city budget wise, and seewhere we need to be,” Lambert said. While the City of Dayton currently has onecouncil seat still open and available for a write-in vote,Lambert has vowed to lend his aid.

“I’m there to help whenever I can,” Lambertsaid. “I think I can bring some value to the table.”

A Horse and Farm Animal Ordinance, alongwith improvements at Cadwell Park and the resignationof council member Mark Knudtson were the main focusof the Dayton City Council meeting on Oct. 14 at DaytonCity Hall.

The meeting moved at a steady pace. The sum of $2,500 was raised during the DaytonMuseum Fundraiser and Chili Lunch, and the turnout wastremendous, according to Kenny Sanders. The museumwill be open during Ladies’ Night Out, which is on Nov.12. Mark Knudtson issued a letter of resignation tothe city council and the motion was made, and accepted.

Council member Eric Skoglund, who represent-

ed the Park and Rec Board, reported that there will bemore top soil and pea gravel coming in.

According to Skoglund, only a few parts areneeded to finish the gazebo.

The new park bench will also be in within thenext few days. Sanders brought up that the school need-ed to submit a building permit, for the expansion on thesoutheast end of Dayton Elementary.

Travis encouraged Sanders to keep the city in-formed. Travis reported that the work is done for theStreet Seal Coat Project, and City Foreman Craig John-son said that it will be ready by this week.

City Attorney Mark Hemmingson understoodthat the council had questions about the ordinance thatneed to be tweaked. Hemmingson examined numerousmunicipal laws and ordinances. Wickwire asked for recommendation to the pas-ture land within city limits. Hemmingson explained thatDayton had a unique situation with the Rodeo and couldbe done on a permit basis, or go into a specific zone fordomesticated animals.

Hemmingson recommended a permit system,and asked the council for direction.

Hemmingson said that it’s a public safety issuethat has come into play. The council concluded that keep-ing a boundary around school property is needed.

Also, Hemmingson said that general standardsare needed, not too wordy and not too specific. Accordingto the attorney, horses can be treated at as an all-terrain

vehicle.Travis asked the council on how to proceed.

Wickwire recommended a little bit of both permits andzones.

This will be a permit zone, while the council caneither accept or deny the permit request. Hemmingson

People talk about Roger at his funeral ceremony. . .

Several people in the Dayton community pre-sented their testimonials Saturday, Oct. 10, at a specialfuneral ceremony for Roger Brown at the Dayton UnitedMethodist Church. Roger was found murdered Sept. 29 at his trailerin west Dayton. People praised Roger from his many fine attri-butes. There were some touching moments.

Karen Swanson, Dayton, promised that wewould all see Roger in heaven. That sentiment was wellreceived. She added, “Roger inspired me. He caredabout me.” Karen stated,”People knew Roger likes coffee.Some people would leave a little money for Roger’s cof-fee and this was much appreciated.” Pastor Kay.Christie, Dayton UM Church, didn’tknow Roger but expressed many fine statements. Roger’s brother Curtis, Oklahoma, blessed thecommunity of Dayton for taking care of his brother for

any decades. “From my heart to yours I pray for manyblessings for this fine community,” he said.

Linda Hansen, Dayton, admonished everyonethat we “can’t judge a book by its cover.” If we had donethat, Roger would not have been part of our world.

“Roger had a good heart,” she said. “He alwayswanted to earn his own way. Roger was content withwhat he had and he enjoyed helping others. And he was

I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalismand a minor in Political Science. We moved to Harcourt because my wife and Ienjoy the quality of life as a small town provide.

My wife and I both attended small publicschools and our hometowns were small and rural based.Knowing your neighbors, their kids and extended fam-ily, and knowing that your kids are growing up in a safeenvironment where everyone looks out for each other ispriceless. Harcourt is a special place and offers a piece ofAmericana that is disappearance across the country. Weneed to preserve what we have and continue to work to-gether to make it even better. I would be new to city government, but I dofeel that my education and interests, which have alwaysincluded government and its mechanics, my 27 years ofnewspaper experience and my 11 years of school boardexperience can be an asset to the Harcourt communityshould I receive the privilege of serving as Mayor. I have some major objectives as Mayor. Theseinclude:

Working with and building relationships

with community members to make our community at-tractive to prospective residents and a source of pride forthose living here now and in the future. Continuing to ensure that our town remainsa safe place for our children and all residents. I wouldseek to implement a Neighorhood Watch program andincrease the vigilance that is already present. Working with our city council and city clerk to identify properties that are not meeting the city’s visionfor what and attractive, vibrant community looks like and

working with those residents on solutions that will getthem in step with our community goals.

Maintaining and enhancing our city parks andentry points into town. Identifying and applying for grants that wouldbenefit our community. Working with the Southeast Valley SchoolDistrict to ensure that softball continues to be played inHarcourt.

I fought for this as a school board member andfeel that bringing our players and fans along with oppos-ing teams and fans provides an opportunity for our smalltown to shine and show what a great place Harcourt isand can be.

a many of faith.” Chuck Danielson recalled that Roger liked tobuild birdhouses. “Roger used a screwdriver, saw andhammer and he did a fine job with what he had,” saidChuck. “Roger was an innovative person and he is heav-en-bound today,” Chuck proclaimed. Marilyn Anderson, Dayton, noted that Rogerwas very smart. Roger worked at the Anderson home ongrain bins and other things some years ago.

“Many years ago we called him RiverbottomRoger because he lived on the river bottom with RobertHaub for some time,” Marilyn noted. “Roger was very polite and he could fig-ure things out. He was very respectful and he said hisprayers,” she recalled. Dee Richardson, speaking from his electricallyportable chair, said Roger “was a good friend who en-joyed animals.” Said Dee, “Roger took care of me and he wasalways there to help.” Said one friend, “I hope his ending was quick.Right now, his ending (death) doesn’t make sense.” Another person said, “Roger was so positive, so

uch fun. Winters were hard for him but he endured.” Roger didn’t have any known enemies and it has

been difficult for many to understand how anyone courthurt and kill this very good person.

It was great to hear several stories by peoplewho wanted to share their experiences with Roger.

I had called my brother Denis on Roger’s death.Denny had met Roger about 10 years ago. And Dennywould always ask me about Roger.

Roger had a certain quality about him that en-deared him to everyone. Roger cared about everyone andeveryone in turn cared about him.

We need more Roger Browns in this world. Hisspirit will always be remembered.

Dayton Review

By Tyler Anderson

On the home stretch of the 2015 campaign,the Southeast Valley football team encountered a major

bump in the road toward hosting a home playoff game. The power running game of the Gaels (4-4)was the story of the game, as the Jaguars (6-2) endured atough 24-6 loss against St. Edmond on Friday evening atDodger Stadium in Fort Dodge.

“As far as this game this is all I really want tosay, we did not play well and we need to forget about it,

ove on and get ready for Clarinda,” Head Coach MikeSwieter said following the loss. “That is all the matters.The quicker we move on, the better. St. Ed’s was the bet-ter team on that night.” The beginning of the game started off as a de-fensive war of attrition, as neither team gaining muchtraction.

At the end of the first quarter, the game remainedat a scoreless deadlock.

With less than eight minutes left in the secondquarter, however, St. Edmond’s Payton Sitzmann brokeout a long 49 yard touchdown run to draw first blood.Following the PAT, the Gaels held a 7-0 lead. Southeast Valley, trailing by a touchdown, re-sorted to passing the football as junior quarterback NolanBrand found senior wide receiver Conner Conrad for a 35yard reception with 6:30 left in the half. This was Con-rad’s lone catch of the night. The Jaguars drove down into the red zone, untilBrand looked to heave the ball to Nolan Johnson in thefar corner of the endzone.

St. Edmond’s Will Woodruff easily identifiedthe play, intercepted the pass and halted the bout of Jag-uar momentum in the first half. The Gaels would later drive down the field on

the power of their running game, and with little time tospare on the game clock, booted a field goal. At the half,Southeast Valley found themselves in a rare position thusfar in the 2015 season, trailing 10-0. Coming back from the break, the Jaguars cameout with a fire, forcing St. Edmond into a three and out.From their own 36, Southeast Valley drove down thefield.

Junior running back Aaron Swieter capped thedrive with a 12 yard touchdown scamper. After a blocked PAT, the Jaguars closed the gapdown to four points with 5:18 left in the third quarter.

This was the closest that Southeast Valley couldget for the rest of the contest. The Gaels responded with a 48 yard T.J. O’Tooltouchdown run to keep the Jaguars out of reach. The Jags

were unable to put together a drive in reply, leaving thescore with a 17-6 St. Edmond advantage. Southeast Valley did take advantage of Gael

iscues, as senior Andrew Dorage fell onto a fumble bySt. Edmond to end the third quarter. As the Jaguars forced the football downfield by

way of Brand passes, St. Edmond’s Robert Flattery cameup with the first of his two interceptions with less than 11minutes remaining in the game. The Gaels would fumblethe ball once more, as junior Dakota Jaeschke recovered

at the Jaguar 31 yard line. However, Brand would overthrow his receiveron the following drive, as Flattery came away with hissecond pick of the game.

Soon after, O’Tool would find paydirt from threeyards out. With the successful PAT, the Gaels would holdonto a 24-6 lead to seal the upset victory.

“In a night where we played a non-district game,the district race got even closer,” Head Coach Mike Swi-eter said following the loss. Despite the loss by the Jags, they are still verymuch in control of their own destiny.

Southeast Valley has since locked up a spot inthe Class 2A playoffs and while Shenandoah defeatedWest Central Valley, the Mustangs’ two district lossescould prove enough to seal a district title… should the

Jaguars defeat Clarinda on Friday, Oct. 23.“We did lock a playoff spot and we are playingfor the district title,” Swieter said. “If we win, we are go-ing to be district champions. If we lose, we will be in thetop three, but still make the playoffs.

We just want to go out, win this game and getthat home playoff game in Gowrie. We need no otherhelp. We just have to take care of ourselves.” The Jaguars will cap their regular season withlong road trip to Class 2A-District 8 opponent Clarinda,who lost to Red Oak, 34-21.

Winter safety tipson natural gas As usual, winter will be here quicker than wethink. To prepare, Black Hills Energy encourages ev-

eryone to make sure gas heating systems and appliancecomponents are clean and working properly before usingthem this fall. “Natural gas is a clean, safe, reliable source of energy for more than 70 million natural gas utility cus-tomers in the United States, and much of that energyis used to heat U.S. homes and businesses,” said SteveMarkwardt, Supervisor Gas Operations for the WebsterCity area. “You schedule regular maintenance on a carfor efficient performance, safe operation and longer life.In the same way, it’s important to have heating and ven-tilating equipment inspected annually by a professional,especially before you use them for the first time each fall.An annual inspection and tune-up can ensure that yourheating equipment is running properly and operating ef-ficiently.”

Black Hills Energy also recommends that cus-tomers maintain carbon monoxide detectors and havethem inspected regularly to verify proper operation. Afunctioning carbon monoxide detector may offer an earlywarning of the presence of carbon monoxide, a colorlessand odorless byproduct of the incomplete burning of fu-els including wood, gasoline, charcoal and natural gas.Gas appliances require adequate air intake for completecombustion and must be properly vented for safe and ef-ficient operation. Signs of a potential carbon monoxide leak caninclude, but are not limited to, flu-like symptoms – ascratchy throat, runny nose, headache, drowsiness ornausea. Other indicators could include frosted windowsdue to excessive humidity, or a draft from the front of the furnace when it is not turned on. If you think carbon

monoxide is present, leave the premises immediately andcall 911 or Black Hills Energy’s emergency service line,800-694-8989, from a nearby location. “If you’re a Black Hills Energy customer andyou have questions about home heating safety, please callus without hesitation,” Markwardt said.

Had it not been for its freight traffic, the FortDodge Line would have gone into oblivion during thegeneral decline of the interurban during the 1920’s and1930’s. Unlike many interurbans, the Fort Dodge Linehad interchange facilities with all eight of the majorsteam railroads in the state of Iowa. Originally coal was the king; however, the Iowamining region was played out early in this century. Inlater years the gypsum plants around Fort Dodge becamethe major source of traffic. Most of the freight was han-dled in interchange with steam roads at through rates overjoint routes. The company also maintained on- and off-line freight traffic offices to solicit business. Established by the predecessor companies,steam powered carload freight service continued afterelectrification in 1907 The original equipment order in-

cluded a box motor for express service. A second boxmotor, equipped with snowplow noses, followed in 1908.The original electric freight engines were single truckmodels. One engine was of steel box-cab constructionbuilt by General Electric while the other was a woodensteeple-cab engine built in the company’s shops. In 1909,two steeple-cab, double-truck engines replaced the origi-nal engines, which were unable to haul long trains. Fol-lowing the conversion to 1200 volts, five engines wereordered. Additional engines were added as the trafficcontinued to grow. Steam operations terminated withabandonment of the Newton line.

In early days, transportation to the mines wasdependent upon the interurban. Though conceived forfreight service, the company also provided transportationover the North Odgen branch for the miners working in

the company-owned mines. Miners rode regular trainsto Niles (later Fraser) were former Ft. Dodge streetcarnumber 10 was parked on a spur. The miners got off theinterurban, put the trolley pole of the streetcar against thewire, and made the run of about four miles to the mine.Similarly a former Ft. Dodge streetcar, numbered 95, wasequipped to operate at 1200 volts for a three-mile runover the mainline to the gypsum mines. From its beginning, the Fort Dodge Line wascommitted to interchange freight traffic. However it al-most denied its interurban character when, in 1911, afleet of 2500 box cars was obtained. In the era of the barnred box cars, Homer Loring wanted to be recognized.Therefore, he had the cars painted light grey wit a largeblack diamond-shaped herald. Unfortunately, these carshad wooden under frames and shortly thereafter becameunfit for interchange service. Until they were scrapped,the company had to build miles of track to store the cars. Interchange facilities were greatly improved by

leasing the tracks to the Des Moines Western Railwayin 1914. Though this terminal company had only a 1 1/2mile mainline, it had connections with all the steam rail-roads serving Des Moines. Following Work War I general freight trafficbecame the mainstay of the system. The North Odgenbranch was abandoned by 1925 since some of the coalmines had closed. Traffic declined during the depressionera but returned abundantly during World War II. Coal movements had historically originated onthe railroad; however, by this time the coal movementswere in-bound to the Fraser power laid through the areaen route to Minneapolis. In 1949 a connecting pipe linewas laid west from the powerhouse to a junction about 6miles away. Conversion of the plan’s boilers to gas wascompleted shortly thereafter.

The construction boom which followed WorldWar II increased the use of gypsum. Three 16- wheeledfreight engines were acquired second hand from the Ore-gon Electric Railway to handle the longer trains the com-pany desired to handle the longer trains the company de-sire to operate. These unites were particularly noteworthyfor the ease by which they could pull trains up the 2.5%grade on Fraser Hill. Early in 1949 the line began to dieselize. Twounits were purchased for service on the Rockwell Cityand Webster City-Lehigh branches. Between June andSeptember 1954 these units, plus three other leased en-gines, managed to keep freight service running. The floodof June 20 halted all electric operations until September18, when local switching resumed in Fort Dodge andDes Moines. Main line electric operations recommenced

between Boone and Des Moines on September 29. Fullfreight service continued on November 3. Freight operations were permanently dieselizedfollowing the termination of passenger service. All elec-tric equipment was scrapped and the trolley wire takendown. In 1954, Murray Salzberg, a New York based scrapdealer who operated short line railroads, gained control ofthe Fort Dodge Line. Legally, the company’s stock wasowned by the Des Moines & Central Iowa which, in turn,was owned by a Salzberg interests. In March 1956 the company contracted to sell itspower company operations, conveying its 60-cycle facili-ties to the Iowa-Illinois Gas & Electric Co. The 25-cyclefacilities and Fraser

generating plant were leased backuntil October 1, 1957 when the facilities were salvaged. Abandonment of branch lines started in 1960’s.The Lehigh branch terminated on February 15, 1962.Operations of the line beyond

Gowrie

to Rockwell Citywere suspended in April, 1962. Following a severe winter

General decline of Interurbanduring the 1920’s, 1930’s in county

the track was in bad shape. Water runoffs in the springthaw weakened the substructure of a bridge, causing acarload of grain to fall through. Abandonment of theAmes branch occurred in the spring of 1965, except forlocal trackage to the college which was taken over by theChicago & Northwestern Railway.

Against eminent domain. . . Dear Friends,

I am so proud of all the landowners standingstrong against the Bakken pipeline. (See the article intoday’s Cedar Rapids Gazette.) Their position is not aneasy one to be in. Yet despite Dakota Access’ aggressivetactics, threats and lies, 37% of the land needed for thepipeline remains in the hands of farmers and landownerswho have said “NO” to granting the company an ease-ment. With that threshold of opposition, there is noway the Iowa Utilities Board, in good conscience, cangrant Dakota Access the power of eminent domain. Butto make sure they know that, it will require continued

citizen pressure and vigilance over the next two months. I’ll add this too: As I discovered time after timeon my Pipeline Walk earlier this year, many of the land-owners who have said “YES” felt they had no option.(For more on that, read my blog posts from Day 11 andDay 36 of the Walk, as just two examples.) The opposi-tion to the pipeline among residents along its proposedroute is even deeper than the IUB probably thinks. Iowa’s politicians should be listening. In fact,the presidential candidates campaigning in Iowa shouldbe listening, too. Seventy-five percent of all Iowans areagainst taking private property through eminent domainfor a pipeline. So far, I know of only three candidateswho have said they oppose the Bakken pipeline. Theyare Rand Paul, Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders. Iyou know of others, tell me so we can thank them - and

even Paul, O’Mallely and Sanders should be challengedto speak-out more strongly against the Bakken. Of course, some of Iowa’s political leaders arenot only listening to our concerns but are in the fight withus. A special thanks to State Rep. Dan Kelley, State Sen.Rob Hogg, and State Rep. Bobby Kaufman.

With the cooler weather having appeared morerecollections pop up about farm life as winter approached.A number of things had to be accomplished before thefinal corn shucking – that’s what some called it as manywere still hand picking (shucking) their corn. Gardenshad to be cleared and barns prepared for winter for theanimals. Hopefully, during summer enough hay had beenput in the mows to get through t next year’s crop. Wasthere enough of last’s year’s corn in the holding bins”How about a close by straw stack for bedding through thewinter? Town folk didn’t have to think of those things. One of the things most everyone had to do beforethe hard winter was upon us was to clean the windows,take down the screens and store them and install the stormwindows. Those were auxiliary windows placed wherethe screens had been. Of course they needed cleaning toobefore the installation. Then perhaps an easily remov-able caulking of some kind applied to give a better sealand windproof them. Some didn’t have storm windowsbut there was a new form of the first plastic sheeting typeproduct I remember. It was fairly heavy and was placedover the windows (perhaps screen and all) and held inplace with thin lath boards nailed to the window frames.My recollection is that that material was more translucentthan transparent but it did keep the wind from howlingthrough. My aunt and uncle had a small back porch thatwas partially screened so a breeze could get through tothe kitchen during hot summer months. Before winter setin this “new” plastic was ideal. My uncle wrapped andlathed that portion of the porch so that it protected thatentryway from the winds and snows of winter. What adifference it did make in that old prairie house. When“combination” windows came on the market, I would betthey were one of the first things farmers did to modernizetheir houses besides indoor plumbing and heating for thereally old ones. Some may have just built a new house. If the work schedule had been properly planned

and executed these things had been done prior to startingthe fall corn husking. Also necessary was to have gottenall the potatoes out of the ground and into the cellar binsto last for quite some time. Along with those veggies mymom knew how to put carrots into sand in containers andwrap cabbages to make those fresh items last a numberof weeks too. I can’t remember raising many, if at all,squash and pumpkins but when we did have some at theend, of course, they were canned. By the way, have anyreaders ever had squash or carrot or sweet potato pie?We didn’t gave sweet potatoes. Mom was only one wholiked them so she enjoyed them at Thanksgiving and afew other times – out of a purchased can. I have madecarrot and squash pie, a long time ago – same processas pumpkin and tastes much the same. Now, I’m gettinghungry and hoping to enjoy pumpkin pie soon though I

have been reading and hearing “eating” pumpkin is inshort supply this year so if does come to us in cans it islikely to be expensive. The season is upon us. All the garden produce had been used and pre-served in pint and quart and some half gallon jars andwere in their proper places on the cellar shelves. Have toadmit, that was handier than the grocery store, especiallyon cold winter days. The coal shed had been replenishedand the cob house was still reasonably full.. There wassome wood around but little on those flat Boone Countyfarms and whoever thought of buying wood? Occasion-ally one of the protective grove trees gave up life and itwas felled, cut and stored to dry but mostly we had to relyon the coal from the county coal mines around Ogden andBoone. Coal did hold a hot ember longer.

With all those pre-winter chores done all that

had to concern the farmer was getting the corn in andmaking sure the animals were all well and ready for win-ter too. To come were some of those harsh snows wehoped wouldn’t because no matter how severe the weath-er or deep the snow, somehow the trek had to be made tofeed and milk the cows, feed the pigs and make sure theirbedding was sufficient, assure the few cattle we mighthave were in the lot and could get into their shelter forwarmth and food. Oh, yes, the hens (and a few roost-

Readying for winter...

ers) had to be tended and eggs picked (that was the localcolloquialism for gathering). And – can’t forget thosebaskets of corn cobs, hoping the building hadn’t allowedtoo much snow so could bring dry ones. I think the best thing about remembering suchtimes is to be so appreciative of how comfortable wehave it now, especially on an Iowa farm. Wonder whenthey are my age what my grandkids will remember fromtheir youth that will seem so antiquated.

Iowa parks, trails,shing, huntingdiscussed Oct. 20In Webster City. . .

If you are interested in parks, trails, fishing,hunting, boating, historical preservation, or anything out-doors please join like-minded friends at this years’ REAPAssembly on Tuesday, Oct. 20 from 6:30 pm - 8 pm atBriggs Woods Golf Course Lodge 2501 Briggs WoodsRd, Webster City, IA 50595. REAP stands for Resource Enhancement andProtection. It is a program in the State of Iowa that investsin, as its name implies, the enhancement and protection ofthe state’s natural and cultural resources. Iowa is blessedwith a diverse array of natural and cultural resources, andREAP is likewise diverse and far reaching. Dependingon the individual programs, REAP provides money forprojects through state agency budgets or in the form ofgrants. Several aspects of REAP also encourage privatecontributions that help accomplish program objectives. REAP is funded from the state’s EnvironmentFirst Fund (Iowa gaming receipts) and from the sale ofthe natural resource license plate. The program is autho-rized to receive $20 million per year until 2021, but thestate legislature sets the amount of REAP funding everyyear. This year REAP was appropriated $16 million.When you add license plate and interest income, its totalbudget is about $16.5 million. REAP has invested over $10 million dollars inWebster County since the program was created in 1989!!The REAP Program is an annual legislative appropria-tion. It is extreme important that citizens get involved inthe process to show local legislators how vital the REAPProgram is to our natural resources, parks, and quality oflife amenities!!

To serve and protect. That is the motto of mostpolice departments.

However, the responsibilities of police officers,sheriff deputies and other local law enforcement envelopsmore than just those four words.

For former Gowrie resident Shane Allen, thereare more intricate details to what law enforcement can doon a daily basis. “We do school patrol before and after school, tomake sure everyone in the area is safe,” said Shane Al-len, a Sheriff’s Deputy for Greene County Sheriff. “Wedo daily town checks in the towns that don’t have lawenforcement, serving papers for subpoena, debt collec-tions, foreclosure paperwork, eviction notices, protectiveorders etc., we run traffic and do traffic stops.”

Allen graduated from Prairie Valley and cur-rently resides in Jefferson. Allen has been a GreeneCounty Deputy for more than three years. “Then we answer calls from civilians that callin,” Allen said. “It’s anywhere from stray dogs, burglar-ies, assisting EMS (Emergency Medical Services), goingto car accidents, assaults and domestic abuse.”

According to Allen, other responsibilities in-clude removing unruly subjects from property, suicides,anything that anyone calls in and assistance requests.

Allen said that in between, deputies have towrite reports on all the calls that they handle.

Gowrie Police Chief Patrick Monaghan has thesame routine, but touches on how the job can get a littleunpredictable. “You never know, no days has been the samesince I’ve been here,” Gowrie Police Chief. “Every dayhas been different.” Monaghan, a 2006 graduate of Jefferson-Scran-ton (now Greene County), recently came over to Gowrie

from being the Police Chief in Farnhamville.

Both law enforcement officers also touched onthe positives and the shortcomings of their jobs as well. “Being in a busier town and being able to stopand talk to residents who are out and about,” Monaghansaid of the perks of being the small town police chief.

“It’s pretty quiet, but it’s great in getting to know thetown.

Allen talked about other benefits of his profes-sion. “One rewarding part is when you get a call togo help someone from an assault or car accident,” Al-len said. “When you arrive, you can tell that they are soglad to see you and then you get to help them through theproblem.

You can see the relief on their face when youarrive.”

Allen touched on the other positive aspects andappreciation for his presence, along with the toughestparts of being a sheriff’s deputy. “It’s a great feeling helping people,” Allen said.“When you see kids, they look up to you and are so ex-

cited to see and talk to you.My least favorite parts are going to calls where

someone died or killed themselves, and going to findthe family members to tell them their loved one passedaway.” As Police Chief, Monaghan encounters a dif-ferent set of shortcomings, but likes what he does forGowrie. “The negatives are the change of hours andthe lack of sleep sometimes, but it’s been pretty good,”Monaghan said. “It’s been busy and it makes the day flyby.” Despite the wake of scrutiny the nation over, po-lice officers still move to the call of public service.

Even through the good and the bad, the motto of“to serve and protect” echoes loudly with our local law

enforcement officials.

Dayton Police Chief:Wayne Pigman...

By Tyler Anderson

Since being named to Dayton Police Chief bythe Dayton City Council in Jan. 2015, longtime area resi-dent Wayne Pigman has kept a vigilant eye on the city of more than 800 residents. But what is a day in the life of a local police

chief? “It’s mainly controlling Dayton, and checkingon everything,” Pigman said of the position’s daily ac-tivities. “We check doors every night and we check allof the city buildings. We also do vehicle enforcement, aswell as taking any call that comes in.” Along with reserve officers Joel Wise and SteveFiebiger, Dayton is good hands with Pigman.

“For the most part, it’s a typical small town,”Pigman said. “It’s usually keeping things under controland being seen, along with checking for any suspiciousactivity.” For the former Lehigh resident, the position hasits perks. “I love being outside,” Pigman said of his fa-vorite parts of the position. “I’m an outside person, along

with being in the public eye and interacting with people.I’m not an office or a factory type of person.” In his spare time and reflecting his liking for thegreat outdoors, Pigman owns DSW Backyard Service inLehigh.

However, there is also the pitfalls of the job forPigman. “The hardest part of the job, is you can’t makeeveryone happy and still do your job,” Pigman said. “If you write a ticket, then someone gets mad. If you neverwrite a ticket, then you’re not doing your job.” Pigman grew up in Lehigh and graduated fromSoutheast Webster High School in 1993.

Dayton Review

Hi there, Tyler here.It’s been a little hectic in the Land of Liger as of

late, but it’s for different reasons than you may think. I’lltouch on that in a bit.

Man, has it been a wonderful ride for the South-east Valley football team and Jaguar cross country teamsas they enter the home stretch of their respective sched-ules.

A balanced attack and the blossoming of juniorquarterback Nolan Brand, along with an opportunisticdefensive unit, have enabled Mike Swieter’s team to anoutstanding 6-2 record.

The one-two attack of sophomore Kaleb Jondleand junior Aaron Swieter has been keeping opponents atbay, while senior Cade King has electrified Jaguarlandwith his big plays. Speaking of the “Jaguarland” name, I love it.Much more unique than Jaguar Nation, in my opinion.I see enough of those with Cyclone Nation, Buff Nation,Venom Nation, et cetera, et cetera.

But that’s not all. Senior Logan Boerner, sincereturning from his injury, has fired up a stacked de-fense that already boasts junior Alex Pliner and seniorsAndrew Dorage, Conner Conrad and Keaton Jondle.

I can’t forget about Sam Berglund and RyanGustafson either. Berglund’s a fumble recovery machine,while Gustafson is a stellar, hard hitting tackler. This week, they make a long bus ride to Clar-inda to play the Cardinals. I can tell you this, the boys arechomping at the bit to exact revenge on the Cards, whodefeated the Jags in Gowrie last year.

Moving onward, the cross country teams are be-yond belief as well. Here they are, facing so many toughopponents and holding their own, and then some.

They have great runners in junior SpencerWarehime and senior Josh Johnson lead the charge for

the boys, while the ever-talented Natalie Lambert andErica Rittgers anchor the girls.On either side, both the boys and girls are sup-

ported by great competitors.They’re going to be scary come conference and

regional meets. That’s exciting for both Coach TravisNuss and the plethora of Jaguar supporters.

I haven’t forgotten about volleyball either. Sure,they stumbled to a 6-19 record and this serves as a bum-

er to the hard working and talented seniors such as Ke-arsten Hainzinger, Aaliyah Scott, Mallory Strutzenberg

and Cassie Zinnel....But I still have faith in Head Coach Renae

Baugh, Steve Kehoe and Jessica Hector.Sometimes, you have to hit the bottom before

you make strides upward.Optimistically, in the first year, you lose a lot

and badly. Second year, surprise a few people and lose tothe powers in close contests.

Third year, you make your run. The coachingstaff have the athletes, as evidenced with how well Mor-gan Castenson, Shelby Cummins and Mady Jaeschke allplayed. The JV and JVR squads are no slouches either.

Taking a moment...

It seems that in our rush about world, it is get-ting harder and harder to take a moment for anything thatwe don’t already feel shoulder deep in.

Our lives and jobs and activities have us in sucha dither most of the time; that taking a moment of ourtime away from all that actually appears to be counter-productive. I am going to do my best to punch a great, bighole in that theory today. I’m not going to tell you that Iam any less busy than the rest of you or that I have thisall figured out.

I have, though, gained some perspective fromseveral events in my life that have proven to me that tak-ing a moment to stop and think is something that will notonly improve your quality of life, it will also help withthat hectic schedule that you keep. For instance, there was the time when I had abusy day planned with several meetings a lots of house-hold chores.

Just looking at everything that needed to bedone was daunting enough, but on top of that, I reallydidn’t even know where to start.

I took a moment at this particular juncture in theday, though, to think about what my mother would havesaid. “Start at the beginning,” she would say, “and thenjust keep on going.” So I embarked on my day. My first meeting wasat 7:30 in the morning so I prepared and then attendedand got that off the checklist.

After getting home, I started a load of laundryand then washed the dishes.

After switching the clothes to the dryer andstarting another load in the washer, I then picked up theweeks-worth of living in the living room.

After grabbing a bite of lunch, I drove to the

second meeting on my agenda at 2 in the afternoon.When we finished with that, I picked up a fewgroceries and headed back home again.

More laundry and the lunch dishes, and thendusted and vacuumed and swept.

Once that was accomplished, I managed to getin a quick nap before heading off to work once again.

Now we may all look at this and think what apoor schmuck I am for having such a schedule and all ofthe other things to do, but on the other hand, you couldthink differently. The meetings that I had to attend that day indi-cate that I had not only a job to go to, but one that valuedmy opinion. Having to do laundry, even multiple loads,means that you have clothes to put on your back and a

reason to make them look and smell nice again.Dirty dishes means that you had food to eat,

something to cook it with, and live in a place where youhave dishes in the cupboards to use. Take a moment today. Take a breath. Realize

just how good you have it and then pursue the rest ofyour day knowing that you are valued and you have re-sources and you make a difference.

Take a moment and realize that you matter.
