Southeast Valley student

issues resolved affirms
Principal Henrich

Teacher Leadership Compensation Conference...

Teachers and administrators from both Prarie Valley and Southeast Webster Grand School districts attended a
TLC conference in June to prepare for implementation of the TLC grant.

SWG and PV school districts

participate in TLC Conference

Beginning this year, the Southeast WebsterGrand and Prairie Valley Community school districts
are participating in the Teacher Leadership and Compensation System reward grant developed and awarded
through the Iowa Department of Education. The grants
were written by a team of educators from both districts
and were approved for implementation in the 2016-2017
school year. Although two separate grants were submitted, the plan is being implemented together as the shared

Southeast Valley Schools.

According to the Iowa Department of Education (DOE) website, the philosophy of the system is to
improve student learning by improving instruction. The
route to this improvement is in empowering the best
teachers to lead staff in collaboration efforts. Other goals
of the grant include attracting promising new teachers, re-

No new leads in unsolved Roger Brown

murder case; still active case in county
One year anniversary of Dayton murder case. . .
By Glenn Schreiber

About one year ago Roger Brown, Dayton, was
found murdered in his camper home in west Dayton.

Roger was well known in Dayton and he had
few if any enemies.

There were some leads back in October of 2015
in the Roger Brown murder case. The Webster County
Sheriffs Department was conducting the investigation.

No one was ever charged in this case. At the
time the Sheriff Department was investigating many
leads in the case.

People who have information on the Roger
Brown murder should call the Sheriffs Department
at 515-573-1410 or Crime Stoppers at 515-573-1444.
There continues to be a sizable reward offered in this
case.

The Dayton Review did call Sheriff Stubbs
about this matter last week. We dont have any new information on the Roger Brown case, said Sheriff Stubbs.
It is still an active investigation. We would hope that
we do get a lead that will help us.

Back in October of 2015 Sheriff Jim Stubbs acknowledged that there were many rumors that were being
investigated. Some rumors may have validity and some
may not, said Stubbs at the time.

At a funeral ceremony at the Dayton UM Church
many people had many fine things to say about Roger.

Roger was a friend to so many people in Dayton.
Roger helped all of us, and we gladly assisted him over
the years too.

And one year later we still miss our dear friend
Roger Brown.

There are some people who believe the person
responsible for this crime was living in this vicinity at the
time. Roger lived in his obscure location in west Dayton
, an area outsiders would not really know about.

The Southeast Valley High School had a few
initial issues at the school but those problems have been
resolved affirmed Principal Jim Henrich.

A few early issues have been resolved as SV
worked closely with Gowrie Police Chief Monaghan and
the City of Gowrie.

The Gowrie Police Department was called
twice in our first three weeks or so of school, affirmed
Henrich. But everything has been fine since then. Those
few early issues have been resolved.

Police Chief Monaghan routinely makes his
presence known around the Southeast Valley High
School after school closes at 3:20 p.m. He is at or near
the high school or in the immediate vicinity of the school
after school closing time.

SV Principal Henrich stated that he has been a
high school principal for 15 years and this is his third
year at Southeast Valley. I have been in other communities where weve had similar experiences, said Henrich.
We have 370 students in our Southeast Valley High
School so occasionally there could be some problems.

Lehigh council member

resigns, faces charge
Twito resigns. . .

Troy Twito resigned as a member of the Lehigh
City Council last week, submitting a letter of resignation
to the Lehigh City Council.

Many Lehigh residents had signed a petition
seeking Twitos resignation following the resignations of
the Lehigh City Clerk and Mayor Paula Martin.

Twito was also charged with a misdemeanor
theft after he allegedly removed an electrical meter in
Lehigh without securing approval from the city of Lehigh.

The Lehigh City Council may approve someone
to fill the council position at their November meeting.

Very busy concert

schedule for Bob Patton. . .

Bob Patton, former publisher of the Gowrie
News, has been super busy with his concert singing.

Bob was back in Gowrie last week but on Friday
he was going on a 10 concert schedule in Nebraska and
South Dakota.

On Nov. 8 Bob will perform at the Civic Center with the Veterans Band in a special Veterans Day
concert. The concert is free although people may make
donations. Bob has been doing this concert since 1991
so this his 25th consecutive year for performing at this
concert.

I have more concerts scheduled now that I no
longer have the Gowrie News, said Bob. I really enjoy
performing and at 67 I am doing well. Bob shows every
indication of staying active in his concert performances.

Dayton Review

Harry Haupt, Oskaloosa, IA., is a fellow veteran
who wrote Bob a very nice letter recently.

Said Harry in his letter:

Dear Robert, I neglected to tell you how
very much I appreciated your singing in the opera More Thank A Man Can Take. Thank you.

I was with the Air Force Band and symphony
from 1960 to 1964 (Colonel Howards tenure).

Harry mentioned
that isnt able to play the
trombone anymore. And he has other issues that he mentioned to Bob.

He finished the letter by saying, Well, I just
wanted you to know I appreciated your singing in the opera. Very, very best wishes. Harry.

Many Webster County and area residents have
either heard about tubing down the Apple River in
Somerset, Wisconsin, or they have been there.

I was recently conversing with my friend Tom
Langford of Hudson who mentioned that Pat Raleigh had
recently passed away. Pat was one member of the Raleigh family that owned and operated the Rivers Edge,
which was a restaurant on the Apple River in Somerset.
The Rivers Edge also had their own tubing business
which included intertube rentals and bus shuttles for the
tubers.

Tom and I reminisced about some of the events
at the Rivers Edge over the years that included Packer
night which was emceed by Don Riley, colorful sports
columnist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Tom was a talk-radio personality for WAVN
Radio in Stillwater, and I had a very short (three minute)
Hudson Report on WAVN Radio back in the day.

Radio has changed so much in recent decades
and local personality radio is difficult to find as radio
homogenization has been a trend towards similar programming within broadcast radio in the United States.

So now there are fewer Tom Langfords around
the nation as news, music, programming and music have
been homogenized after that 1996 act permitted greater
consolidation. And even before that legislation there
had been some movement in that direction.

Im sure many area people recall some local/
area radio personalities of the past, perhaps on WHO or
at some of the stations in Fort Dodge, Boone, or Ames.
For me, I enjoyed Tom and Eddy Carry on WAVN and
then Steve Cannon on WCCO Radio, Twin Cities.

One Callendar area resident called me last
week protesting large hog confinements proposed for the
Callendar area. Two have now been approved.

I dont have any personal objections to hog
buildings and the pork industry in general, said Bill
Bahr. But we already have a large number of hog confinements in our area. He noted that one area farmer
was disturbed by the frequent odors, moved out, and arranged for one family member to live in the home rent
free.

My local slant continued on page 5...

HE SAYS KEEP IN TOUCH.

HE MEANS IT.
Every county. Every year.
Iowans get Chuck Grassleys ear.

Webster County deer, turkey poaching

case closes; county, area people charged
Caught on video; last guilty plea Oct. 7. . .

A nine month investigation into deer and turkey
poaching in Webster County, was closed on Oct. 7, when
Kyle Alstott, 23, of Fort Dodge, the last of the 10 individuals facing charges from Iowa and Nebraska, pleaded
guilty.

In November 2015, Iowa State Conservation
Officer Matt Bruner came across a website run by Alstott
with photos and videos of deer, deer hunts, fishing and
other outdoor activities.

Alstott and Roman Thompson, 22, from Omaha, Neb., are co-owners of ATM Outdoors, an outdoors
/hunting filming company based in Fort Dodge. They
produce photos, videos and deer stories for their website
which is where Officer Bruner began his investigation.

Bruner recognized Kyle Alstott and Michael
Alstott, 44, of Fort Dodge, from photos on the website
as individuals that he charged for hunting over bait in
2011. He began comparing the deer and stories on the
website to licenses the different individuals featured had
purchased in various states.

The information didnt line up.

Officers served multiple search warrants in late
November 2015 and collected phones, computer and video equipment, deer and turkey mounts, meat and equipment used to harvest the game animals.

What Bruner found was, evidence of people
shooting deer without the correct licenses, hunting deer
over bait, making multiple false claims by nonresident for
hunting license/tag, unlawful possession of illegal whitetail deer, hunting with the aid of artificial light, and more.

The 10 individuals were charged in December
2015 and plea deals began in January.

Kyle Alstott pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of illegally killed whitetail buck deer, hunting deer
with aid of bait, hunting with the aid of artificial light,
unlawful use of two-way radio transmitter while hunting, making false claim for hunting license/tag by nonresident, failure to tag harvested deer, failure to report
harvested deer, hunting deer without a valid deer tag, taking whitetail buck without a valid tag, unlawful possession of illegally killed whitetail buck deer in 2014 season
and unlawful possession of illegally killed wild turkey in
2014 season. Kyle Alstott was fined $1,902 and assessed
$4,000 in liquidated damages and restitution.

Roman Thompson pleaded guilty to hunting
without a nonresident hunting license and habitat fee,
hunting without a nonresident antlered deer tag, unlawful use of anothers deer tag, unlawful use of two-way
radio transmitter while hunting, and unlawful possession
of illegally killed whitetail buck deer in 2014 season.
Thompson was fined $1,760 and assessed $2,000 in liquidated damages plus 80 hours of community service.

Michael Alstott pleaded guilty to making a false
report (fraud-fifth degree), hunting deer without a valid
license or tag, unlawful use of two-way radio transmitter
while hunting, unlawful tagging of illegally killed buck

deer, unlawful transportation of deer without tag, taking

doe deer without valid license or tag, and unlawful use of
out of county deer tag. Michael Alstott was fined $1,557.

Randy Vaught, 53, Algona, pleaded guilty to
hunting with aid of artificial light, shooting/discharging
rifle over highway, and failure to report harvested deer.
Vaught was fined $369 and assessed $2,000 in liquidated
damages plus 80 hours of community service.

Tanner Dawson, 20, of Fort Dodge, pleaded
guilty to unlawful taking and possession of whitetail doe
deer and failure to report harvested deer. Dawson was
fined $282 and assessed $1,500 in liquidated damages.

Mariah Thompson, 22, Omaha, Neb., pleaded
guilty to hunting deer without a valid non-resident license
or tag. Mariah Thompson was fined $667.

Matthew Alstott, 44, of Fort Dodge, pleaded
guilty to aiding and abetting a non-resident taking deer
unlawfully and unlawful use of deer tag by another. Matthew Alstott was fined $390.

Travis Miller, 45, of Monroe, pleaded guilty to
hunting with the aid of artificial light and unlawful transportation of illegally taken deer. Miller was fined $390.

Brendon Nicholas, 31, of Fort Dodge, pleaded
guilty to unlawful tagging of whitetail buck deer and failure to report harvested deer. Nicholas was fined $282.

Mike Kenyon, 36, of Clare, pleaded guilty to
failure to report harvested deer. Kenyon was fined $87.

Kyle Alstott, Roman Thompson, Michael
Alstott, Randy Vaught and Tanner Dawson all face license suspension in Iowa and 44 other states that are part
of the wildlife violator compact. Roman and Mariah
Thompson are also facing charges in Nebraska.

The Iowa DNR worked in conjunction with the
Webster County Attorneys Office, Boone County Attorneys Office, Nebraska Game and Parks, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, South Dakota
Game, Fish and Parks, Missouri Department of Conservation, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

How Do You Feel About Yourself?

Someone once said, dont try to keep up with

the Joneses, bring them down to your level its cheaper! It is a tricky situation, for it is something that God
tells us to not to play at all! We tend to fall into a dangerous trap when we start comparing ourselves to others.
The brutal truth is that there will always be someone who
has more than we do. We may enjoy a recently purchased
52 TV when we see in next weeks paper that a 60 will
be out next month. Heres a guarantee in life no matter
what we acquire, somebody, somewhere, is going to have
something newer, shinier and more powerful!

So whats the harm in comparing ourselves to
others? Comparison takes our eyes off the blessings God
puts into our lives. When we compare our things with
others, we get envious and can begin to feel that we deserve more than they do. Comparison cheapens our appreciation for what God has done in our lives, and we can
easily shift from gratitude to envy. God wants us to be
content with how He has blessed us in life. Do we??

Prayer: Lord, help us to be appreciative instead
of envious. Help us to see our blessings. In Jesus Holy
Name, Amen

SV Jaguars roll over Clarinda 50-14;

District title possible with Friday win
Jaguar defense dominates; great rushing attack. . .
By Glenn Schreiber

The Southeast Valley Jaguar football continued
their momentum as they steamrolled over Clarinda 5014 in yet another road victory against a big town team
from Southern Iowa.

The Jags had a commanding 28-6 lead at the
half and never stopped attacking as they scored 14 more
points in the fourth quarter.

Coach Swieter said he was happy this two
week road trip is done and over with after traveling to
Shenandoah and Clarinda back to back.. This was very
hard on the kids but we could not be happier with the
results of each game, said coach Swieter.

Clarinda intercepted a Jag pass on the third play
of the game and then scored after a long 13-play drive.

But Kaleb Jondle had a 45 yard kick return.
Then Kaleb ran for 13 yards, Aaron Swieter 12 and then
Kaleb Jondle scores on a 11 yard run. Nolan Johnson
threw to Dakota Jaeschke for the two point conversion to
give the Jaguars a 8-6 lead. The Jaguars would never trail
again.

After forcing a three and out, the Jags scored on
two plays. Nyles Johnson ran for 14 yards and Kaleb
Jondle raced 55 yards for a touchdown. The Clarinda
fans gulped.

The dominating Jag defense forced another punt
after only three plays, and then Aaron Swieter had runs
of 7, 5, 10 yards before running for four yards for the
touchdown.

After two Jag defensive stops, Nolan Brand hit
Dakota Jaeschke for a 54 yard touchdown. Aaron Swieter ran in the end zone for the two point conversion and
the Jaguars had a commanding 28-6 halftime lead which
they never relinquished.
Jaguar defense,
lines have great game

The offensive and defensive lines for the Jaguars once again controlled the line of scrimmage.

Kyler Jondle led in solo tackles with eight and
he had five assisted tackles. Also having good stats in
those categories were Ryan Gustafson, five solo and four
assisted tackles; Nolan Johnson, four solos and five assisted; and Daven Rees, three solos and five assists.

Defensive tackle Alex Pliner had 10 total tackles
including five assisted and two solo tackles. And Tom
Lennon recorded seven assisted tackles along with a
team high four assisted tackles for a loss.
Jaguars continue
to score in second half

Clarinda executed a nine play drive but the
stubborn Jaguar defense didnt yield any points.

Kaleb Jondle had a 66 yard touchdown run.
Aaron Swieter threw a pass to Ryan Gustafson for a two
point conversion. Coach Swieter promised Aaron one
pass in his career and Aaron took advantage of it.

Clarinda responded with a nine-play scoring
drive. Southeast Valleys offense sputtered, Clarinda
was back on offense, but Aaron Swieter forced a fumble
and recovered the fumble two plays after a Jaguar punt.

Jag coaches happy

with road victory
Our coaches are very happy with the team win

at Clarinda, said coach Swieter. These back to back
weeks have been hard but the boys responded to each
long road trip and brought home very good wins.
Great offensive
numbers for Jaguars

Running behind a great Jaguar line, Kyler Jondle had 170 rushing yards on just nine carries and three
touchdowns. Aaron Swieter had 94 yards and one touchdown.

Quarterback Nolan Brand was 5-8 in passing for
103 yards. Dakota Jaeschke caught four passes for 96
yards and two touchdowns.
Jags finish game
with more scoring

Four plays after an Aaron Swieter fumble recovering, quarterback Nolan Brand hit Dakota Jaeschke
for a 12 yard touchdown pass. Chase Swieter kicked the
extra point and SV had a 43-14 lead at the end of three.

Six plays after the Jaguars forced another punt,
Kyler Jondle ran nine yards for a final Jag touchdown.
Chase Swieter kicked the extra point.
Big showdown

This Jaguar victory sets up a showdown Friday

District title at stake. . .

the line.

If the Jaguars win they will have a 6-1 district
record and they will be tied with Carroll Kuemper and
South Central Calhoun as long as they win also

Central Calhoun would be tied at the end of the season
and all 3 would make the playoffs

The Jaguars are 6-2 overall and 5-1 in District 2A. Their only district loss was to South Central
Calhoun.

The Jaguars have improved significantly since
the start of the season.

It's hard to say goodbye...

I had just finished last weeks column and then
headed to my mail box. As I had hoped, The Review was
there. When I opened it I was a bit surprised to see on the
front page the closing of the Lanyon Covenant Church. It,
in my minds eye, had probably been the binding force in
the Lanyon community for decades. I would read of the
things they were doing, groups coming to the church and
other activities. I had gotten the impression that midst
the dwindling community one stable entity had remained.
Then, I read it is going like so many churches, businesses,
schools of small communities have gone. That is a sad
reality.

My Dad, years ago, said that once a communitys school is gone, the rest of the town will follow. I
have seen that happening in the many once vibrant towns
in the area. I remember as a child going with Dad to
Lanyon to the bank. Yes, they had a thriving bank back
in the mid 1930s early 40s. We lived in the northwest
corner of Boone County so Lanyon was a tad closer than
Boxholm even though Boxholm was the place for school,
church and Saturday night trading.
Lanyon had a grocery store too. Perhaps if Dad were
going anyway Mom might have him pick up something
*Schedule is pulled from the SV website for your convenience*
while there. I know there was a small space in the growww.southeastvalley.org
cery store that was Lanyons Post Office. Mail did not
***Schedules are subject to change at anytime***
come directly to Lanyon but was left at Hope Station and
someone, I suppose a person designated by the USPO,
had to pick it up and likewise take any outgoing mail.
There was a thriving grain elevator in Lanyon and (as

Lake City.

I have written previously about one year attending the Vacation Bible School in Lanyon with our
neighbor girls, the Carlsons. The Carlsons were not only
members but pillars of the Lanyon Mission Covenant
Church (the name I knew it by back then). The Bible
School was not held in the church but in the school and
was very well attended. I think at that time the church
did not have rooms for such an operation. Of course that
wouldnt be allowed these days, would it?

I knew a number of youth in my age category
who attended and graduated from Lanyon High School.
The brick building on the north side of town was well
maintained and seemed quite sturdy. That school was
one of the first in the surrounding rural community to
close. I remember visiting my parents one weekend and
we went for a ride out around the old neighborhoods as
they wanted me to see the changes. Of course farmsteads
were disappearing and then coming into Lanyon we
drove by the school house and I was taken aback. What
had they done to that once beautiful structure? They advised me it was now a hog house and there was actually a
ramp built up to one of the second story windows so they
could use both floors. You can imagine that the once
well kept lawn area was just a common old hog waller.
Later years I was pleased to hear that the operation had
ceased and the building along with it.

The last time I was in Lanyon, which has been
a number of years, everything was closed, gone or as in

Kaitlyn Mary Stewart lives in Callender with her

husband Josh and son Mason.

Kaitlyn has an Associates Degree in Agriculture
Technology and Business Management from Buena
Vista. Before running her bakery full-time she worked
for NEW Cooperative, United Bank of Iowa, and Decker
Truck Line.

She started Hummingbird Confections four years
ago purely by accident. She always loved baking for
friends and family. She learned much of her baking expertise from her Grandma Barrett and her Grandma Espeland. They always encouraged her to bake and try new
things.

One day Coworkers asked her to bake a few items
for them. She gradually got more orders. From the increase in orders a business was born.
Up until this year she was working full time at
other jobs while running her bakery on the side. After her
son Mason was born she decided that this was the perfect
time to dive in and run the business full time. She is currently working out of her licensed home kitchen. When
Kaitlyn is not delivering or taking orders she is spending
time with her family.

County (515-832-9597) or Wright County (515-5323453). Registration deadline is November 9.

A glance into early life in Lehigh

Cindy A. Eslick, in her family history, describes
how in 1849 and 1850 her ancestors and their friends,
fourteen families in all, traveled from Missouri, a fairly
civilized state, to the wild region of Boone Forks. A familiar scene along the way was that of women baking
bread in the rain with umbrellas shielding their small ovens. Their progress was four or five miles on slow days
and up to ten on good days. Every wagon had to have its
stock of herbs and roots for medicine. Six or eight oxen
were hitched to the heavy wagons was they started at sunrise after rising at 4 a.m. Some of the women and children
rode in the wagons, but most of them walked beheld helping drive the cattle.

In the evenings they would gather around the
campfires, read scriptures, argue about religion and politics in the good old Scotch-Irish way, re-live adventures
in Indiana and Missouri, and sing the hymns and folksongs of the frontier.

They arrived at the one-year old settlement at
Boone Forks in 1850. Shelter and food were the vital concerns for those first years as Cindy Eslick wrote:

Most of the settlers built log houses eighteen by
twenty feet with a loft. The floor was made of puncheons
and the chimney was built up six feet high with split timber, lined inside with rocks and mortar made of clay. A
hole four or five inches square was sawed at the bottom
of the door for the cats to go in and out.

Meals consisted of meat, corn, bread, coffee,
greens of the beans, and dried pumpkin they had brought
with them. Pumpkin was a standard article of diet as it
could be cooked with meat, or cooked down into butter.

One way of producing early vegetables, a task
some of us older grandchildren helped with was to burn a
big brush heap in a sunny sheltered place to warm a patch
of ground, spade it up and sow it to lettuce and radishes,
then cover lightly with brush as protection against the
cold winds and snow. In the early days this was a chore
for the women and children.

The men were busy breaking prairie, and clearing ground for crops. Breaking ground required several
yoke of oxen hitched in a string.

The ox whip was thirty feet long. One of the
things the pioneer boy had to learn was to handle an ox
whip so he could tickle the hide of the leader and to keep
a sharp watch for snakes as they came over the mold
board; although poisonous snakes were not as common
as they were east of the Boone River and around Webster
City. A very few rattlers were killed in the Bend; however, spreading adders were thick in the timber, and blue
racers and bull snakes grew to terrifying length and size.

The early spring job was to tap maple trees,
gather the sap and soil it down into maple syrup and sugar.

The Indians made maple syrup and maple sugar too, and every spring they made sugar camps on the
Des Moines and Boone rivers near the settlement. One
spring a group of boys from the settlement had wondered
down to the Boone River, near where the bridge is now
on the Brooks farm and they saw some Indians across

the river boiling sap. Anxious for adventure the boys decided to cross the river and visit the camp. Their only
way to cross, since the water was cold to swim, was to
make a raft. They tied some poles together with grape
vines, climbed onto their improvised raft and poled themselves across to the camp. The Indians were friendly and
offered them paddles and lick the sap from their kettles.
The boys accepted and licked heartily, perhaps greedily,
as the squaws took turns stirring the sap and slopping it
up the sides of the kettle. After a while, perhaps thinking the boys were taking advantage of the hospitality of
the Indians, an old squaw too, the big paddle herself and
stirred carefully, lifting the paddle to the surface of the
sap until she brought up what looked like the skeleton
of a small animal about the size of a skunk. The boys
laid down their paddles, thanked the squaws for the sap,
and made for their raft. The old squaw chuckled, a young
squaws laughed loudly, but to the boys it was no laughing matter. One of them, who used to tell the story when
he was an old man, said he never told it without feeling a
peculiar sensation in his stomach. In fact, it took the keen
edge off his appetite for licking maple syrup off a paddle
for a lifetime.

Don Williams Lake---Black Crappie - Fair:
The crappie bite is still good at Don Williams. Slowly
troll jigs in 12-20 feet of water. When a crappie is caught,
continue to fish that area as the fish are suspended in
large schools. Use 1/8 ounce jigs tipped with minnows
or small white or chartreuse twister tails. The upper half
of the lake has been best, but groups of fish can be found
throughout.

Rathbun Reservoir---The current lake level
is 904.84 msl. Normal operating elevation is 904.0 msl.
The current surface water temperature is in the mid 60s
F. Lake Rathbun contains zebra mussels so make sure to
properly drain, clean and dry equipment before transporting to another waterbody. Walleye - Slow: Use crankbaits
that mimic gizzard shad in submerged points and rock
piles. Try also minnows and jigs fished in shallow water.
White Crappie - Fair: Crappies should start to move shallow as the water cools. Try minnows or crappie jigs in
areas with submerged structure.

If the Jaguars win Friday night there will be
three-way tie for the District Championship.

This is a big game and we are asking everyone
to take the night off and come out and support us Friday,
said Swieter. Everything is on the line. If we win we are
in the playoffs.

The SV Jaguars were in a must win attitude after
a week one after a District loss to SCC by two points.
Every week was a must win to have a chance at the district title, said Swieter.
