Trout releasedSaturday, Jan. 23,at Moorland Pond

In Webster County. . .

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources willrelease trout in seven locations this winter in areas thatwould not support them during warmer months. Trout will be released Saturday, Jan. 23, atMoorland Pond near Moorland in Webster County. The popular program is supported by the salesof the trout fee. Anglers need a valid fishing license andpay the trout fee to fish for or possess trout. The dailylimit is five trout per licensed angler with a possessionlimit of 10.

A family friendly event is paired with the stock-ing to help anglers have success and fun while fishing. Children age 15 or younger can fish for troutwith a properly licensed adult, but they must limit theircatch to one daily limit. The child can purchase a trout

fee which will allow them to catch their own limit. Winter stocking events are based on favorableweather conditions.

Webster County has much higher rate

of youth drinking than state averageCounty gets grant, youth drinking meeting Jan. 12. . . A grant secured for Webster County on youthdrinking (ages 12-20) will be discussed Tuesday, Jan.12, from 4-6 p.m. at Community and Family Resources,1506 31st Ave. North, Fort Dodge. Webster County was identified as one of 12Iowa Counties as having higher than average alcohol userates according to an Iowa Youth Survey.

The grant is funded for five years and there is agoal to reduce alcohol and binge drinking among under-age Iowa youth in Webster County. Community and Family Resources (CFR), asthe Comprehensive Substance Abuse Prevention service

provider for Webster County, has received the Iowa Part-nership for Success (IPFS) grant, to help reduce underagedrinking and youth binge drinking (ages 12 to 20).

This is a five year grant, ending September 29,2019, through the Iowa Department of Public Healthfunded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Ser-vices Administration (SAMHSA), Center for SubstanceAbuse Prevention (CSAP). Webster County receivedthis grant due to being identified as one of 20 counties

meeting the “highest need” criterion through epidemio-logical data. According to the 2012 Iowa Youth Survey,Webster County rates are often nearly double that of theState, on questions pertaining to underage alcohol useand binge drinking.

Responses for the following questions demon-strate that large numbers of youth in Webster County areengaging in the use of alcohol. Webster County is equalto, or higher than, the State rate for nearly all age catego-ries for the question, “How old were you (if ever) whenyou drank (more than a few sips) of alcohol (beer, wine

or liquor)?”In response to the question “In the past 30 days,have you had at least one drink of alcohol (glass, bottle,or can of beer, glass of wine, liquor, or mixed drink)?”Students as young as 8th grade reported significantlyhigher rates than the State, 12% and 7% respectively;again we see a large increase for the 11th graders with

The Mourning Glory Rock Band, founded and based inDayton, Iowa in the 1970s, has been elected to the Iowa Rock ‘nRoll Hall of Fame.

The members of the band, all of whom grew up in Day-ton, are Don Myers, son of Bill and Margaret “Peg” Myers; JoeLeValley, son of Jack and Pat LeValley; Roger Peterson, son ofPastor Delpho and Phyllis Peterson; Mark Plahn, son of Gordonand Shirley Plahn.

The band, along with several other honorees, officiallywill be inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame on theafternoon of Sunday, September 4, 2016, at the Sami Bedell Cen-ter for the Performing Arts in Spirit Lake, Iowa.

That evening, the inductees, including Mourning Glory,will perform at a concert in the Roof Garden Ballroom in Arnold’sPark, Iowa. These activities are part of the “2016 IRRMA Hall ofFame Induction Spectacular” weekend September 2-4. The IowaRock ‘n Roll Music Association is entering its 20th inductionyear. Mourning Glory bass player, Mark Plahn, said, “I washonored to play with three great musicians during my years withMourning Glory. I want to thank the IRRMA Board of Directorsfor this tremendous recognition.” Drummer Joe LeValley agreed and added, “We arevery excited to have the opportunity to perform together again.

While some of us of continued to perform in various configura-tions and in other groups, this will be the first time in years theoriginal band will have a chance to play a set of music together.We hope a lot of our friends and family members will be able to join us in the Iowa Great Lakes are for a weekend of fun.” Mourning Glory was a popular group in the early 1970s,performing steadily in ballrooms, nightclubs, colleges and highschools throughout Iowa and in Minnesota and South Dakota.

The band performed music from a variety of rockgroups, ranging from popular bands such as The Beatles and TheRolling Stones, to lesser-known groups such as The Nazz. Theband also performed original songs composed by guitarist DonMyers.

The group was the first ever to record at Westminist’rSound in Otho, Iowa (now Junior’s Motel Recording Studio).

While in Dayton, the band rehearsed most weeknightsin a small building on the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Blanchet,whose son Bob was a good friend of the band members.

Young people from Dayton and other surroundingtowns often stopped to enjoy the music.

The Blanchets accepted the nightly traffic and noise ontheir farm for three years, never charging the band for rent or utili-ties. Members of the band still cite this generosity today as a greatexample of the exceptional support they received from the peopleof Dayton. Keyboardist Roger Peterson commented, “Dayton wasa fabulous place for me to grow up in the 1960s and 70s. It alsowas the primary place I cut my keyboard “teeth,” honing my skillson classical piano, hymn-playing pipe organ, and a plethora of then-oversized synthesizers and electronic keyboards.

It is where I met Don, Joe and Mark and where, togeth-er, we formed Mourning Glory. I don’t miss the 4 a.m. road tripshome in time to play piano at church, but I do miss making musicwith these guys. I count it a blessing from the Lord to do yet an-other ‘final’ performance.” Today, Roger Peterson lives in Orlando, Fla.; Don My-ers lives in Madison, Wis.; Mark Plahn lives in Des Moines, Iowa;

and Joe LeValley lives in Waukee, Iowa. More information about the Mourning Glory RockBand can be found at www.rockiowa.net. More information aboutthe Iowa Rock ‘n Roll Music Association and the 2016 InductionWeekend Spectacular can be found at www.iowarocknroll.com.

Wednesday, Jan. 6, 20162 Dayton Review

10 second rule, Roger Brown,

Better Dayton Board, park routine This special column was written in 2010 andincludes two paragraphs near the back on RogerBrown who was murdered in late September, 2015.

One of my new roles at the Dayton Review hasbeen taking Amanda Schwering’s children to the schoolpark, Oak Park, or Skillet Creek for a little fun duringour work days. This has really worked out great for me,because I’m assured that I’m getting a little exercise andI’ve made it part of my routine. And I think the childrenhave enjoyed it a little also. On Friday afternoon it was sunny, but very hu-

id. I took Jonathon (Amanda’s youngest child) and Na-tasha (neighbor girl) to the school park. Dillon and Chel-sea were at camp that week and Randy, the oldest, was on

his own. It was muggy and also muddy on the grounds,since there had been heavy rain that morning. It’s amaz-ing the mud that Jonathon collected in just a few minutes. We didn’t stay at the school park very long,walking back to the office. Jonathon’s mud-riddensan-dals were removed and we went to Skillet Creek. Becauseof heavy rains, the creek was murky, very fast, and alsohigh. It was a high humidity day and conditions weren’tthe best for doing things outside, but it was still fun. We

arched back to the office-- where Amanda works andit’s my base for youth excursions. (small joke). Amandausually is done at 3 p.m. on Fridays, so she took along the

uddy items and Jonathon and Natasha. I needed to cool off, so I walked over to Com-

unity Grocery. The soft serve was chocolate, so I hada chocolate cone. I was thirsty, and I walked back to the

coffee shop with my cone, licking it all the way. The“Better Dayton Board” was there, sitting around the tablesipping coffee. I sat down with a glass of water and mycone. By this time the soft serve was dripping a littletoo fast. “Board” members were giving me all their ex-pert advice.....Lick around the edges. . .Get a spoon. . .. .Get a napkin. . .Open your mouth wider . . .swallowfaster and so forth. It was truly helpful advice. Daryl Haub tossed over a spoon, which bouncedoff the table onto the floor. I retrieved the spoon, put it onthe table. The spoon survived the “10 second rule,” but Ididn’t observe this very cherished custom. As explainedby Harold Rentschler, if a spoon or piece of silverware isdropped on the floor and is recovered within 10 seconds,it is still “good” and can be used. Naturally, the group

keeps very accurate time of these spills. We could reallyuse this group in the Gulf. Daryl wanted his spoon back, Don Grow passedit to him. Daryl put some sugar in his coffee, stirred hiscoffee with the spoon, and all is well in Dayton. The hotcoffee sanitized the spoon. It’s always fun to attend these“board” meetings because there are mini press conferenc-es and everyone can be the subject of some pun or friend-ly board humor, including Don Grow. I had to vouch for

Don, noting that as Legion Commander he has the FiringSquad behind him. “But they can’t shoot straight,” said Dick Son-quist. Harold offered, “Maybe they should use the gunsthat project a ‘flag’ like ‘bang’ when they are fired.” Ev-eryone laughed, including Don of course. Jerry Blair andChuck Danielson offered their advice too. Jerry remindsme that his sister Donna is married to Daryl, and so oftenI forget, or don’t know, how people are related in ourarea. Ah, the class of ‘57 ( D & D), had its dream, andthey are living it every day. That’s a lot of D’s by theway....Daryl, Donna, Dayton, Dream. Emory Hansen was also in attendance that af-ternoon. It’s quite a group. The women are always at an-other table dealing with matters of all sorts. On Wednes-day of last week I attended the City Council meeting. Thecouncil was meeting with the engineer on the water mainproject, and progress is being made, but there are alsobig problems. It was an interesting dialogue, but severaltimes I found myself getting up, and walking outsidewhere it was much cooler and pleasant. Outside I talkedwith Pam Constable, who has purchased the former Gay-lord Carlson building downtown. Her friend will have anauto repair business in back and she will have clothes/miscellaneous consignment business in front. As we talk-ed, Roger Brown approached us.

Roger is well known in Dayton and he has con-tributed to our community in many ways. He has done alot of small repair/maintenance jobs over the years andhe’s part of the fabric of our small town life. We all knowhim, value him, and appreciate his presence here. Roger is upset because he has been getting a billfrom the city for sewer and water and electricity. He livesin a small camper on the edge of town. “I don’t use wateror sewer,” he explains. He often dines with Dennis Es-person (and Jennifer), and he often uses Oak Park facili-ties. He has a very small camper, and he doesn’t reallyhave garbage either. His needs are small, but he got a billfrom the city he doesn’t think is fair. I promised Roger Iwould check it out this week. The city has its job to do, ofcourse, so we’ll see what can be worked out. In general, life is good here in Dayton. We havea very good council, and other “boards” are working onproblems.

out back in Sweden, but there is hope. After 3 years ofsuccessful ministry in Eastern Europe with Greater Eu-rope Mission, Gene and Inga have been reappointedto Sweden. According to the World Research Center,Swedes are the world’s “least responsive people to theGospel.” From Umeå, Sweden, Gene and Inga Whiteheadwill focus on learning the Swedish language while assist-ing the indigenous church in renewal and in implement-ing disciple-making efforts. In the words of one Swedishleader, “The Swedish church has already collapsed andwe’re in need of foreign workers to bring a boldness forthe Gospel and a doctrinal conviction the Swedish churchno longer has.” To accomplish this, Gene and Inga have beenpraying for connections with new, strategic financial andprayer partners among believers and churches in NorthAmerican that have the desire to partner in Kingdombuilding work with the Nordic church. Our evening together will consist of a presen-tation by the Whiteheads, a meal of traditional Swedishfare and great conversation. Gene and Inga will be shar-ing the vision God has given them of being a part of anew revival in Sweden and also how those in attendancecan become involved. The event begins at 4 pm and therewill be a freewill offering. For more information about Gene and Inga

The Iowa Utilities Board concluded its proceed-ings on a state permit to construct a crude oil pipelinethrough 18 Iowa counties, although a final decision isn’texpected until at least early February.

The Bakken pipeline, if approved, would beconstructed in Webster County, one of the 18 counties. The three-member state panel finished hearingson the proposed Dakota Access pipeline in Boone. Iowalaw does not set a deadline for the board to make a deci-sion, and the board and its staff are currently reviewingall the evidence received in the case. More than 200 people testified at a public hear-

ing on the pipeline project in November. The board thenconducted an evidentiary hearing (akin to a trial) atwhich dozens of witnesses, including pipeline officialsand Iowa farmers who own land along the route, testi-

fied under oath. Lawyers and others involved in the casewere then allowed to file written arguments that will bereviewed by the board. The utilities board may schedule a public meet-ing to discuss its decision, or it may simply issue a writtendecision. The pipeline project would cost $3.8 billion.The project is being proposed by Dakota Access LLC, aunit of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners. It wouldtransport up to 570,000 barrels of light sweet crude oildaily from North Dakota’s Bakken pil patch throughSouth Dakota and Iowa to a distribution hub at Patoka,Ill.

The oil could be transferred to railroad tank carsor linked to another pipeline for shipment to refineries inthe Gulf Coast area.Some farmers supportproject, others oppose it

Solid support was voiced by union constructionworkers who would help build the pipeline, and by Iowabusiness interests who see the project as contributingto the nation’s energy independence and a robust stateeconomy. There were farmers who said transporting oilby pipeline would help ease congestion on railroads, ex-pediting shipments of Midwest grain at harvest. Several farmers along the route were opposed tothe pipeline passing through their land. They expressedfear about damage to agricultural drainage lines and re-duced crop yields. Many farmers also strongly objectedto eminent domain being authorized to gain easementsfor the pipeline route.

Environmentalists were also opposed to thepipelline, expressing worries about pipeline spills andobjecting to developing infrastructure to transport fossilfuels. The Meskwaki Indian tribe also expressed theiropposition to the project.Corps of Engineers mustapprove; DNR reviews pipeline

The project must comply with requirements ofthe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. South Dakota offi-cials have already approved the pipeline project, whilerequests to proceed are pending in other states. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources isreviewing the environmental permit application and ex-pects to make a decision later this winter. The public in-put will be considered.

According to one unofficial report, eminent do-main would be involved in 25% of Iowa farmers owningland needed for the pipeline.

Iowa Utilities Board expected to makedecision on oil pipeline in February

roposed project would run through Webster County. . .

Dayton Review

If you are like me you probably saw your shareof Christmas movies during the days prior to the holiday,many of which were re-runs and most of them were thesame story, just a slightly different “twist” and cast ofcharacters. At least they had different names and mightbe in a city other than New York , L.A. or fictitious ver-sions. Many have snow scenes and a busy urban shop-ping area. Amidst all the crowding and noise and peoplebumping into one another is a Santa ringing a bell tryingto solicit funds for his collection pot or kettle. This issomething I don’t recall seeing here in Des Moines or atleast for a long time. Does anyone else remember TheVolunteers of America?

They are the ones with the Santa collectors. Sal-vation Army uses “ordinary” volunteers and has been “atit” for a long, long time too. In my research the Volun-teers are still very active in helping the “down trodden”too but apparently operate more like a “regular” businessnow. I don’t recall the simple “bell ringer – kettle” peoplebeing portrayed in any movie. Perhaps the Santa thing ismore colorful and non-sectarian or the producers don’t

want to appear to be supporting a particular denomina-tion. Who knows? Ah, how something current can dragthose memories to the surface. This year continued with more memories be-ing made. Suddenly it was Christmas Eve and we had aWhite Christmas after all. It was only a skiff comparedto the counties up Boxholm, Dayton, Gowrie way andbeyond but it was white. The shopping and wrapping hadbeen done, the Christmas meals planned -- at least wehoped all was done. I talked on the phone with son num-ber three, Rex, who had missed our big family gatheringdue to be called to make a run in his choo choo train.We exchanged greetings and a promise to get together inthe next day or so. He would be spending Christmas withhis family. After having celebrated the BIG family gettogether the previous weekend, my youngest daughter,

Sally, and I decided to go to the 6:00 Christmas Eve can-dlelight service and thus not have to rush the family timeat her house with her and Rick’s family of three daugh-ters and spouses and four grandchildren. It turned out tobe chaotic fun with eating, talking, laughing, interactingwith the kids, especially the little ones, four to nine, eat-ing, laughing, wading through the ripped off paper andmutilated boxes, eating. What a wonderful time. The

service had been so beautiful with the telling of the sto-ry, the children’s message with so many gathered on thesteps near the altar, singing many familiar hymns, espe-cially the lump in the throat ones, “Let There Be Peace”,“Silent Night” and Pastor singing “Shalom”. For a littlewhile one could put aside any worries, hurts, sadness andrelax in the glory of the moments. Then for our familyto top it off with the joy of the laughter and love and thescreams and excitement of little ones was, to use a famil-iar clich –WONDERFUL! Christmas morning dawned in Des Moines withgray skies and yet the Son was shining. There were somephone calls exchanged and I found time to relax. I talkedby phone to my son, John, in Washington and learned ofhis plans and got family news. Meanwhile at my oldestdaughter, Terry’s home, there was the usual chaos andmore to come. I was told their meal would be mid to lateafternoon and that was fine with me. A phone call fromTerry advised that the nearby parking areas in her condocomplex were overflowing and she would pick me up.On schedule I gathered my purse and satchel with good-

ies and we were off. I was right! Chaos but happy chaos– with munchies laid out and I added more. I got to meetthe little girl, eight year old Dulce, who will be my greatgranddaughter Devin’s sister in law, and Devin and Reu-ben’s mini white poodle, Chewy. After presents were un-wrapped Chewy was prancing around in his new sweater

just like the other sweater recipients. Of course there wastoo much food but few protests to that fact and again itwas laughter, eating, talking, hugging, eating, laughing,picture taking, eating, laughter. It was a great time andmade special before the meal for all to hold hands andgive thanks to God for having sent His Son so we couldand should celebrate this day. We did not forget in all ourrevelry why we were so privileged to have such a familytime. I was happy to go to all the festivities but admit-tedly, rather happy to get back to the solitude of my easy

chair to relax a bit before bedtime.So, this is the 2015 Christmas Saga of a very

blessed Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma. I hopethe memories of these times will go into my children’s,grandchildren’s and great grandchildren’s memorybanks. I also hope those reading this will have had someof that blessedness also. And now I wish one and all agreat 2016.

A Christmas Saga...

War in Iraq changed me;

Get involved in Iowa caucus. . .

I’m not really the type of person to get hungup on dates but January 3rd is difficult. On January 3rd,2008, after already spending 28 years on this planet, Ibecame a very different person. I watched my best friendand battle buddy, Tom Casey, fall down to a sniper bullet.

I was in a vehicle with a mounted machine gun.The team leader, Major Olmsted, was lying motionlessin the field in front of us. Will Beaver was above me onthe gun bleeding from a bullet wound to his face. He stillmanaged to to keep the snipers’ heads down with sus-tained fire.

I passed him up a gauze pack to hold against hischeek. He jumped down quickly to get on our communi-cation computer and called for medical evacuation.

Our interpreter was pinned down outside. He ranunder sniper fire to the Iraqi Army vehicle we had beenescorting and moved them to pick up Andy Olmsted. Itwas one of the bravest things I’ve ever witnessed. Wecircled our gun trucks around Tom. Tom was a tall andstrong man. He was not easy to load into the truck.

I had tunnel vision as we drove away from thebattlefield. After traveling a few miles, a helicopter gotto us and picked up Andy. Will got out and jumped inthe bird. Another teammate replaced Will in my truckand told me that Andy’s body was cold when they loadedhim.

That night a helicopter landed in the middle ofa base-wide ceremony. I escorted Tom on a stretcher un-derneath an American flag. The ride to Balad was maud-lin and long. When we landed I saluted Tom one last timeand hitchhiked to the field hospital to see Will.

Will smiled when I came in. His face was swol-len and wrapped in foam tape. We joked around a littlebit until I knew he was in good spirits. I then thanked himfor keeping us alive and told him he is the bravest manI’ve ever met. I left his room and wouldn’t see him againuntil months later when we returned to Fort Riley and thedivision pinned a Silver Star to his chest.

I am glad we live in a country where those ex-periences are rare. Before that day I had been an affableyoung military officer looking to prove myself in combat.After that day I wanted nothing more than to ensure myson would never have to experience the same thing.

I became mortal. I became serious. I hadwatched my friends give their lives for something greater

than themselves. I was proud to have known them and Iwas sad to have lost them.

I don’t think about Iraq every day but it’schanged who I am everyday. It made it more importantto me to follow the campsite rule. “Leave it better thanyou found it.” I am very worried about the direction of ourcounty. In one month, Iowa has a very important duty tothis nation. We will select the finalists that will lead ournation for the next decade. Please participate. Don’t justcaucus. Do your homework. Find the bold leader that willactually make a difference. Recruit supporters and helpthem get elected.

On January 20, 2017 a new president will takethe oath of office. Let’s elect one that we know honorsand understands the sacrifices of our nation. One who has

the forethought to actually prioritize our children againstthe political expediency of right now. One who will leaveour nation better than they found it. Find your caucuslocation at www.iowagop.org

night out for the

new parents!

McCrary Rost Clinic recently installed new ra-diology equipment at its Gowrie location.

The new equipment replaces a machine that waspurchased in the 1980s, for which updates were no longeravailable.

Starting in July, the radiology department beganlooking at equipment that would fit the needs at the clinic.

The machine they chose has several benefits.Physically, it fits into the space the clinic provides. It

provides better image quality which leads to more ac-curate readings. It accommodates patients of all sizes.

Looking to the future, it can also be upgraded tofully digital. Currently, it is considered partially digitalbecause images are burned to cassettes. Radiology technologist Jessica McGuire is ex-cited about the increased power the machine utitilizes.“We’re now able to offer a wider range of exams. Pre-viously, we couldn’t take images of thicker parts of thebody, like the back and abdomen. Now we can do thatwith even safer radiation levels.” Patients receiving x-rays will see a remodeledroom as well. Jenni King, radiology technologist at Stew-art Memorial Community Hospital (SMCH) who man-aged the project, explains, “We removed a wall to expandthe space into our old darkroom that’s no longer used toexpose images.” Electrical was upgraded and the carpetwill soon be replaced. Improving the patient experience made this animportant priority for SMCH. King comments, “Becausethe old equipment could no longer be serviced, we knewthat when it stopped working, it would take three to sixmonths to replace it.

During which time, patients in the communitywould have had to drive a distance to have x-rays taken.We decided to be proactive and replace the equipmentbefore there was a problem.

Getting the new equipment will be better for pa-tient convenience since they won’t have to leave town.It will improve care and lead to faster treatments sincethere will be reduced wait time for image results.Our number one goal is provide our patients with the bestpossible experience.”

CFR urges local businesses, community orga-nizations, colleges, schools, administrators, and govern-ment agencies to get involved.

Webster Township is bounded on the west bythe town of Lehigh, north by Washington Township, eastby Hamilton County and the south border is the meander-ing Des Moines River. The whole township is approxi-mately 20 square miles. The north and east portions areflat and tillable, mostly Clarion-Webster soil, the west

and south are scenic hills and timberland inhabited bydeer, fox, squirrel, several species of wild birds and manyvarieties of wild edibles. Webster Township is the site of Vegors Cem-etery which was given to the county by the Vegors familyin 1949. At that time there was a need for a place to buryMrs. Lott, the first white woman to die in the county. Shedied from exposure after the Indians had raided the Lottcabin. The Vegor family owned a scenic hilltop over-looking the meeting place of the Boone and Des Moinesrivers. On this hilltop were also found 5 Indian moundsand here Mrs. Lott was buried. In 1960, the bones of eleven prehistoric peoplewere discovered by State Archaeologists in a diggingnear here. They were classified as Middle Woodlands--people who lived between 500 BC and 500 AD. Their

bones were buried in the Vegors Cemetery with a head-stone explaining the story. Government and Departmentof Interior had a ceremony with an Air Force Militaryplane flying overhead. It is a scenic and historic site,peaceful and nostalgic. This writer wonders who financedthe large spiraling marker, as part of her family had diedshortly after the raid.

Lehigh Sewer pipe and Tile company starts in 1907 Discovery of coal in the area brought in influxof miners from states as far away as Pennsylvania, it wasa group of miners from this state who suggested that thetwo villages of Vesper and Lackawanna unite under thename of Lehigh and then incorporate. A brick factory wasbuilt here in the early days to take advantage of the plenti-ful supply of coal for heating the kilns and also the excel-lent quality of the clay. Later the Lehigh Sewer pipe andTile company was constructed in 1907 and operated untilrecent years. The firm was purchased in 1964 and was thenoperated as the W. S. Dickey Manufacturing Company.Principal products are clay sewer pipe and flue liners forchimneys. Standing well up the hill east of the Des MoinesRiver is a large brick house which has been a communitylandmark since the turn of the century. It was owned bythe Steven Rhodes family. Mr. Rhodes was the director ofBlanden Gallery in Fort Dodge. It was built by George Wellington Post whocame to Lehigh in 1872. He was born in 1845 in NewYork and migrated to Lehigh. Construction of this eleganthouse was begun in 1899 and was completed in 1901.The brick came from the former Corey Brick and TileCo. of Lehigh. Some of the stone over the windows anddoors was shipped out from Pennsylvania. There wereparquet floors and ornate balustrades and much intricatewoodwork. Despite all these features the house is saidto have cost only $4,000.00. The sad part of this story is

that George Post died September 17, 1900 at the age of55 years and never did have the pleasure of living in his“Dream House”. Emma Post and her son Archie movedinto the house in 1901. George and Emma Post’s towgreat-grandsons, Richard and John Swanson are marriedand are farming the original Post farm located east of

Lehigh. Webster Township is historic with old historybut will also be important with the new. In 1969 the StateConservation Commission started buying land to estab-lish a 1000 acre state park. The site is 5 miles directlyeast of Lehigh. At the time of this writing no construc-tion has been started. It is proposed to dam Brushy Creekto make a recreational lake for boating and swimming.The north part is to be reserved for wild life and hunting.There will be camper facilities, a swimming pool and agolf course. At this time it is an improved park with aRanger in residence. Most of the residents of WebsterTownship are in farming and there are mixed emotionsabout the proposed State Park. There is some enthusi-asm about recreation seekers coming into the are and theeffect it will have on their lives, land values, population

and privacy.Vegors Cemetery In Webster Township is an old Indian buryingground, which was taken over by the earliest pioneersand it is now know as Vegors Cemetery. Here is buried Benjamin Bell (1751-1853) aRevolutionary War soldier who served under GeneralGeorge Washington. Also nearby is a Memorial shaft to the first pio-neer woman to die in what is now the county of Webster.The inscribed on the tombstone is Lott and the date is1849. The shaft was dedicated in September 1911. Thededicatory address was given by Ellsworth School Su-perintendent, Fred Runkle, who is probably responsiblefor the date of 1849. In his speech he acknowledged thatmany old-timers insisted that the historic Indian raidoccurred in 1846. He, however, accepted the date of aso-called authority as 1849. The shaft was unveiled byRebecca McQuire, a younger sister of Mrs. Jemina Mc-Quire Lott, the second wife of Henry Lott. Mrs. Huntington Lott died of exposure fol-lowing the Indian raid by Chief, “Two-Fingers Sidomi-nadota”, a “Sisseton Sioux”. The date of this raid being apoint of contention among historians for over a century.Now my research: In retreat from the raiders a Lott son,12 year old Milton died trying to reach the settlement inBoone County. The date on his grave N. W. of Boonebeing December of 1846. His burial was described by anable local historian, C. S. Lucas, who was present whenthe grave was marked along with some of the old pio-neers who had assisted in the burial.

UnityPoint atHome Begins CareChoices at Home

Increase hospice choiceand quality...

UnityPoint at Home in Fort Dodge is now of-

fering Care Choices at Home, part of the previously an-nounced Medicare Care Choices Model.

As part of the initial phase of hospice provid-ers, UnityPoint at Home’s Care Choices at Home will beamongst the first in the nation to offer this model of care.

The model is significant because it allows eli-gible beneficiaries the option of electing to continue re-ceiving curative services and receive supportive hospiceservices at the same time.

Care Choices at Home includes eligible Medi-care beneficiaries qualifying for the Medicare Hospicebenefit and dually eligible beneficiaries who qualify forthe Medicaid Hospice benefit.

“We are pleased and excited to now offer ourCare Choices at Home in Fort Dodge,” states Joyce Bi-anchi, clinical manager for UnityPoint at Home, Fort

Dodge. “We are committed to providing compassion-ate, quality, coordinated care, partnering with the patient,their family and their health care team. The hallmarks ofthis service is to ensure patient goals and wishes are clearthrough shared decision making and reflected in a well-coordinated plan of care. Currently, fewer than half ofeligible Medicare beneficiaries use hospice care, and thisnew model will provide more services and flexibility forthose coping with life-limiting illnesses and conditions.” Due to robust interest, CMS expanded the mod-el from an originally anticipated 30 Medicare-certifiedhospices to over 140 Medicare-certified hospices and ex-tended the duration of the model from 3 to 5 years. This isexpected to enable as many as 150,000 eligible Medicarebeneficiaries with advanced cancers, chronic obstructivepulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, human im-

munodeficiency virus/ acquired immunodeficiency syn-drome who receive services from participating hospicesto experience this new option and flexibility. As a participating hospice, UnityPoint at Home’sCare Choices at Home will provide services under themodel that are currently available under the Medicarehospice benefit for routine home care and respite levelsof care, but cannot be separately billed under MedicareParts A, B, and D. Services will be available around theclock, 365 calendar days per year and CMS will pay aper beneficiary per month fee ranging from $200 to $400to participating hospices when delivering these services

Bird u casescould reappear:

Ag Secretary VilsackMany cases occurredin area counties. . .

The deadly bird flu virus that devastated Iowa’spoultry industry in the spring of 2015 and sent egg pricessoaring could reappear, even though no new cases havebeen detected for months, according to Agriculture Sec-retary Tom Vilsack. There were many area bird flu cases includingcases in Pocahontas and Wright counties. “It can happen at any time,” Vilsack was quotedrecently.

It’s been more than six months since the lastcase of avian influenza was found in a commercial flock. But Vilsack said there are concerns that the birdflu could reappear next spring.

Earlier this year, the disease destroyed nearly 50illion farm birds. Iowa, the nation’s largest egg produc-

er, lost 31.5 million birds across 18 counties, includingabout 30 million laying hens and pullets and 1.1 millionturkeys. The virus cost the state’s economy $1.2 billionthrough lost egg, chicken and turkey production, lostwages and tax revenue, according to a study commis-sioned by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. USDA and state officials struggled to quicklydispose of dead birds in the hardest-hit areas. Some poul-try operations failed to closely follow biosecurity mea-

sures intended to help curtail the spread of the disease. Officials have studied what worked during theoutbreak and what needs improving. Biosecurity ef-forts have been strengthened at poultry facilities, and theUSDA has stockpiled vaccines. The USDA spent about $1 billion on the out-break. That included costs for surveillance, testing, clean-ing, disinfecting and disposal as well as $200 million inindemnity payments helping farmers cover their losses.

The state of Iowa has made progress in the bird fluoutbreak. But an outbreak in 2016 in still possible.
