State Park. The Webster County Museum in Otho (515 School St.) will have quilts and local history displays. In Homer there will be more quilts at the site of the annual Homer Threshing Bee. Many quilts on display in Lehigh are locally made. Doug Linn, Lehigh Historical Society, said many of the old tools will be mechanical, i.e., as in threshing or automobile repair. Lehigh will serve pork patty dinners and re-freshments. On Sunday, an estimated 700 vehicles pass through Lehigh as part of Cruise for the Woods. Many stop in Lehigh to enjoy the food and see the quilts and so forth. Doug Linn, Lehigh, has spearheaded this event with his sister Sandi Linn Anderson, Henderson, MN. “We would like to expand this event to other nearby towns like Stratford, Gowrie and Dayton who also have museums,” said Linn.

Emanuel Lutheran Church shows God’s love by doing His work Gathered by the Holy Spirit, Emanuel Lutheran Church started the day of service to the community with worship. With paint, brushes, ladders, and having willing hearts some from the church patrons painted the com-munity center in Dayton. Others church patrons colored and decorated place mats for their sisters and brothers in Christ at the Grandview Care Center to use at meal times. Yet another group from the church, with pen and paper in hand shared thoughts of prayer, courage and hope with our men and women serving in the armed forces. The community also joined in their day of service by donating gently used shoes to Soles for Souls. They then closed the day with a well-deserved and delicious meal put together by Food and Fellowship.

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015 Dayton Review2

Andy Swanson, son of Rev. Julian and Karen Swanson, Dayton, had been working closely with the Governor Rick Perry presidential campaign until a few weeks ago when Perry ended his campaign. Andy was one of the top organizers and staff persons for Governor Rick Perry in Iowa. He had previously worked for the McCain and Romney campaigns and he has also been a staff worker for former Congressman Tom Latham. He also assisted current Congressman David Young when he successfully ran for a congressional seat in 2014. Currently Andy is managing an office for Rep. Young in West Des Moines. A SWG graduate, Andy is a graduate of the Uni-versity of Iowa with a degree in history. And obviously Andy has had a passion for politics. “Andy really cherished his work with Gov. Per-ry,” said his mother Karen. “Andy thought Mr. Perry was a person of high morals and strong character.” One time Governor Perry accompanied Andy to church services at Hope Lutheran in West Des Moines. Hope Lutheran is a mega-church with a membership that exceeds 30,000. “Andy thinks it definitely matters what politi-cians say in public. And to him it is even more important that he knows who these people really are,” said Karen. It is great to see millennials and young peo-ple (such as Andy) involved with the political process. Hopefully millennials will be actively involved in this current presidential election.

The Rev. John Hembre, formerly of Dayton, transferred from the Dayton United Methodist Church to a Methodist Church in Sigourney, IA., about 12 years ago. Pastor Hembre and his wife Judy had served the Dayton and Harourt Methodist Churches for nine years. Pastor John and wife Judy used their consider-able talents in the 1990s to substantially increase the con-greation in Dayton. The attendance in Dayton was often 150 to 200 people on a given Sunday, and this didn’t include 40-50 people who attended a praise and worship service. The Hembres were in Sigourney for about eight years and then John retired and the Hembres moved to Fort Dodge. Today John is the pastor at Epworth United Methodist Church and is doing well. John still has the vigor and ability to deliver a good sermon. He walks to the front of the alter and gives his sermon in a very personal way. The divine “magic” is still there. There was a nice fellowship with food on a re-cent Sunday and I was able to converse with John and Judy in the old sanctuary adjacent and connected to the newer sanctuary. There are beautiful paintings and prints of Methodist historical events that hover over the top of the old sanctuary, including prints of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church. Epworth Church in a town in England is where it all started. We talked about many of the parishioners in Dayton and Harcourt, many of whom have continued to correspond with John and Judy. “What’s the number one problem facing our na-tion right now?,” I asked. “We are on a moral downslide,” he said simply. It was so good to see John and Judy after 12 years. The parishioners seemed happy at Epworth. It is a small congregation but John and Judy are very content.

Corrections In last week’s Sept. 23 edition it was incorrect-ly stated that Reagan Cramer and Cassidy Lambert are the children of Scott and Denise Cramer. Reagan is the daughter of Scott and DeNae Cramer and Cassidy is the daughter of Chad and Chris Lambert. Also, on the Southeast Webster Grand school board it was incorrectly stated that Bethany Rippentrop-Nus is an employee for the SWG school district. Bethany is a staff member at the Southeast Valley High School and is employed by the Prairie Valley School District.

The Swedish Club will be meeting at the Box-holm Community Center on Tuesday, October 7 at 7 pm. Chuck Achter of Ames will be the speaker. Ev-eryone is welcome and there will be a Potluck lunch.

SV Jaguars drop to Newell-Fonda, MNW on Senior Night By Tyler Anderson The Southeast Valley volleyball team had a tough time getting back on track on Thursday evening, dropping two Twin Lakes Conference games to Newell-Fonda and Manson-Northwest Webster on Senior Night. In a triangular hosted by the Jaguars on Home-coming Week, the Mustangs overwhelmed the girls with a score of 3-0. Newell-Fonda (10-11) swept the Jaguars with scores of 25-12, 25-12 and 25-10. While the volleyball team took a quick break, the Mustangs and the Cougars battled in a series of close matches, before Newell-Fonda prevailed 3-2. Before the nightcap, seniors Kearsten Hainz-inger, Aaliyah Scott, Mallory Strutzenberg and Cassie Zinnel were honored by Southeast Valley. Sophomore Dooter Aondoakaa, junior Dian Puspitaningrum and senior Sina Schmid were also hon-ored. Grant and Staci Gibbons are the host family for Aondoakaa, Don and Lisa Klatt are the host family for Puspitaningrum and Schmid’s host family was Dan and Emily Ford. After the ceremony, the Jaguars fell to Manson-Northwest Webster, 2-0. The Cougars (13-7) defeated the girls by scores of 25-19 and 25-12. The two losses drops Southeast Valley down to 6-14 thus far in the 2015 season. They will travel to Og-den (4-16) on Monday, Sept. 28 before heading to 13th ranked East Sac County (18-7) on Oct. 1.

Southeast Valley’s Homecoming...was a blast! Whoa, whoa! Tyler here for another edition of Tyler’s Take, the coolest column this side of Webster County. Okay, maybe I’m overreaching on that one. I’ve remained busy, even with the change of colors and weather. This is all good, because I’d gladly trade sweating and sweltering in the hot weather for pull-ing on my favorite fleece. I can’t tell you how much I love fleece. It’s a sign of me growing up or something, I don’t know. But what keeps me from getting old is seeing all of the Homecoming activities that took place this past week. There are a lot of things that have remained the same, like school spirit while the Southeast Webster-Grand, Prairie Valley and Southeast Valley schools have since added in some new wrinkles since my time in Burn-side. The color teal is dominating the landscape, with ferocious felines replacing eagles and knight-like war-riors. Teal alongside red, white and blue somehow just seems to work. Another thing that sticks out to me, in a good way, has been how Homecoming has been spaced to take place over the entire week. It started with powderpuff football on Sunday, which had a pork burger supper that gave to the Wounded Warrior and Honor Flight causes. Congrats on winning this year, Seniors. Great work out there. Next were the wacky clothing days. That’s been a staple for as long as I remember, though I never re-ally got into it as much as my peers at Southeast Webster High School. Now, before there is some judgement passed down onto me for not being “spirited” enough during my younger years, hear me out. Just because someone doesn’t take part in the weirdly dressed days, sport clothes in the school’s re-spective colors or rock endless amounts of “Jag Swag” doesn’t exactly mean that they absolutely detest the school or lack in the school spirit department. To all of my middle school and high school

readers, the pre-teen and teenage years are ones where you’re beginning to balance conformity and identity. Also, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I sup-ported my school through other means, or just didn’t know the people or had the revenue to gain access the cool stuff. That reminds me, I need to get me one of those sweet Southeast Valley baseball hats in the near future. I’m sure Coach Brad and Coach Bryan can furnish me one by next summer. Getting back on topic here, there are also other factors as well, but I’m going to take off of my soapbox for now. It’s cool to jump on and spout at times, but like drinking soda pop, it needs to be used in moderation. On Wednesday, there was the decoration of win-dows on local businesses. To those who had the free time to paint Gowrie up in patriotic colors, jaguar paw prints and predictions for the Southeast Valley-West Central Valley game, this journalist approves. Two thumbs way up on the effort and hard work. Next year, I’ll see if we can get the windows of The Gowrie News decked out for Homecoming. That’d be cool, wouldn’t it? Moving on, there was the “Dress a Teacher up” assembly. Man, was that great. Lisa Peterson transforming into Lady Liberty for the event was great. Also, I loved the Eagle because America. Actually, it was hard to choose who my favorite was, because Sharon Jaeschke was great in her camou-flage attire and Jeff Krause was a stellar Uncle Sam. Before I keep rolling along, I want to thank Sherry Vogel for providing me the info and invite. She’s pretty awesome. Speeding up here, Dayton Elementary had a great pep rally involving the cheerleaders and the foot-ball players as the JV football team had a great win over Pocahontas on Thursday, shutting out the Indians by the score of 31-0. Expect Kyler Jondle and Nyles Johnson to be big-time players for future Southeast Valley football teams. Bummer for the varsity volleyball team though. They dropped two tough ones to Newell-Fonda and Man-son-Northwest Webster on Senior Night. However, I have optimism for Coach Renae Baugh and her coaching staff. Give them a little time to mold the team and the Jaguars will be just fine. Lastly, Friday saw a great Homecoming Parade, Pep Rally, a new Homecoming King and Queen and the Jaguars get back on the winning track by dismantling West Central Valley. Next up will be a road trip to Carroll, where

Coach Mike Swieter and his team will take care of busi-ness. Expect this team to go at least 7-2 and gain an-other playoff berth. Despite the injuries sustained, the boys are that talented. Overall, I want to give kudos to all of the South-east Valley students, teachers and staff for putting on a great Homecoming. This may sound a little biased, but hey…it’s a column, so I can get away with this one. Go Jaguars!

SV JVR football team shuts out Pocahontas The Southeast Valley junior varsity reserve football team had a great showing during Homecoming Week, defeating Pocahontas Area, 31-0 on Thursday, Sept. 24 in Gowrie. Freshman Kyler Jondle scored the first two Jag-uar touchdowns on the ground, while the defense held the Indians scoreless and forced Pocahontas to commit two turnovers. Sophomore Daven Rees struck paydirt twice and freshman Nyles Johnson hauled in a touchdown for the Jaguars. The Jaguars JVR will host Ogden on Thursday, Oct. 1.

By Tyler Anderson We fight. Those are the words that Head Coach Mike Swi-eter and the Southeast Valley football team lives by and rallies around on a daily basis. After the gut-wrenching loss to Shenandoah on Sept. 18, the Jaguars responded by decimating Class 2A-District 8 foe West Central Valley 66-0 in front of a jam packed crowd on Friday evening in Gowrie. “Every single kid who stepped on the field be-lieved in two words, ‘We fight,’” Swieter said of the vic-tory. “That is the way we must play every play. I am very proud of all the boys after a tough loss last week, and very proud of the very proud of the defense in getting their goose egg.” The Jaguars (4-1) capped their Homecoming Week with a huge win over the Wildcats (0-5), and will enter a four game stretch with three road games com-pared to one home date in Gowrie. Southeast Valley also moves to 2-0 all-time in Homecoming games and 4-0 all-time when scoring 35 points or more. The game began with plenty of fanfare for Southeast Valley, as a spirited Jaguar squad set the tone of the game with two rushing touchdowns from junior running back Aaron Swieter and sophomore running back Kaleb Jondle. “It was a great team effort,” Swieter said. “We scored on every possession and never had to punt.” The defense also took advantage of the pass-happy playbook of the Wildcats, as junior Alex Pliner snatched a deflected pass for an interception. Along with shutting down West Central Val-ley’s passing game, the Jaguars defensive unit limited the Wildcats into negative yardage rushing the football. The scoring kept coming, highlighted by junior quarterback Myles Davis making his return known with a bubble screen pass to senior Cade King, who converted the play into a 75 yard touchdown. King also hauled in an interception for the Jag-uars, returning 52 yards for a touchdown. By halftime, the Jaguars built up a 47-0 lead over the Wildcats, an advantage that enabled the “mercy rule” to come into effect. Despite the mercy rule, the Jag-uars remained dominant on both sides of the ball. Even the reserves had a chance to shine, as freshman Nyles Johnson returned an interception for 48 yards and resulted in a Southeast Valley score. After the final whistle, Southeast Valley came away with a strong 66-0 victory. “I would like to thank all the fans for coming out and supporting the boys,” Swieter said. “There’s nothing better than seeing them cheer with you after the win.” Southeast Valley was led by both junior quar-terbacks Nolan Brand and Myles Davis, as junior Aaron Swieter and King led the way in rushing and receiving respectively.

Brand was 6-7 for 62 yards and one touchdown, while Davis was a perfect 6-6 for 144 yards and one touchdown. Swieter earned his second century mark in rush-ing thus far this year, leading the stable of nine Jaguar rushers with 106 yards rushing and three touchdowns in 14 attempts. Jondle rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns on seven attempts, followed by senior Carter Steck’s 60 yards and one touchdown on eight attempts. King led the Jags with 119 yards and one touch-down on four receptions. Junior Dakota Jaeschke tallied 53 yards on four receptions, followed by 2015 Home-coming King Conner Conrad’s 25 yards on three catches. Junior Keegan Goodwin also added nine yards on one reception, along with a touchdown for the winning cause. Defensively, senior Keaton Jondle led Southeast Valley with six total tackles with three solo tackles as fellow senior Logan Boerner was close behind with 4.5 tackles, including three assisted tackles for a loss. Six other Jaguar defenders also tallied assisted tackles for a loss, while junior Sam Berglund hauled in the lone solo tackle for a loss. The Jaguars will aim to resume their winning ways, traveling on Friday, Oct. 2 to Carroll to battle Kue-mper Catholic. The Knights (2-3) defeated Red Oak (2-3) on the road, 31-14.

Down Memory LaneB Y S A R A D O W N S

The other day as my cart and I were rounding the corner of an aisle at Walmart I noticed a fellow standing with his back to me and head bent as if in prayer. Advancing a bit further I noticed he did have a modern “idol” in his hand. He was either texting or playing a game. I had to give him credit for trying to step aside as much out of the way as pos-sible rather than continue walking and bumping into other shoppers. Recalling this incident jogged me into remember-ing games of my childhood and/or those of my children’s generation too. Many of those games required no apparatus except either a piece of paper and a pencil (or chalk board and chalk) or a deck of cards. Do any kids play tic tac toe or hangman now? Do they even know what they are? How about the number of games played with an ordinary deck of cards? One person could play the simple game of solitaire. Now solitaire be played on the computer with many, many varia-tions. I even do that and can’t remember when I have had an actual deck of cards in hand and I think I may know where a deck or two and my cribbage board are stashed. Cribbage! That’s a good game. My husband taught me to play and we played many games as there was little money for going out of the house entertainment. I think most

Games People Play...of our children learned to play and it’s a good way to teach elementary “ciphering”. I haven’t played a game in years but it seemed the fellas who most interested me when I became single again were cribbage players. In childhood there were the rummy games which any age could enjoy. A more so-phisticated form was gin rummy which was most often ac-companied by wagers. We played plain rummy. How about hearts? Wasn’t Old Maid a child’s version or a similar game played with pictures, one of which was the old maid you didn’t want to get caught with at the end of the game? There was slap jack and then I remember my cousin visiting and asking if I’d like to play a game of 52 Pickup. She was holding a deck of cards in hand and I said I’d like to learn and headed for the table but before I could take the first step she threw them on the floor and said “52 cards! Pick ‘em up!” So I tried to take my turn at that with others and some-times I “got” them but a few times one would say “sure” and grab the deck from me and toss it down, saying “gotcha”! I’d almost wager that most youngsters would not know what I was talking about if I mentioned that once popu-lar favorite of Boxholm town and rural residents of the 30’s and 40’s always played at get-togethers – Rook. I’d have to read the rules again but feel would relearn quickly. Some people liked pitch, pinochle, bridge and 500 and probably even poker. I haven’t heard of anyone playing pinochle or 500 for years. Virginia and her dad tried several times to teach me pinochle. Never learned. They didn’t even attempt to get me going on bridge though her dad and mom were in a couple’s group who played on a regular basis. I think that bridge is still popular in some circles and poker definitely but a lot of boys’ night and back room games have switched to the casinos for REAL money, no penny anti high school stuff. Just about every household had a checker board and all ages played. I liked the game but not seriously. Chess was not one many people played “in my day” and even later I had no interest in it. It seems like a “brainy and dedicated” game. How about Chinese checkers? That was one game that almost every household had. Another board game I re-ceived for Christmas one year was “The Game of India” that I learned later was probably another manufacturer’s way of marketing a more reasonably priced game of Parchesi which was appreciated in those come out of the depression years. I never had a set of dominoes and that must have been because neither my mom nor dad played or if they did had no time to sit with me and teach me. In my early mar-ried years my mother in law loved the game and always tried to get her grandkids to play with her. She came from an “old country Norwegian” home and background and had some strange terminology, both parents having immigrated from Norway. When playing a game with the grandkids she would always want to know whose “term” it was. Do you have similar memories? Do you feel like getting out the checker board or cribbage board or----?

Dayton Dreamers hold September meeting at Dayton Golf Course By Alice Johnson Our meeting day, Thursday, September 17th, be-gan with thunderstorms rolling through our area. However, by 11 a.m., the skies had cleared and 14 Dayton Dreamers members and four guests made their way to the Dayton Golf Course restaurant for lunch. After the table grace was said, we went through the buffet which consisted of smoked pork on a bun, potato wedges, potato salad, macaroni salad and a choice of bever-age. President Bonnie Reck introduced our guests Mari-ann Phillips of Callender and her mother, Judy Dahlhauser, Linda and Willard Haglund of Dayton. They were welcomed into our group. We then sung Happy Birthday to Evelyn Patterson from Stratford who celebrated her 90th birthday on Sept. 5th. She shared her birthday cake with us for our dessert. Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, Oc-tober 15th, at the Dayton Community Center. Member Lee Fredrickson offered to cater the meal. It will consist of baked ham, vegetable dishes, rel-ishes and a dessert. Beverages will be furnished. We welcome all area seniors age 55 years and over to attend our meetings. They are held at noon every third Thursday of the month at the Dayton Community Center. The cost of the meal is $6. No membership dues are required. For reservations, please call either President Reck at 547-2948 or Secretary Johnson at 359-2630. The Dayton Dreamers hope to see you then. Next, President Reck brought up some information of interest to our group which she obtained from the Dayton Community Club, which she attended recently. She suggested that one should check the local newspaper for the various dates of upcoming events. Because there is a need for donations to help on the cost of air-conditioning and a bathroom at the Dayton Museum, a motion was made, seconded and passed that we donate the amount of $100 to the museum for that purpose. After a time of visiting among our group, a mo-tion was made, seconded and passed that the meeting be ad-journed.

SV FFA Members attend North Central District Conferenceat Iowa Central Community College...

Mason Bahr, Jaden Cline, Collin Nordin, and Travis Jones participated in the N.C. FFA District Soils Career Development Event in Fort Dodge.

By Steve Kehoe The annual Soils Career Development Event was held Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2015 at Iowa Central Community College. There were 25 FFA chapters present with more than 210 members who competed in this event. The Cen-tral Plains FFA chapter had four students compete. The team ended up 15th overall. The top five teams advance to the state level.

Evaluating soils for the local chapter were: Mason Bahr Jaden Cline, Travis Jones, and Collin Nordin. The top five teams from the district were: AG-WSR (Ackley), Colo-Nesco, Algona, Osage, and Boone A&M. The students evaluated the properties of soils and used that information to determine land use recom-mendations. They took a written exam and examined four soil sites.

Iowa Central Community College welcomed FFA chapters from all over the district on Wednesday, Sept. 23. While at Iowa Central Community College on Wednesday, district and state officers lead four interac-tive workshops for the first year high school FFA mem-bers, also known as Greenhands, for the annual Green-hand Fire-Up Conference. The workshop presented were leadership fo-cused in the areas of communication, managing priori-ties, SMART goals, and authenticity. “Greenhand Fire-Up provides a chance for first year FFA members to get a sneak peek of the opportuni-ties that FFA holds, and is a conference for members to meet and interact with state and district officers,” said Michael Tupper, the Iowa FFA President. This year, the officers prepared and facilitat-ed workshops of communication, managing priorities, SMART goals, and authenticity – in order to provide the first –year FFA members with skills they would use both within and outside of FFA. The goal was to engage FFA members in learn-ing about the tools that would allow them to be success-ful in anything they are part of through high school and beyond. The North Central District has more than 42 ac-tive FFA chapters, and there were more than 400 students at this year’s conference.

Farm safety tips will help ensure protection for allduring harvest season This is Farm Safety Week in Iowa and across the nation and farm safety tips have been given to children, tens, parents and grandparents.Children safety tips Don’t ask to ride along in tractors. Even though it’s fun, passengers on a tractor can interfere with safe operation of machinery. Always get permission to visit a parent or adult while they are working on machinery, and remain in a visible area to ensure the adult sees you. Blind spots cre-ate dangerous conditions when machinery is in use. Be cautious when handling or feeding animals, and only enter pens that have been approved by your par-ents. Livestock can be unpredictable.Teen safety issues Only use a cell phone when not working, but keep it close in case of emergency. Cell phones can be a lifesaver or a deadly distraction. Be informed on child labor laws. Teens can only work in certain situations under legal guardians.Be a role model and demonstrate safe behavior on the farm. Siblings and younger children look up to and take pride in older children and teenagers.Parent safety measures Keep the rollover protection structures (ROPS) in the upright position and always wear a seatbelt to pre-vent a tractor rollover injury or fatality. Tractor rollovers represented nearly half of all of Illinois fatalities last year, so the ROPS should only be folded down in low-clear-ance areas and when absolutely necessary. Always wear hearing protection – such as ear plugs or protective ear muffs – to protect from hearing loss. It only takes 2 hours for an open cab tractor to be-come dangerous to the human ear without proper hearing protection.Schedule enough time for sleep. Lack of sleep inhibits productivity and memory, and slows response time.Grandparents Think about your actions. Unsafe actions don’t always result in harm, but the risk isn’t worth it. Recognize personal health and safety to avoid injury. Take caution when lifting heavy items or climbing in unsafe areas. If something looks dangerous or unpre-dictable, don’t do it. Keep a cell phone handy at all times in case of emergency. Cell phones allow for easy access when help is needed.

By Charles and Marie Dayton “The use of history is to give value to the present hour.” It may seem presumptuous to quote the immortal Emerson when he was referring to the history of nations. But then the history of nations is made up of thousands of communities -large and small. Lehigh, Iowa is one of those small communities, one of the most unique in its founding and development. Like the river that flowers through this Des Moines River Valley town, it has its ups and downs, its peaks and reces-sions, but for the most part, it has maintained its character - a character which it exemplifies in a statement by an old timer. He said “If the sun sets on you while you are in Lehigh, you never forget it.” I should like to add that if the sun sets on you in Lehigh you will always be a part of it. It is a close-knit community with an atmosphere of friendliness. For several years , wife Marie and I have been toying with the idea of writing about Lehigh, the place where I grew up. While my parents were still living, we spent our vacations there on the little farm a mile south of Lehigh on the east side of the river. Marie and our four boys learned to love it as I did. When our oldest son, Charles Jr., was eight he platted a spot on the hillside above my parent’s’ home where he said we should build our house. He gathered stones and placed them in rowers outlining the entire structure. It was a beautiful spot overlooking the wooded valley and the river. Well, after retirement, we went to Lehigh, not really knowing what we were looking for or going to do. We started our research hoping to find something to give us direction. After the word got around that we were do-ing research on Lehigh, old friends and acquaintances greeted me with “Oh, I understand you are writing a his-

tory book on Lehigh.” When our niece, Roberta Lindstrom, asked why we were writing about Lehigh I told her I was reminded of a time when I was a college freshman and a group of Lombard College in Galesburg, Illi-nois went to a nearby lake to go swimming. There was a high diving tower near the cen-ter of the small lake. It seemed that it would pres-ent a good view of the countryside, so I decided to climb it. It was great, but then a guard yelled “Man on the tower - clear the area.” Everyone moved out and turned to watch the “splash.” I was too embarrassed to retreat and too frightened to jump. I jumped. It hurt, but pro-

Former Lehigh resident retires, comes back to home town to write its history

vided a great deal of satisfaction. So - like that time on the diving tower - with some people looking on and expecting us to do something - we took the plunge not knowing what the result might be, but hoping to record a “Long Look at Lehigh.” Then, if by some miraculous manipulation of time-lapse photography and time-telepathic communi-cation, one could tune in on each successive period of growth and development, writing these historical sketch-es would be a relatively simple matter. However, without these fanciful sources of information we did the next best thing. We interviewed a number of people, researched Lehigh newspapers from 1886 to 1937, and scanned through a few hundred issues of Fort Dodge papers. Oth-er sources were obituaries, biographies, family histories, school and church histories, histories of Webster County, Geological Surveys, and Mining Engineer Reports. This is a saga of a small mid-western town that blossomed (not boomed): population in 1884, one year after incorporating - 850. Population in 1976 - 850. Somewhere along the line Lehigh claimed 3000 resi-dents. In these sketches we have attempted to record events and activities which affected the lives of people and the development of the community from the time the first settlers arrived in 1849 to 1976, with emphasis on the early years. When roaming the area perhaps the al-most forgotten will come to life again - Slab Town, the old business district, the abandoned clay products plants, the old coal mines, Boone Forks, Homer, Border Plains. If you gain more familiar acquaintance with these the purpose of our writing will be fulfilled. In the weeks and months ahead we will fea-ture some of the stories from this book on Lehigh his-tory.

Sunlight and shadow... We have once again come to my favorite season, autumn, and I am constantly thrilled to see the different colors and to feel the cooler temperatures and to embrace a different schedule. Autumn is beautiful in many ways, not the least of which, are the leaves as they turn orange and red and gold right before our very eyes. Of course, it is wise to enjoy them now, for soon, they will be gone and we will be in the midst of shades of grey and endeavoring to keep warm in the icy weather. One day, as I was taking a moment to enjoy the splendor of the leaves, a thought apart from the colors came to my mind. I watched as they danced back and forth in the breeze and as they moved, I realized that sometimes I was covered in sunlight, and then the shadows from the leaves would be upon me. The sunlight most generally can be warm and bright and it comforts me as I regale in its beams. The shadows bring relief from the heat of the sun and allow the breeze to feel more effective. Both have their advantages. It can also be said that the sun can burn and blind just as the shadows can seem dark and create fear. Our daily lives are much like these dancing leaves. One day we are enjoying the sunlight and dread-

ing the shadows, and on another, we seek the shadows for refuge from that same comforting sun. We are not as complex as we believe ourselves to be. We all long for comfort and work to avoid things that are not comfortable. Simply put, we are human and nothing is going to change that. What I would propose with this message, is that we try to see the good in both sunlight and shadow. Just as the leaves dance across my vision, neither being better or worse than the other, so should the events of our lives be. This is not to say that we won’t have happy times and sad times and everything in between. All I am saying is to learn to appreciate each event for what it brings to our lives. We must embrace the education that they bring to our hearts and let our hearts burst with joy instead of crumple like a wilting flower. Emily Bronte wrote a poem which starts with these lines: “Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree…” Of course there is more, but these words speak to my soul in the sense that thinking one thing is ending and another thing is beginning is the wrong way to look at the situation. We must linger in the moment and appreciate everything that brought us there. Moreover, we should look to God to help us to enjoy every sunny and shadowy moment. In Psalm 36: 7, it says, “How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.” We are loved, moment by moment and season after season.

Former Lehigh resident retires, comes back to home town to write its history

vided a great deal of satisfaction. So - like that time on the diving tower - with some people looking on and expecting us to do something - we took the plunge not knowing what the result might be, but hoping to record a “Long Look at Lehigh.” Then, if by some miraculous manipulation of time-lapse photography and time-telepathic communi-cation, one could tune in on each successive period of growth and development, writing these historical sketch-es would be a relatively simple matter. However, without these fanciful sources of information we did the next best thing. We interviewed a number of people, researched Lehigh newspapers from 1886 to 1937, and scanned through a few hundred issues of Fort Dodge papers. Oth-er sources were obituaries, biographies, family histories, school and church histories, histories of Webster County, Geological Surveys, and Mining Engineer Reports. This is a saga of a small mid-western town that blossomed (not boomed): population in 1884, one year after incorporating - 850. Population in 1976 - 850. Somewhere along the line Lehigh claimed 3000 resi-dents. In these sketches we have attempted to record events and activities which affected the lives of people and the development of the community from the time the first settlers arrived in 1849 to 1976, with emphasis on the early years. When roaming the area perhaps the al-most forgotten will come to life again - Slab Town, the old business district, the abandoned clay products plants, the old coal mines, Boone Forks, Homer, Border Plains. If you gain more familiar acquaintance with these the purpose of our writing will be fulfilled. In the weeks and months ahead we will fea-ture some of the stories from this book on Lehigh his-tory.

ing the shadows, and on another, we seek the shadows for refuge from that same comforting sun. We are not as complex as we believe ourselves to be. We all long for comfort and work to avoid things that are not comfortable. Simply put, we are human and nothing is going to change that. What I would propose with this message, is that we try to see the good in both sunlight and shadow. Just as the leaves dance across my vision, neither being better or worse than the other, so should the events of our lives be. This is not to say that we won’t have happy times and sad times and everything in between. All I am saying is to learn to appreciate each event for what it brings to our lives. We must embrace the education that they bring to our hearts and let our hearts burst with joy instead of crumple like a wilting flower. Emily Bronte wrote a poem which starts with these lines: “Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree…” Of course there is more, but these words speak to my soul in the sense that thinking one thing is ending and another thing is beginning is the wrong way to look at the situation. We must linger in the moment and appreciate everything that brought us there. Moreover, we should look to God to help us to enjoy every sunny and shadowy moment. In Psalm 36: 7, it says, “How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.” We are loved, moment by moment and season after season.

Southeast Valley 8th grade football team defeats Ogden 28-6, 7th graders fall 14-8By Jeff Miller

The 7th/8th grade Jaguar football team opened their season on Thursday, Sept. 10 at Ogden. Usually the 7th grade plays first, 8th grade second but Ogden school rules plays 8th grade first. In a bit of revenge from the previous year's loss in the last seconds of the game, the 8th graders imposed their will on the Bulldogs and scored a convincing 28-6 win. Carter Lane opened the scoring with a 12 yard scamper up the middle for a 6-0 lead. Hunter Kruse ran a QB sweep for the two point conversion making the score 8-0. After a good defensive stand, Hunter Kruse hit Chase Sweiter for 22 yard pass completion. Hunter Kruse added the two points on another QB sweep putting the score at 16-0. After halftime, the Jags wore down a bit after a sustained drive by the Bulldogs making the score, 16-6. The Jag offense answered with a swing pass from Hunter Kruse to Ross Halligan, who scampered down the side-line for a 50 yard TD run making the score, 22-6. The Jags put the icing on the cake with a four yard TD run by Calvin Williamson putting the score at 28-6. After the 8th grade game, the Southeast Valley 7th graders got their first taste of junior high football. Af-ter a tough battle, the Jags came up a bit short, 14-8. After a couple of defensive stands, the Jaguars struck first with a 60 yard TD toss to Memphis Simpson from quarterback Sam Hanson. Hanson added the two point conversion making the score 8-0. The Ogden offense scored right before half knotting the score at 8-8. The offense stalled in the sec-ond half while the Ogden offense hit an outside pass for the go ahead lead.

Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2015Dayton Review 11

By Jill Viles Greg Slininger, a fifth grade teacher for the district, explained more about an incentive program for teachers entitled TLC, Teacher Leadership Compensa-tion. TLC is a state funded program designed to identify teachers who excel in the classroom, and entice exceptional candidates for hire. Yearly bonuses up to $7,000 are awarded to outstanding teachers. He indicated this is a “really positive program that provides educators a framework for collaboration.” He explained that during staff development days, teach-ers from both districts have been exploring professional learning communities in an effort to provide construc-tive feedback and guidance as to improve teacher perfor-mance. He stated that an overall goal of this initiative is to “help attract and retain good teachers with financial incen-tives.” Slininger explained that the teachers do not plan to copy any other district’s plan to the letter, but rather study school districts with similar demographics and then tailor the program to meet our individual district’s needs. “I’m pretty excited,” said Slininger. “I believe this program will be positive.” Slininger discussed the supporting documentation of the planning committee hop-ing to implement the program, but emphasized their pro-posal was a “living document that can change.” “If there are concerns, we can amend this,” in-dicated Slininger. “We haven’t traveled this road before. Once we get to an obstacle in the road, we can change things.” Slininger explained he hasn’t heard anything par-ticularly negative from educators, but they have voiced some general questions. However, John Field raised a concern. “Where has this been used previously?” Slininger indicated the program has only been implemented in Iowa for the past two years, but Massachu-setts has utilized this initiative program for approximately ten years. Additionally, board member, Joe Harrision, raised questions about funding. “We have a fickle legisla-ture. What happens if they [the legislators] pull the rug out from under us?” Slininger suggested that if the worst happened and funding was vetoed, “at least the district would have a framework to build upon.” Board member, Heidi McGuire concurred. “An overall goal is that teacher incentives become the culture here.” Additionally, Irwin indicated the program does not have a sunset clause as does the one cent tax increase. “That’s a good sign,” she emphasized. “This is not an evaluation process,” explained social studies teacher, Rippentrop-Nuss, a member of the committee hoping to adopt TLC. “The purpose of this pro-

Teacher Leadership Compensation explainedat Prairie Valley School Board meetingBonuses for teachers in new state program. . .

gram is to provide coaching to teachers.” When asked what the main drawback to imple-menting a program such as this, it was indicated that school districts don’t stick with the program long enough to deter-mine if it is making a tangible difference. Jim Duncan, principal of Prairie Valley Elemen-tary agrees. “When we have professional development days for teachers, we don’t cover a new strategy once and then expect the teachers to do it; that doesn’t work.” He suggested new strategies must be implemented and amended in small breakout sessions as well as with direct instruction. “Who gets to pick which teacher receives these stipends?” inquired board president Miller. He raised the concern that in a small school district, such as the Prairie Valley School District, perhaps half of the teachers would be earning incentives in a given year, and half would not. He expressed concerns this may lead to in-fighting among teachers. However, Slininger explained the TLC com-mittee would be made up of teachers and administrators with equal representation from both school districts. Ad-ditionally, it was noted that application for these stipends involves a rigorous application process and many teachers may not want to take this on. However, the district must secure at least 25% of teachers in the application process for TLC to move forward. Also, every incentive must be reapplied for each academic year. It was also indicated that three full time teachers must be reallocated from their current positions to admin-istrate the program. “This is the most controversial part of TLC,” Irwin remarked, candidly. She also raised the concern that a teacher may be hired to fill in for this teacher as they serve on TLC implementation, but what happens to this person as the veteran teacher returns from assignment as part of TLC. Are they let go? Reassigned?“We want results,” explained Gary Welter. “The only way we can gauge if this incentive program is truly working, is to see a rise in student achievement.” “The one thing I am 100 percent sure of is that changes will need to be made,” said Slininger. However, Irwin indicated this may be difficult. “Once you put some-thing in writing, changing it can be difficult.” A final concern suggested was that the TLC pro-gram does not include associates and support staff, and the issue was raised these persons may feel excluded.

Students testing In less pressing agenda, it was indicated that students will participate in district wide needs assess-ment testing between Oct. 14 and October 28. Addition-ally, the board voted to go forward with the proposed tax levy that was approved by voters earlier this spring. Additionally shared positions between the two school districts were approved. These include: Lisa Willard-son-- human resources;Terry Pautsch-- transportation management;MaChelle Showers--operations and mainte-nance management; Lois Irwin--curriculum director; Jen-nifer Eckert--school counselor.

Gym membershipsavailable to residents Gym memberships at the high school, including the weight room and practice gym, are available to resi-dents of the school district. Usage is up about 30% over last year, and currently 58 households have purchased memberships. Two companies, including John Deere, pay for employee memberships and provide incentives to those who work out frequently. Initially there were concerns
