I experienced a little problem with my heart
medication on Tuesday of last week and went to Unity
Point for assistance. They had my history.
I did have a medication problem, but a correc-
tive measure was taken. And I was in the hospital un-
dergoing numerous tests not knowing that the Dayton
Review would lose considerable business in legal publi-
cations that week.
My biggest symptom that Tuesday was inex-
plicable fatigue. I didnt think it was a second heart at-
tack, but something was definitely wrong.
Numerous tests were taken including an EKG,
blood tests, X-ray, and so forth. Everything was good,
but my heart rate (count) of 40 (per minute) was very
low.
Normal heart rate count is 60 and I was told
that I was probably feeling fatigued because of this low
count. They stopped one heart medication that can cause
this problem. And they kept me in the hospital for two
days, mostly for observation and monitoring a new medi-
cine routine. They also added a 325 mg aspirin each day
for my meds.
That week the Dayton Review would lose three
governmental legal publications. Those votes started on
Tuesday and ended on Friday. It was ironic that I was
in the hospital Tuesday and Wednesday, and then re-
leased on Thursday. While at home Thursday and
Friday I was wearing a heart monitor for a 24
hour period.
I do feel that I didnt do a very good
job for our subscribers in January and Feb-
ruary, during this legal publication decision
period. I definitely admit that I just didnt
perform well in this process. I didnt attend
any of the governmental meetings (except for a
brief few minutes with the supervisors). I did
submit the forms/letters/affidavits on time,
but obviously my best efforts werent there.
So often the little things matter so much.
Personally, however, I feel so blessed.
I was fatigued before my heart attack on
Thursday, Jan. 12. I had a dull pain in my chest that day,
went to emergency and to my surprise I had a heart attack
and the next day doctors performed an angioplasty and
one of my arteries was 100% blocked. They placed one
stent in that artery.
I didnt experience any heart damage, but I was
kept in the hospital for five days. I feel better now but
obviously my life has changed. And God has given me a
second chance.
I am not bitter about anything. I dont feel any
resentment or hatred. I respect the people on these gov-
ernmental boards so much. They are serving our com-
munities in Webster County. I know several of the board
members and a few are good friends. I respectfully dont
agree with their decisions on choosing a legal newspaper.
I am not certain about the future of the Dayton
Review. I do know that many changes would be made.
It would be a smaller publication, the subscription price
would be lower, and certain things wouldnt be covered.
I have always wanted to do Christian writing
and definitely more Christian coverage would be empha-
sized.
I believe that what happened to me (and the
Dayton Review) was meant to be. My heart attack and
subsequent problems with heart meds occurred at a cru-
cial time during the legal publication decision-making
process.
I really love everyone in Dayton---and I do
mean everyone---and there are so many wonderful peo-
ple in all of our respective communities. The people in
Lehigh and Harcourt, and other surrounding communi-
ties, have been so good to work with. I feel so blessed
to have had good relationships with so many fine people
over the years.
Sometimes in life we experience what appears
to be a devastating happening. Those so-called castas-
trophes can actually be opportunities. As humans we
sometimes can understand that something so obviously
bad can be a good thing.
And we know that all things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are called ac-
cording to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Pheasants Forever annual banquet

at Webster County Fairgrounds
Saturday, March 18. . .
The Webster County Chapter of Pheasants For-
ever will hold its 32ND Annual Banquet on Saturday,
March 18 at the Webster County Fairgrounds, Fort Dodge.
Social hour is scheduled from 4:30pm until
6:15pm, followed by a New York Strip dinner, a short pro-
gram and fund raising activities, including raffles, Live and
A few precious days
with my daughter. . .
I wrote this column in November of 2010. I was
visiting my daughter Joanna who was earning her doc-
torate at Michigang Technical Institute, Houghton, MI.
She now has her doctorate and teaches at Georgia South-
ern.
The lake air was refreshing as I walked to the
Suomi Restaurant in Houghton, MI, in the Upper Pennisula.
I met my daughter Joanna for breakfast on this fall morning.
You look tired honey. How many hours of sleep
did you get last night?, I asked.
There isnt enough time for sleep, she said after
taking a sip of coffee. I have too much work to do. I prob-
ably had three hours of sleep.
Joanna is getting her doctorate in technical com-
munications at Michigan Technical Institute. She is an assis-
tant in the communications department, she teaches a college
class, and she was busy preparing for a comprehensive exam.
I ordered pannukakku, an oven-baked, custard like
pancake served with warm rasberry sauce. Joanna had Finn-
ish French toast. And both of us were drinking coffee.
Over the past year-14 months Joanna has read 100
books in three areas of technical communications. Some-
times a reading would involve numerous trade journals,
which would be the equivalent of a book. There would be
one long question in each of the three fields of communi-
cations on the comprehensive exam, and then one question
which combined all three areas.
For four wonderful days I had breakfast every
morning with Joanna, then we would have a late afternoon
walk with Zoe, her dog, on one of the many trails in the area,
and we would always have dinner together. She was so busy,
but she made a few hours for me each day.
We had some great conversations, mostly about
family, her work, her goals in life. At 10 a.m. I would al-
ways go back to Dayton Review work for several hours until
I would see her again in the late afternoon. It was a good
routine.

Do you know your neighbors?
Im not talking about the people in the house
next to yours or the folks who live on the farm down the
road. Im talking about your wild neighbors!
In the fall, I enjoy the sport of bowhunting. I
was brought up with a great respect for anything that I
chose to harvest from the woods. My grandad always
said, If youre not going to eat it, then dont harvest it!
and I have lived by that wisdom for many years.
So when Fall rolls around you can find me, most
mornings and evenings, 20 feet up a tree in a tree stand
enjoying the cool, crisp fall smell as it blows through the
leaves of the hardwoods. My goal is to provide my fam-
ily with some healthy venison for the year to come.
It was on one of these mornings I noticed that I
had a neighbor! At around 7 a.m. every morning out of
a hole in a tree near me, a small bushy-tailed body would
emerge, stretch, look at me, and take the same path down
the tree to find some breakfast. We became friends quite
quickly.
Every morning he would peer from his hole,
look at me, and go about his routine! I quite enjoyed see-
ing my new neighbor every morning and, frankly, missed
him when the season was over!
So do you know your neighbors? I wonder if we
actually take the time to enjoy them as they travel through
our neighborhood or across our yards. Do you know who
is living where? Who is doing well? Who is frequenting
your house?
Late Winter and early Spring can be the best
time to discover exactly who is in your neighborhood.
And how can you do this? Tracks! Thats right! Every-
body leaves their signature by their tracks.
As my girls and I are outside during this time of
year, we often look for tracks in the snow or mud. I have
taught them what animal makes what track. Which direc-
tion the animal is traveling in. Which is the front foot and
which is the back. How big the animal is. How fast the
animal is going. And what they might be up to. Yes, you
can tell all of this by knowing your tracks.
Another treasure that we sometimes find in the
woods during this time of year are shed antlers. Thats
right! Did you know that the male whitetail deer will
grow and shed (knock off) his antlers every year? And
these antlers, made of a bone-like material, will lay on
the ground until somebody picks them up or something
chews them up.
For the animals that chew them up (squirrels,
mice, and rabbits) they are a great source of calcium and
other minerals.
So heres the deal, get out and find your neigh-
bors! Get a coat, hat, and gloves on and take a loop
around the block or make a trip out to some of our public
park areas such as Boone Forks, Dolliver State Park, or
Brushy Creek.
Look for tracks, sheds, and the animals that
might be out and about. Who knows, you might just
enjoy the fresh air, exercise, and new friends that you
might meet on your outing!
I have no doubt that God gave us this beauti-
ful landscape and these furry friends for our enjoyment.
Lets just make sure we take advantage of it!
Until next time!

Did you celebrate or observe Valentines Day? so-called special days?

I have nothing against Valentines Day, it has never been knowing someone loves you, whether you received a val-

I remember when down in the lower grades in
school we sometimes brought a shoe box or another small
box and decorated it in art class and had it ready for the
day. We all (our mothers, that is) got the packages of little
cutsie kid valentines and carefully read them to make sure,
even with their simple little greetings, they were the right
ones for the persons we were giving them too. We didnt
want any one of the opposite sex to get one that would
lead them to think we might like them yet perhaps we girls
wanted to subtly tell a certain boy we liked him specially.
The thing was that one boy might get some valentines that
were alike. After all there was only Woolworths or Sears
and Monkey Wards where Moms would find those little
packaged cheapies good enough for the school exchange.

mean giving school districts more discretion over how they
spend their categorical funds. As we move forward with the
FY 2018 budget, our hope is that we can avoid having to
run another budget reductions bill next year. This means we
do have to be somewhat cautious with our spending. But we
have once again made the first commitment of funding in
the new budget to our schools.
While we may not agree on the amount of the
funding, I want you to understand how we arrived at this
decision. Another energized topic this week was our con-
tinued concern of our water quality in Iowa. This week,
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, Iowa DNR
Director Chuck Gipp and Iowa State University College
of Agriculture and Life Sciences Associate Dean Dr. John
Lawrence highlighted coordination and scaling-up of water
quality efforts and initiative in presentations before House
and Senate Committees in the Iowa Legislature this week.
The Iowa Water Quality Initiative was established
in 2013 to help implement the Nutrient Reduction Strat-
egy, which is a science and technology based approach to
achieving a 45 percent reduction in nitrogen and phospho-
rus losses to our waters.
The strategy brings together both point sources,
such as municipal wastewater treatment plants and industri-
al facilities, and nonpoint sources, including farm fields and
urban storm water runoff, to address these issues. The Ini-
tiative seeks to harness the collective ability of both private
and public resources and organizations to deliver a clear
and consistent message to stakeholders to reduce nutrient
loss and improve water quality.
A representative from the Bureau of Iowa State
Parks, which includes our own Brushy Creek State Park,
gave a presentation on Iowas 100 year old park system. It
was interesting to note that there are 4,790 camp sites, 80
shower buildings, 57 campgrounds, 40 beaches, and over
450 hiking miles combined throughout Iowas beautiful
parks.
SV Varsity boys basketball

The SV Boys' Basketball team played South

Leading the scoring for the Jaguars was Kaleb
Jondle 16, Keegan Goodwin 14, Myles Davis 13, Alex
Pliner 6, Tommy Lennon 5, Dakota Jaeschke 4, and No-

The Jaguars record is now 17-5 and will face
South Hamilton in the District final at Gilbert on Tues-
day, February 21st, at 7pm.
This place was then the home of Philip Fredolf-
son. Then he moved a house off the present main street
and on the main road into Dayton at that time (this was
the house that was the Walter Long house for many
years.)
The main road at that time crossed Skillet creek
below the home of Numa Odell and turned into the busi-
ness district at the corner where Hub Peterson lived.
This was their home until 1869. Then he and his
brother bought 80 acres of land, southwest of Dayton on
the present Olger Strand farm.
They built a shanty and lived in it the first winter
with only a dirt floor in it. One night, when he came home
from the timber where he had been working, he found the
roof burned off his house.
In 1870, he and his brother donated three acres
of land to the Lutheran congregation to be used for locat-
ing a church and a cemetery.
This is the land on Highway 169 across from the
Wendell Carlson home. Then, shortly after this, he bought
the farm (now the home of Oliver Carlson), where the
writer of this history was born in 1880. In the early 1880,
he made two trips to Minnesota.
He took horses from here and traded them for
their oxen, so they drove horses up and oxen back. Then
he traded farms with his stepfather Adolph Strand. This is
the place that is the home of Russell Anderson family.
He rented this farm of Charles Luderlund, Swen
Ecklund, V. Kullbegs and Albert Strand. He traded farms
with his step brother. Then he traded this place to Law-
rence Burkgren for the Old Ford 80, and later sold this
80 to John Skoglund for $3200, and it still belongs to the
Skoglund family.
In 1883, he moved to town and built a house,
which later became M. M. Campbell residence and also
bought C. J. Swanstroms interest in the furniture store
and formed a partnership with S. P. Lofgren.
They also made furniture, washing machines,
bed springs and also the first hearse, used in Dayton.

was a picture taken showing the snow drifts above the tele-
phone lines. One young woman was marooned in a farm
house for four days, but was eventually saved by farm hands.
While this was a record snow accumulation, the
area does average more than 300 inches of snowfall each
year. ats the lake effect from Lake Superior.I do get con-
cerned about you being here in the winter, I mentioned.
Its really not a problem, she said. They are
so good about prompt snow removal here---its like full-
time work for many people. The roads are always plowed
promptly and I use snow shoes to take Zoe for walks. The
time went too fast on this family trip that started in Wiscon-
sin. Houghton is a beautiful area where mining once domi-
nated. Tourism seems to be the big industry now.
Joanna is writing her prospectus, which will serve
as a plan for her dissertation. Her dissertation will basically
involve research and writing a book on some field in techni-
cal communications.
This was my first visit at MTI since Joanna had
started her doctorate program. I am so glad I took the time
to share some precious days with her. Now I understand
what she is really doing, what is involved, and I have a much
greater appreciation for all the hard work it entails.

played the school song, the cheerleaders had a banner and gifts for the guys and the town police officer gave them an official
escort out of town! Photo by Lisa Peterson.

State Wrestling...

as a District runner up probably not a lot of people had
Kyler on their radar to make finals but the coaching staff
felt he could definitely hang with the big boys down at
the State tournament and that he did.
Kyler wrestled with poise and confidence. He
won the close matches with his conditioning. As a soph-
omore, to come in and be a match away from a State title
is truly incredible, it was a great learning experience for
him and he learned what it takes to come back and hope-
fully win a State title.
He conducted himself admirably through out the
tournament and the coaching staff, family, and commu-
nity are very proud of him.
Southeast Valley's other State Qualifier Jr. 132
pounder Trey Lawrence finished 0-2 and did not place.
Trey lost the opening match to Jr. Jarret Miller of Bal-
lard-Huxley in a close 6-5 decision. In the cono's Trey Trey was disappointed after losing a
lost another close match 3-1 to Jr. Austin Gutknecht of couple of close matches and also gained some insight on
Clarinda. what
