First Day hikes set


at Dolliver State Park,
Brushy Creek State Park

daytonreview@lvcta.com

On New Years Day. . .



Free, guided hikes will take place in 25 Iowa
state parks on New Years Day as part of Americas State
Parks First Day Hikes initiative. All 50 states will participate in the sixth annual national event that encourages
everyone to celebrate the New Year with a guided outdoor exploration.

There will be guided hikes at Dolliver State
Park near Lehigh at 9:30 a.m. on New Years Day and at
11 a.m. at Brushy Creek State Park northeast of Lehigh.

There will also be a guided hike at 11 a.m. at
Ledges State Park south of Boone.

We are excited to host First Day Hikes again
as part of this effort to get people outdoors and into our
parks, says Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau. These hikes
are a great way to get outside, exercise, enjoy nature and
welcome the New Year with friends and family.

Last year, more than 600 people began the year
in an Iowa state park, hiking more than 1,100 total miles.

And we had participants ranging in age from 8
weeks to 80-plus years, adds Coffelt.

Hikers can expect to be surrounded by the quiet
beauty of nature in winter, and experience spectacular
views, beautiful settings and the cultural treasures offered by Iowas state parks.

Staff and volunteers will lead First Day Hikes
in Iowas 25 participating state parks. Hikes will average
one to two miles or longer depending on the location.
Details about the hikes can be found at www.iowadnr.
gov/firstdayhikes and to see a comprehensive map of
First Day Hikes across the country, visit www.stateparks.
org Participants are encouraged to share their adventures
on social media with #FirstDayHikes.

Security Savings Bank experiences


New York City during holiday season
America's most exciting metropolis...

On Monday, December 5, 2016, twenty-five
travelers from Security Savings Bank and arrived in
Americas most exciting metropolis as it shines during
the holiday season, New York City!!! Wow, we immediately felt the festive spirit and lively energy of this fascinating city.

Upon our arrival and hotel check-in, day one
was free to do whatever we pleased. The majority of us
went to the Rockefeller Center where we saw the lights
of the beautiful Christmas tree and the skaters on the ice
pond. Some went to the Top of the Rock for an overall
view of the city.

Day two started with morning breakfast at Ellens Stardust Diner, a very enjoyable place. Our waiters
and waitresses were Broadway want-to-bees, waiting tables and singing while hoping to get their break on
Broadway. Next was a city bus tour of the Big Apple

which included Greenwich Village, the Wall Street district, Little Italy, Chinatown, the Empire State Building,
Central Park, Chelsea Market and other landmarks. We
visited St. Pauls Chapel, a place where George Washington once worshiped and where the recovery workers
came for rest and care during their time at the World
Trade Center site. We concluded our afternoon at the
9/11 Memorial, which was an emotional tribute to the
lives lost on September 11, 2001. The evenings highlight was at Radio City Music Hall featuring the highkicking Rockettes! This was an amazing show with the
first half filled with fun and frolic and the second part
was the true meaning of Christmas. The manger scene
was complete with Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, shepherds,
wise men, angels along with real camels and sheep. This

Dayton Review

A church closes, new


superintendent, great crops. . .

Our friends and neighbors in southern Webster


County and in surrounding counties had a very good year
in 2016.

We had record crops. Our weather was relatively good all year long.

Our churches and schools had a fine year. And
of course we are blessed to reside in such a good state and
in such a great nation!

To be sure, there were a few negative occurrences. There are always some adverse circumstances that
arise. The closing of the Lanyon Covenant Church was
hard to accept.

For sports fans, many baseball fans enjoyed
watching the Chicago Cubs win a World Series for the
first time since 1908! We have many Cub fans in Iowa
and the triple A farm team of the Cubs, the Iowa Cubs, is
located in Des Moines.

The biggest story regarding our schools, which
are whole grade sharing, concerned the hiring of Brian
Johnson who is the new Superintendent of both the Prairie Valley School District and the Southeast Webster
Grand School District. Johnson resides in Gowrie with
his wife and family.

In terms of insfrastructure, the construction
of the $3.5 million addition to the Dayton Elementary
School was the big story.

Local icons who died included Al Porter, Dayton, who died in a late July house fire. Al was co-founder
of the Dayton Rodeo. And Claire Williamson, Dayton,
was involved in so many city institutions and organizations, everything from being an EMT on the local ambulance to be a member of the Dayton City Council.

In Gowrie Heartland Bank is constructing a
new bank in downtown Gowrie. Southeast Valley High
School, located in Gowrie, had many of their sport teams
do well in post-season competition.

Perhaps the biggest story of the year in our area
involved the Bakken Pipeline which was approved and
is being constructed diagonally across Iowa and diagonally across Webster County. There were farmers who
opposed this project and other farmers were opposed to
eminent domain.

Approval of a meatpacking plant near Eagle
Grove is generating construction of new and/or expanded hog confinements in the Callender area and southern
Webster County.

Gowrie had another excellent Fourth of July celebration. Harcourt enjoyed good weather for its Appreciation Day.

The year began with a major tragedy in Boxholm
as Amber Sorenson and her three children died in a
Boxholm house fire. Another tragedy occurred in midJune when Collin Murphy died in a drowning incident in
the Des Moines River in Lehigh.

Wade Sundell, a Boxholm native, continued to
be a Saddle Bronc Rodeo champion in national rodeo
events.

Lehighs mayor Paula Martin resigned, and then
was appointed to the Lehigh City Council. Lehigh also
endured a few City clerk resignations. But the biggest
loss in city government was the resignation of Dayton
City Clerk Randy Danielson.

Dayton Rodeo attendance stagnated in recent
years and the paid attendance has decreased from its peak.
Having a very good rodeo doesnt seem to be enough in
this very competitive high tech world.

One of the big business stories was the merger
of Farmers Coop and West Central Elevator into what is
now Landus Cooperative.

This is only a glimpse of some of the big stories
and events that occurred in our area.

May God guide our leaders, families, and communities in the coming year. May God bless our families,
our friends and neighbors. May we all help one another
in the coming year.

Man drowns
at Don Williams Lake

A rural Boone County man, Michael Carr, 56,


died in a drowning accident Saturday, Dec. 17, at Don
Williams Lake.

He apparently tried to rescue his dog which was
struggling to stay afloat in the lake.

SSB in New York City...


continued front front page...
absolutely made the whole trip a real Christmas experience!
Day three was a free day to do the things you wanted to
see. Some got up bright and early to be on the Today
Show down at Rockefeller Center. Did anyone see four
gals with their sign from Iowa? Others went on a pedicab
ride through Central Park, a carriage pulled by a bicycler.
Some went to the aircraft carrier, USS Intrepid which is
dry-docked at the Air & Space Museum, the Empire State
Building, window shopping on 5th Ave and Macys Department Store and last but not least, some went through
rigorous security to get into the Trump Tower! Everyone
seemed to have a fun time on their own!
Thursday was a chilly day crossing the New York Harbor
to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We learned
about the struggles, hopes and fears of these brave people
coming to America. Some were able to find information
about their relatives. After a farewell dinner, we enjoyed
another Broadway Musical, Chicago, a tale of sin, corruption and all that jazz!
On our last day in NYC, we decided to brave the NYC
subway, definitely a bucket list thing to do! We soon
learned that it was the fastest, cheapest and easiest way

As gas prices rise


in Iowa, motorists
can reduce their costs

As the Christmas and New Year holidays are
upon us, U.S. holiday travelers are seeing spikes at the
gas pump because of higher oil prices.

AAA reports the price at the pump has increased
nearly every day the past three weeks. The national average price for a gallon of regular gas is $2.25.

About 103 million people are expected to travel
between now and Jan. 3, a would-be holiday record. Most
will opt to drive 93.6 million, to be exact, up 1.5% over
last year.

In other words, motorists will pay more for gas
in the coming days and maybe even weeks unless they
take steps to reduce costs.

The below experts at Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA) are available to discuss why oil and gas
prices continue to climb, if they continue to climb well
into 2017, and what motorists can do to reduce expenses,
including:

Reducing excessive weight stored in and on
your vehicle;

Using more cruise control;

Checking tire pressure;

Minimizing the time you spend idling your car
to warm it up;

Using your cars seat warmers or defrosters less;

Removing accessories that increase wind resistance, like roof racks.

to get around, but its something you want do in numbers


and daylight in my opinion. We subbed it all the way to
the end of the line to the 9/11 Museum. We all agreed it
was very interesting and heart breaking to see, but it is
history to be remembered. We returned to the airport and
flew home at 9:30 p.m. so we had put in another long day.
New York City is a great place to visit, especially with all
the glamour of Christmas, but theres no place like Iowa
where its peaceful, quiet and it doesnt take an hour and
a half to go 14 blocks!

SV JH girls win;
get good performances

It was a great night of Basketball for the Southeast Valley JH Girls who played at Pomeroy vs PAC.
The 7th grade came away with a thrilling 20-19 victory
behind and outstanding team effort with Haley Welter
leading the way with 10 points.

The Jags received outstanding effort in the guard
court from the trio of Madison Doyle and Sadie Nelson
and Ryann Shipley and very dominate post play from
Kyleigh Erritt who chipped in 6 points.

The Jags also received outstanding bench play
from the duo of Carly Davis and Jayden Gardapee which
resulted in one heck of a team effort and hard fought victory. The 7th grade is now 3-3 on the season.

The 8th grade continued their solid play with a
39-27 victory with Sydney Carlson having the hot hand
with 14 points. The Jags received very solid guard play
from the trio of Emily Jaeschke, Chloe Hicks and Emily
Hemmestad.

The Jags also received solid post play from the
trio of Morgan Farnham, Brielle Haub and Riley Nelson.
The Jags also received quality minutes off the bench from
the duo of Addie Correll and Allison Bethel. The 8th
grade improves their record to 5-1 on the season.

Christmas message
from friend with
great holiday message
For everyone!

My neighbors adjacent to me in Arizona are
Ralph and Iona, and they are 94 and 93 years old respectively. We are good friends and Ralph sent me a wonderful Christmas letter this year with a message that I wanted
to share with everyone. (By Glenn S.)
There is a list of folks I know all written in a book,
And every year at Christmas time I go and take a look.
And that is when I realize these names are such a part,
Not of the book theyre written in, but of my very heart.

Wednesday, December 28, 2016

Of names upon a Christmas list forgotten in between.


For when I send a Christmas card that is addressed to you
Its because youre on the list of folks I am indebted to.
Because you are a total of the many folks Ive met,
You happen to be one of the those I care not to forget.
And whether I have known you for many years or few,
In some way you have had a part in shaping things I do.
And every year when Christmas comes I realize anew,
The BIGGEST GIFT that life can give is MEETING
FRIENDS LIKE YOU!
May the SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS that forever and ever
endures,
Leave its richest blessings in the hearts of YOU and
YOURS.

Rather be home...


Christmas, 2016 has come and gone and a new
year has begun. Are you breathing a sigh of relief? I think
we all are even though the time may have been great with
so many things going on. Did any of you travel some distance to celebrate? Did you have family or other guests
from some miles away visit and stay with you?

There were only two Christmas times in all my
years that I have travelled far for Christmas. The first
time was the first year I was alone and my children felt
I needed a change so talked me into having an early
family Christmas, promising that Grandma and Grandpa
would not be alone on actual Christmas. My childrens
families had gotten me a ticket to accompany one son,
wife and baby girl to Denver to visit sons wifes grandparents. My daughter in laws whole family was gathering there.

The flight wasnt bad except that baby granddaughter was unhappy all the way and cried. We wondered if her ears were hurting. I know mine often bother
when I fly. We arrived in Denver on time and our flight
practically coincided with arrival time of daughter in
laws mother, step-father and sisters. Grandma had come
to meet all of us and we had assumed transportation had
been arranged. However, after picking up all our luggage, baby things, etc. we were guided outside to --- the
BUS STOP! I offered to pay for a taxi for my son, wife,
daughter and me but that offer was declined. I had hoped
it would jog the rest of the family into loosening up the
purse strings.

The whole troop finally dragged themselves and
all the luggage from the bus stop to the almost downtown apartment building of Grandma and Grandpa, took
our turns at the elevator and finally landed in their small
senior housing abode. The weather and temp in Denver
that year was great but disappointing to snow/ski lovers
and very disappointing to merchants, innkeepers and ski
lodge operators . The apartment was crowded and the
heat turned up. Daughter in laws step dad was nursing
(and I mean nursing) a bad cold and sisters were arguing.
I was glad it was nice enough to sit on the deck sometimes. One of daughter in laws sisters and I were bedded
down at a gracious neighbors on her pull out couch. That
was okay but she, too, kept the temp at what felt like near
90 day and night.

We went a number of places and a nice restaurant
or two, BUT everything was on foot. We certainly got
our exercise. The ground floor of the apartment building
had various businesses, the main one being a fresh fish

SV JH 7th girls play

market. My recollection is it was owned by some very


friendly Orientals. They were happy to show us the various offerings. That is the first time I had seen squid/octopus, eel, and others I couldnt remember. They would
cut or slice them to your order. Interesting but, no thank
you.

Christmas Eve Grandma announced she would
be going to mass the next morning and I, used to Christmas Eve services, asked to accompany her. It was interesting and not so different from my church that I
couldnt participate in a lot of it and believe it or not,
I went up for Communion and was not refused so I felt
pretty good about that.

We were only gone for a few days but with all
that closeness and that heat, a number of us, including
me, got step dads cold/flu. I advised son and daughter
in law that I didnt care what everyone else was doing,
I would pay for a cab to get us to the airport and tip a
porter to handle our luggage. Offer gratefully and graciously accepted. Flight back for baby much the same
as going out. My flight back was miserable and when
another son picked me up at airport it was just go home
and hit my own bed.

I have been through Denver several times via
plane or car but never again to Denver. There are mixed
memories about that trip. I did learn something. Home
with family is the best place to be at Christmas.

As we look back on Christmases past I wish
you all a VERY HAPPY, GOOD NEW YEAR!

Grateful heart brings Christmas early


at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital

Peter Farley has a special place in his heart for
the team at Stewart Memorial Community Hospital in
Lake City. The healthcare team has helped him overcome
health challenges over the years, including a heart attack.
Following his heart attack, the Lake City resident enrolled in the cardiac rehabilitation program at SMCH to
strengthen his heart. I come to Cardiac Rehab for a few
reasons, says Farley. The program keeps me committed to regular exercise, and it provides an opportunity to
meet other people who are also in the program. We have
an informal support group that keeps each of us going,
notes Farley.

Also keeping him motivated is the sleek new
Nu Step machine he donated to the cardiac rehab department. For the second time, he saw a need to improve the
equipment in the department and generously donated the
machine. He donated the first Nu Step in 2014 and then
decided to donate a second one. Using the Nu Step is
very helpful to patients. Having two machines available
allows more people to benefit from the equipment during
their time at cardiac rehab. Ive had a positive experience
with the program and want others to benefit as well,
shares Farley. We are very grateful for his continued
generosity and support of our cardiac rehab department,
says Megan Huster, RN and director of the department.
His kindness benefits many and we are very appreciative.

Exercise on the Nu Step is just a part of the cardiac rehab teams goals for Peter. They also monitor his
health during each session by checking his blood pressure
and encourage healthy eating. I take comfort in knowing professionals are here to help if something happens
during exercise. I know Im in the right spot. The team
approach to make sure Im
receiving the best care is
reassuring, says Farley.

At the same time,
the cardiac team is assured
they can give every patient

the benefit of using the Nu Step, thanks to Peters generosity. A healthy future is the best Christmas gift we can
give each patient and Peter is helping us make that possible, adds Huster.

For more information about Cardiac Rehab services available at SMCH, contact Megan Huster, RN, at
712-464-4118 or Bev Watters, RN, at 712-464-3171, ext.
6283.

Melanie and Peter Farley generously donated their

Uncle runs down elk on horse back...



Then the ride home in the early autumn afternoon, and my father pointing out places that gave me
boyhood interest. Here my father and uncle had shot and
dressed a deer. There a brother of another uncle had been
drowned when the river was out of its banks - the place
where they used to gather for meeting services and stay
for wrestling matches and running bouts in the afternoon;
there were my uncle ran down an elk on horseback, and
brained it with a fork handle in an effort to draw first
blood and so entitle him to the hide...

Yes, and how often have I listened to my father
describing the hardships of their frontier lives - how they
ground sixteen bushels of corn in Grandmothers old coffee mill one severe winter. My father enjoyed recounting
those experiences. Its great to be an old settlers boy, I
tell you.

Rolfe, in the above, mentioned Edward Price as
a neighbor at Tysons Mill in the mid-1860s. At a Fourth
of July celebration in 1876, Price described a facet of that
pioneer life:

In dress, the greatest simplicity and economy
compatible with decency was observed by both sexes.
Women in plain calico dresses and gingham sunbonnets were accompanied by church by husbands in shirt
sleeves, denim pants and bare feet.

The people being alike, all poor, easily became reconciled to this pioneer dress, but in the matter
of something to eat and, more particularly something to
drink, they met with serious difficulty.

With coffee at sixty cents per pound and tea at
$2, those old coffee and tea topers were sorely pressed at
times to devise ways and means by which to gratify their
predilections for their favorite beverage. Roasted peas
and chickory, corn meal and molasses mixed and burned
until black, wheat and rye; each had enthusiastic admirers
as substitutes for coffee.

The merits of the several compounds were freely discussed when a friend dropped in at meal time, or for
friendly visits which were more frequent in those days
than at the present time.

Dancing was the principal amusement in which
the people engaged up to about the year 1865, and the
dancers were principally married couples. Babies were
tucked up and laid around in the corners on chairs and
benches, and do please hold my baby this et and Ill hold
yours the next is the way they managed the little innocents at such times.

Michael Humphrey, an early settler, told the
story of his grandfather, John Johns, shooting a bear
in the Des Moines River a short distance north of where
Lehigh now stands.

Mother and I saw the bear first while we were
washing clothes. He came out of the thicket, lurched
down to the stream and started poking about for clams. I
ran back as fast as I could for Grandfather. He came and
shot the bear with his old Muzzle loader from a distance

of fifty yards. The bear was young, but the quarter Grandfather gave us weighed nearly 100 pounds.

Pioneer mothers and their children washed their
clothes along the river. They hung the kettle on a tripod
and filled it with river water. It was our job to keep the
fire going while mother washed. This was in 1863.

SV JH girls win;
get good performances

It was a great night of Basketball for the Southeast Valley JH Girls who played at Pomeroy vs PAC.
The 7th grade came away with a thrilling 20-19 victory
behind and outstanding team effort with Haley Welter
leading the way with 10 points.

The Jags received outstanding effort in the guard
court from the trio of Madison Doyle and Sadie Nelson
and Ryann Shipley and very dominate post play from
Kyleigh Erritt who chipped in 6 points.

The Jags also received outstanding bench play
from the duo of Carly Davis and Jayden Gardapee which
resulted in one heck of a team effort and hard fought victory. The 7th grade is now 3-3 on the season.

The 8th grade continued their solid play with a
39-27 victory with Sydney Carlson having the hot hand
with 14 points. The Jags received very solid guard play
from the trio of Emily Jaeschke, Chloe Hicks and Emily
Hemmestad.

The Jags also received solid post play from the
trio of Morgan Farnham, Brielle Haub and Riley Nelson.
The Jags also received quality minutes off the bench from
the duo of Addie Correll and Allison Bethel. The 8th
grade improves their record to 5-1 on the season.
