On a clear, cool yet windy day east of Dayton,
harvest is well underway.
The focus for the large, green John Deere combine and tractor right off of Union Avenue is on taking
care of beans.
Manning the combine is Dayton resident Kevin
Lambert.
Every once in a while, his wife Sara would ride
the tractor next to the combine, as Lambert deposits his
load of beans.
This upcoming election season, Lambert will
aim to represent Dayton, alongside his farm work. On
Nov. 3, Lambert will be on the ballot in the Dayton City
Council election.
Amidst the incumbents running for re-election
in Mayor Richard Travis and council member Beth
Wickwire, Kevin Lambert is the lone new face. Present
council members Eric Skoglund and Claire Williamson
are not seeking re-election. As of Monday, Oct. 19, there
are two seats open in the Dayton City Council.
However, Lambert is hardly considered a newcomer to Dayton.
I lived in Dayton all of my life and grew up on
a farm, Lambert said, introducing himself as the combine swallowed up the many rows of beans. Im married
with my wife, Sara, and three kids: Joel, Mackenzie and
Kevin Lambert takes a quick break while harvesting beans on Wednesday, Oct. 14 outside of Dayton. Lambert will the lone newcomer running for Dayton City Council on the Nov. 3 election. Photo by Tyler Anderson.

A Horse and Farm Animal Ordinance, along
with improvements at Cadwell Park and the resignation
of council member Mark Knudtson were the main focus
of the Dayton City Council meeting on Oct. 14 at Dayton
City Hall.
The meeting moved at a steady pace.
The sum of $2,500 was raised during the Dayton
Museum Fundraiser and Chili Lunch, and the turnout was
tremendous, according to Kenny Sanders. The museum
will be open during Ladies Night Out, which is on Nov.
12.
Mark Knudtson issued a letter of resignation to
the city council and the motion was made, and accepted.

Chuck Danielson recalled that Roger liked to
build birdhouses. Roger used a screwdriver, saw and
hammer and he did a fine job with what he had, said
Chuck.
Roger was an innovative person and he is heaven-bound today, Chuck proclaimed.
Marilyn Anderson, Dayton, noted that Roger
was very smart. Roger worked at the Anderson home on
grain bins and other things some years ago.
Many years ago we called him Riverbottom
Roger because he lived on the river bottom with Robert
Haub for some time, Marilyn noted.
Roger was very polite and he could figure things out. He was very respectful and he said his
prayers, she recalled.
Dee Richardson, speaking from his electrically
portable chair, said Roger was a good friend who enjoyed animals.
Said Dee, Roger took care of me and he was
always there to help.
Said one friend, I hope his ending was quick.
Right now, his ending (death) doesnt make sense.
Another person said, Roger was so positive, so
much fun. Winters were hard for him but he endured.
Roger didnt have any known enemies and it has
been difficult for many to understand how anyone court
hurt and kill this very good person.
It was great to hear several stories by people
who wanted to share their experiences with Roger.
I had called my brother Denis on Rogers death.
Denny had met Roger about 10 years ago. And Denny
would always ask me about Roger.
Roger had a certain quality about him that endeared him to everyone. Roger cared about everyone and
everyone in turn cared about him.
We need more Roger Browns in this world. His
spirit will always be remembered.

Mayor of Harcourt:
Grant Gibbons...
By Grant Gibbons
My name is Grant Gibbons and I am running
for Mayor of Harcourt. My wife Staci, son Joshua and
daughter, Leah, have resided in Harcourt since March of
2000.
I am employed as the Regional Circulation Director at The Messenger in Fort Dodge.
I also work part-time at Sears Hometown, also
in Fort Dodge.
I have worked at various newspapers for 27
years, included the last 15 years in Fort Dodge and have
extensive budgeting, marketing and human resource experience.
I also served on the Southeast Webster-Grand
School Board for 11 years, including four years as President.
I grew up on a farm near Albany, Wisconsin,
which is located 26 miles south of Madison.
I graduated from the University of WisconsinOshkosh with Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism
and a minor in Political Science.
We moved to Harcourt because my wife and I
enjoy the quality of life as a small town provide.
My wife and I both attended small public
schools and our hometowns were small and rural based.
Knowing your neighbors, their kids and extended family, and knowing that your kids are growing up in a safe
environment where everyone looks out for each other is
priceless.
Harcourt is a special place and offers a piece of
Americana that is disappearance across the country. We
need to preserve what we have and continue to work together to make it even better.
I would be new to city government, but I do
feel that my education and interests, which have always
included government and its mechanics, my 27 years of
newspaper experience and my 11 years of school board
experience can be an asset to the Harcourt community
should I receive the privilege of serving as Mayor.
I have some major objectives as Mayor. These
include:
Working with and building relationships
with community members to make our community attractive to prospective residents and a source of pride for
those living here now and in the future.
Continuing to ensure that our town remains
a safe place for our children and all residents. I would
seek to implement a Neighorhood Watch program and
increase the vigilance that is already present.
Working with our city council and city clerk
to identify properties that are not meeting the citys vision
for what and attractive, vibrant community looks like and
Lewanne Gallentine is an incumbent seeking
re-election on the Harcourt City Council. Gallentine is
currently an Executive Assistant and Grant Administrator at the McClure Engineering Company in Fort Dodge.
Lewannes spouse is Donald Gallentine.
Why are you running for this position?
I enjoy being involved in the community and
can be more involved in the day-to-day activities of the
city by being on City Council.
I live in the City of Harcourt, my children were
raised in Harcourt. I will retire in Harcourt and our church
is in Harcourt.
I want to see the city continue to stay viable and
strong in the years to come.
What issues are important to you and why?
Maintaining good streets, a strong sewer and
water system, keeping Harcourt attractive to newcomers,
keeping our City Park attractive for people to use, enforcing City ordinances, which includes continually cleaning
up the city, junk cars, debris, old houses.
Along with supporting our local Fire Department, these are the issues that are important to me and the
City Council works hard to maintain.
Scott Engquist is also an incumbent running for
City Council. Engquist is the owner of Engquist Lumber
Company based in Harcourt, board member of Security
Savings Bank and is currently the Treasurer of the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association.
Engquist has served as Chairman of the Iowa
Lumber Association and Northwestern Lumber Associationin the past and graduated from Iowa State University
with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration.
His wife is Diane, and his two adult sons are
Alex and Thomas.
Matt Fors is the lone newcomer running for
Harcourt City Council. Fors is an architectural intern with
a Bachelors degree in Architecture.
His spouse is Rachel Fors, and his two children
are his daughter Adelle, and his son Landon.

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 a
tough 24-6 loss against St. Edmond on Friday evening at
Dodger Stadium in Fort Dodge.
As far as this game this is all I really want to
say, we did not play well and we need to forget about it,
move on and get ready for Clarinda, Head Coach Mike
Swieter said following the loss. That is all the matters.
The quicker we move on, the better. St. Eds was the better team on that night.
The beginning of the game started off as a defensive war of attrition, as neither team gaining much
5
traction.
,
At the end of the first quarter, the game remained
o
at
a
scoreless
deadlock.
y
With less than eight minutes left in the second
quarter, however, St. Edmonds Payton Sitzmann broke
out 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, resorted to passing the football as junior quarterback Nolan
Brand found senior wide receiver Conner Conrad for a 35
yard reception with 6:30 left in the half. This was Conrads lone catch of the night.
The Jaguars drove down into the red zone, until
Brand looked to heave the ball to Nolan Johnson in the
far corner of the endzone.
St. Edmonds Will Woodruff easily identified
the play, intercepted the pass and halted the bout of Jaguar momentum in the first half.
The Gaels would later drive down the field on
the power of their running game, and with little time to
spare on the game clock, booted a field goal. At the half,
Southeast Valley found themselves in a rare position thus
far in the 2015 season, trailing 10-0.
Coming back from the break, the Jaguars came
out with a fire, forcing St. Edmond into a three and out.
From their own 36, Southeast Valley drove down the
field.
Junior running back Aaron Swieter capped the
drive with a 12 yard touchdown scamper.
After a blocked PAT, the Jaguars closed the gap
down to four points with 5:18 left in the third quarter.
This was the closest that Southeast Valley could
nget for the rest of the contest.
.
The Gaels responded with a 48 yard T.J. OTool
e
touchdown
run to keep the Jaguars out of reach. The Jags
y
were unable to put together a drive in reply, leaving the
score with a 17-6 St. Edmond advantage.
Southeast Valley did take advantage of Gael
miscues, as senior Andrew Dorage fell onto a fumble by
St. Edmond to end the third quarter.

Dayton Review
CITY OF LEHIGH
Dear Friends,
I am so proud of all the landowners standing
strong against the Bakken pipeline. (See the article in
todays Cedar Rapids Gazette.) Their position is not an
easy one to be in. Yet despite Dakota Access aggressive
tactics, threats and lies, 37% of the land needed for the
pipeline remains in the hands of farmers and landowners
who have said NO to granting the company an easement.
With that threshold of opposition, there is no
way the Iowa Utilities Board, in good conscience, can
grant Dakota Access the power of eminent domain. But
to make sure they know that, it will require continued
citizen pressure and vigilance over the next two months.
Ill add this too: As I discovered time after time
on my Pipeline Walk earlier this year, many of the landowners who have said YES felt they had no option.
(For more on that, read my blog posts from Day 11 and
Day 36 of the Walk, as just two examples.) The opposition to the pipeline among residents along its proposed
route is even deeper than the IUB probably thinks.
Iowas politicians should be listening. In fact,
the presidential candidates campaigning in Iowa should
be listening, too. Seventy-five percent of all Iowans are
against taking private property through eminent domain
for a pipeline. So far, I know of only three candidates
who have said they oppose the Bakken pipeline. They
are Rand Paul, Martin OMalley and Bernie Sanders. If
you know of others, tell me so we can thank them - and
even Paul, OMallely and Sanders should be challenged
to speak-out more strongly against the Bakken.
Of course, some of Iowas political leaders are
not only listening to our concerns but are in the fight with
us. A special thanks to State Rep. Dan Kelley, State Sen.
Rob Hogg, and State Rep. Bobby Kaufman.

As usual, winter will be here quicker than we
think. To prepare, Black Hills Energy encourages everyone to make sure gas heating systems and appliance
components are clean and working properly before using
them this fall.
Natural gas is a clean, safe, reliable source of
energy for more than 70 million natural gas utility customers in the United States, and much of that energy
is used to heat U.S. homes and businesses, said Steve
Markwardt, Supervisor Gas Operations for the Webster
City area. You schedule regular maintenance on a car
for efficient performance, safe operation and longer life.
In the same way, its important to have heating and ventilating 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 your
heating equipment is running properly and operating efficiently.
Black Hills Energy also recommends that customers maintain carbon monoxide detectors and have
them inspected regularly to verify proper operation. A
functioning carbon monoxide detector may offer an early
warning of the presence of carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless byproduct of the incomplete burning of fuels including wood, gasoline, charcoal and natural gas.
Gas appliances require adequate air intake for complete
combustion and must be properly vented for safe and efficient operation.
Signs of a potential carbon monoxide leak can
include, but are not limited to, flu-like symptoms a
scratchy throat, runny nose, headache, drowsiness or
nausea. Other indicators could include frosted windows
due 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 and
call 911 or Black Hills Energys emergency service line,
800-694-8989, from a nearby location.
If youre a Black Hills Energy customer and
you have questions about home heating safety, please call
us without hesitation, Markwardt said.

REAP stands for Resource Enhancement and
Protection. It is a program in the State of Iowa that invests
in, as its name implies, the enhancement and protection of
the states natural and cultural resources. Iowa is blessed
with a diverse array of natural and cultural resources, and
REAP is likewise diverse and far reaching. Depending
on the individual programs, REAP provides money for
projects through state agency budgets or in the form of
grants. Several aspects of REAP also encourage private
contributions that help accomplish program objectives.
REAP is funded from the states Environment
First Fund (Iowa gaming receipts) and from the sale of
the natural resource license plate. The program is authorized to receive $20 million per year until 2021, but the
state legislature sets the amount of REAP funding every
year. This year REAP was appropriated $16 million.
When you add license plate and interest income, its total
budget is about $16.5 million.
REAP has invested over $10 million dollars in
Webster County since the program was created in 1989!!
The REAP Program is an annual legislative appropriation. It is extreme important that citizens get involved in
the process to show local legislators how vital the REAP
Program is to our natural resources, parks, and quality of
life amenities!!

CUSTOMERS OF LEHIGH
Dayton Review
To serve and protect. That is the motto of most
police departments.
However, the responsibilities of police officers,
sheriff deputies and other local law enforcement envelops
more than just those four words.
For former Gowrie resident Shane Allen, there
are more intricate details to what law enforcement can do
on a daily basis.
We do school patrol before and after school, to
make sure everyone in the area is safe, said Shane Allen, a Sheriffs Deputy for Greene County Sheriff. We
do daily town checks in the towns that dont have law
enforcement, serving papers for subpoena, debt collections, foreclosure paperwork, eviction notices, protective
orders etc., we run traffic and do traffic stops.
Allen graduated from Prairie Valley and currently resides in Jefferson. Allen has been a Greene
County Deputy for more than three years.
Then we answer calls from civilians that call
in, Allen said. Its anywhere from stray dogs, burglaries, assisting EMS (Emergency Medical Services), going
to car accidents, assaults and domestic abuse.
According to Allen, other responsibilities include removing unruly subjects from property, suicides,
anything that anyone calls in and assistance requests.
Allen said that in between, deputies have to
write reports on all the calls that they handle.
Gowrie Police Chief Patrick Monaghan has the
same routine, but touches on how the job can get a little
unpredictable.
You never know, no days has been the same
since Ive been here, Gowrie Police Chief. Every day
has been different.
Monaghan, a 2006 graduate of Jefferson-Scranton (now Greene County), recently came over to Gowrie
from being the Police Chief in Farnhamville.
Both law enforcement officers also touched on
the positives and the shortcomings of their jobs as well.
Being in a busier town and being able to stop
and talk to residents who are out and about, Monaghan
said of the perks of being the small town police chief.
Its pretty quiet, but its great in getting to know the
town.
Allen talked about other benefits of his profession.
One rewarding part is when you get a call to
go help someone from an assault or car accident, Allen said. When you arrive, you can tell that they are so
glad to see you and then you get to help them through the
problem.
You can see the relief on their face when you
arrive.
Allen touched on the other positive aspects and
appreciation for his presence, along with the toughest
parts of being a sheriffs deputy.
Its a great feeling helping people, Allen said.
When you see kids, they look up to you and are so excited to see and talk to you.
My least favorite parts are going to calls where
someone died or killed themselves, and going to find
the family members to tell them their loved one passed
away.
As Police Chief, Monaghan encounters a different set of shortcomings, but likes what he does for
Gowrie.
The negatives are the change of hours and
the lack of sleep sometimes, but its been pretty good,
Monaghan said. Its been busy and it makes the day fly
by.
Despite the wake of scrutiny the nation over, police 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.
By Tyler Anderson
Since being named to Dayton Police Chief by
the Dayton City Council in Jan. 2015, longtime area resident 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?
Its mainly controlling Dayton, and checking
on everything, Pigman said of the positions daily activities. We check doors every night and we check all
of the city buildings. We also do vehicle enforcement, as
well as taking any call that comes in.
Along with reserve officers Joel Wise and Steve
Fiebiger, Dayton is good hands with Pigman.
For the most part, its a typical small town,
Pigman said. Its usually keeping things under control
and being seen, along with checking for any suspicious
activity.
For the former Lehigh resident, the position has
its perks.
I love being outside, Pigman said of his favorite parts of the position. Im an outside person, along
with being in the public eye and interacting with people.
Im not an office or a factory type of person.
In his spare time and reflecting his liking for the
great outdoors, Pigman owns DSW Backyard Service in
Lehigh.
However, there is also the pitfalls of the job for
Pigman.
The hardest part of the job, is you cant make
everyone happy and still do your job, Pigman said. If
you write a ticket, then someone gets mad. If you never
write a ticket, then youre not doing your job.
Pigman grew up in Lehigh and graduated from
Southeast Webster High School in 1993.

St. Marys.

keep the Titans at bay, winning 25-18 and 25-15.

Volunteers needed
for Dayton Festival of
Lights workday Oct. 24
11
The Dayton Community Club is currently looking for volunteers to help out on the Festival of Lights
workday on Saturday, Oct. 24.
The Festival of Lights have been a staple of the
Dayton holiday season for many years, save for this past
Christmas season.
The goal for the Festival of Lights is to be ready
for Thanksgiving, turning on the lights and leaving them
on throughout the holidays.
Hi there, Tyler here.
Its been a little hectic in the Land of Liger as of
late, but its for different reasons than you may think. Ill
touch on that in a bit.
Man, has it been a wonderful ride for the Southeast Valley football team and Jaguar cross country teams
as they enter the home stretch of their respective schedules.
A balanced attack and the blossoming of junior
quarterback Nolan Brand, along with an opportunistic
defensive unit, have enabled Mike Swieters team to an
outstanding 6-2 record.
The one-two attack of sophomore Kaleb Jondle
and junior Aaron Swieter has been keeping opponents at
bay, while senior Cade King has electrified Jaguarland
with 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 thats not all. Senior Logan Boerner, since
returning from his injury, has fired up a stacked defense that already boasts junior Alex Pliner and seniors
Andrew Dorage, Conner Conrad and Keaton Jondle.
I cant forget about Sam Berglund and Ryan
Gustafson either. Berglunds a fumble recovery machine,
while Gustafson is a stellar, hard hitting tackler.
This week, they make a long bus ride to Clarinda to play the Cardinals. I can tell you this, the boys are
chomping at the bit to exact revenge on the Cards, who
defeated the Jags in Gowrie last year.
Moving onward, the cross country teams are beyond belief as well. Here they are, facing so many tough
opponents and holding their own, and then some.
They have great runners in junior Spencer
Warehime and senior Josh Johnson lead the charge for
the boys, while the ever-talented Natalie Lambert and
Erica Rittgers anchor the girls.
On either side, both the boys and girls are supported by great competitors.
Theyre going to be scary come conference and
regional meets. Thats exciting for both Coach Travis
Nuss and the plethora of Jaguar supporters.
I havent forgotten about volleyball either. Sure,
they stumbled to a 6-19 record and this serves as a bummer to the hard working and talented seniors such as Kearsten Hainzinger, Aaliyah Scott, Mallory Strutzenberg

Taking a moment...
It seems that in our rush about world, it is getting harder and harder to take a moment for anything that
we dont already feel shoulder deep in.
Our lives and jobs and activities have us in such
a dither most of the time; that taking a moment of our
time away from all that actually appears to be counterproductive.
I am going to do my best to punch a great, big
hole in that theory today. Im not going to tell you that I
am any less busy than the rest of you or that I have this
all figured out.
I have, though, gained some perspective from
several events in my life that have proven to me that taking a moment to stop and think is something that will not
only improve your quality of life, it will also help with
that hectic schedule that you keep.
For instance, there was the time when I had a
busy day planned with several meetings a lots of household chores.
Just looking at everything that needed to be
done was daunting enough, but on top of that, I really
didnt even know where to start.
I took a moment at this particular juncture in the
day, though, to think about what my mother would have
said. Start at the beginning, she would say, and then
just keep on going.
So I embarked on my day. My first meeting was
at 7:30 in the morning so I prepared and then attended
and got that off the checklist.
After getting home, I started a load of laundry
and then washed the dishes.
After switching the clothes to the dryer and
starting another load in the washer, I then picked up the
weeks-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 few
groceries and headed back home again.

More laundry and the lunch dishes, and then
dusted and vacuumed and swept.
Once that was accomplished, I managed to get
in a quick nap before heading off to work once again.
Now we may all look at this and think what a
poor schmuck I am for having such a schedule and all of
the other things to do, but on the other hand, you could
think differently.
The meetings that I had to attend that day indicate that I had not only a job to go to, but one that valued
my 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,
