Shane Straka, Iowa Public Television’s Ready for School Specialist, gave a presentation on St. Patrick’s Day to the Southeast Webster - Grand Elementary stu-dents in two sessions. Students from Mrs. Butrick’s and Mrs. Fisher’s kindergarten classes, two Pre-K classes and a TK class attended, totaling about 90 children. Staff involved in-cluded Dan Grandfield, Tammy Habhab, Deb Smith, Suzanne Duckett, Frances Kauffman, Katie Kauffman, Kyla Fisher and Grandma Judy (from the Foster Grand-parents program). The students started the event by watching a Peg + Cat video, followed by a math activity counting “chick-ens.” When Shane asked the kids if their imaginations worked (before giving the math activity instrucitons) a few answered “Noo,” providing all with a chuckle. Each child was given a brown bag with a num-ber on it and that was the number of “chickens” they had to put in the bag. They all gathered back on the reading rug when they were done and watched more of the video. Librarians Tanya Campbell and Melanie Murray (Lehigh Librarian) and Mary Horn assisted Shane as well with the kids. Green rice krispie treats and lemonade was

Former Dayton residenthosts weekend retreatat his Arizona home Dayton classmates attenda very special gathering... Jim Nelson, formerly of Dayton, and his wife Dorothy hosted conversation sessions on Dayton Friday and Saturday, March 20 and 21, at their mountain home in Saddlebrook, AZ. Saddlebrook is a community in the foothills of the mountains about 25 miles north of Tuscon. The com-munity is known for its mountain views and several golf courses. Attending were about 20 people who all have Dayton roots, and their spouses. Current Dayton resi-dents attending the sessions were Chuck and Linda Dan-ielson, Dick Liljegren (accompanied by Pat Tuel of Strat-ford), and Glenn Schreiber. Nelson’s upbringing was in Dayton in the 1950s. He left Dayton at the end of the eighth grade when his family moved to Minnesota. But Jim still considers Day-ton his home town and cherishes the memories he had growing up in Dayton. Nelson is a very successful entrepreneur and owns about 50 homes that were designed to accommo-date the mentally ill. His business has flourished and last year Nelson won an award sponsored by the Minneapolis Star & Tribune. Nelson’s enterprise was recognized for seeking valuable input from staff and then utilizing that information to improve the services given to the mentally ill. Jim and Dorothy Nelson split the large group of

Bakken Oil Pipeline meeting Tuesday, March 31 in Dayton

There will be a community meeting with Ed Fallon in Dayton at the Dayton Community Center, Tuesday, March 31 from 6:30 pm - 8pm.

Ed Fallon started his daily walk along the proposed Dakota Access - Bakken Oil Pipeline Route March 2. He blogs daily explaining his encounters, and the people for and against the pipeline and their reasons.

This pipeline will affect so many Iowans if it’s con-structed. Fallon is not in favor of the pipeline sharing the opinion of other Iowans. Fallon mentioned a farmer be-ing paid $60,000 for pipeline access.

Fallon said he is “starting to hear from lawyers that the contracts may be voidable.” Keep in mind, that is not a for sure thing right now. Fallon urged people to con-tact their State Representative and Senator, asking them to work on making stronger eminent domain legislation.

Peter Clay, works with local communities and coor-dinates the town meetings along the route.

“The Dayton meeting is meant to be a place where the members of the community can come together and be comfortable in sharing their opinion of the pipeline,” said Clay.

“The pipeline company had their informational meetings and put their point of view out there. Now is the time for communities along the proposed route to learn more about what the real risks are with this pipeline and to discuss the issue among themselves.”

Clay joined Fallon last year for 700 miles of the 3,000 mile cross-country Great March for Climate Ac-tion that Fallon organized. He is also a volunteer with the Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition, a state-wide co-alition made up of many individuals and more than fifty organizations.

Peter also mentioned that the Pipeline firm has been

Donation from Heartland Bank... Local FFA President Shane Promes accepts the t-shirt quilt from Berna Tucker, Marketing Director at Heartland

Bank. The proceeds from the quilt will go back to the chapter.

Danielsons, Hollands stop by for a visit in Arizona. . .

I was on the phone with Mari Stufflebean, our adver-tising sales rep, on a Tuesday afternoon last week at my Arizona home/office. A large white pickup pulls into my driveway. Who can that be?

Chuck Danielson starts walking toward my front door and I welcomed him. It was a nice surprise, al-though we were expecting Chuck and Linda on Wednes-day. “We were driving in the area and decided to find your house,” said Chuck. “We have Leonard and Cindy Holland with us.”

Now that was an even bigger surprise, and we were so delighted. I hadn’t seen the Hollands since about 2010.

Leonard Holland had been an attorney in Dayton for many years with his law office located in the large home just west and across the street from the post office. He was the city attorney for several years and he coached the Mock Trial team for a significant period. Cindy was the legal secretary and assisted Leonard in the law practice. They had a home on the east side of Dayton with farm land. Len is now retired.

Chuck and Linda Danielson are Dayton residents and the Danielsons having a farming background. Chuck is also well known for renovating several large homes in Dayton.

We reminisced with the Danielsons and Hollands. I showed them my fruit trees and then we convened inside and talked. It was great.

Leonard and Cindy have a home south of Mesa in Queen Creek and they have bought and sold a few times. They have a home in Washington in the mountains, close to their children. But they do enjoy coming to Arizona.

A bit later we all drove to Painted Mountain res-taurant and had a late lunch. We had a nice table for six with good views of the golf course and Superstition mountains.

We reminisced about our mutual friends. Larry Hansen , who passed away around Christmas late last year, was well remembered. ““I don’t ever recall Larry saying a negative word about anyone,” said Leonard. “That’s just the way he was.”

Leonard and Cindy recalled the time some years back when Larry and Linda visited them at their home in Washington. Leonard talked to Larry shortly before he died and Larry was still in an upbeat mood.

Linda Danielson made Larry some rice pudding

that he liked towards the end. The Danielsons and Hol-lands recalled all of the valuable contributions Larry made while serving on the Dayton Ambulance Squad, and all those decades when he was the band instructor in our school system. Larry led by example. Our state and our nation needs more Larry Hansens.

Chuck and Linda have had a residence in Bran-son for many years and the entertainment industry was discussed. And from that conversation Leonard was asked about his relationship with Elvis Presley.

Leonard was practicing law in California (be-fore coming to Dayton) and one of his clients said he knew Elvis. His client thought that it would be a good idea if Elvis and Leonard could talk sometime. Leonard was a little dubious about this, but said he would consider that possibility.

One day Leonard received a phone call at his law office. “Hello, I’m Elvis Presley and I wanted to talk to you,” said the man.

“And I’m Vic Damone,” responded Leonard. That was a short conversation.

A short time later Elvis and Leonard talked again on the phone at the office. It seemed that Elvis liked to talk on the phone. Because of his celebrity status, it was difficult to do things in public. And Elvis didn’t seem to trust people in his entourage, most of whom were all “yes” people.

Leonard noticed that when Elvis called him at the office all the typewriters were silent. There was utter silence in the office as the staff wanted to listen to the conversation. “We didn’t get any work done when Elvis called,” Leonard stated.

Leonard didn’t disclose any sort of attorney-client relationship. But the phone calls from Elvis did continue for many years. And one time Elvis called Leonard’s mother in Fort Dodge, wishing her a Happy Birthday. Leonard’s mother was enchanted of course and called the Fort Dodge Messenger which featured a story about this Birthday greeting from Elvis. After that story appeared several people drove by her home as if it were an extension of Graceland.

It was wonderful to see the Hollands again. They were a big part of our Dayton-Webster County area for many years. They have good memories about our Dayton-Gowrie area.

Later the Danielsons came back to visit us for a day and night, and then they drove to Saddlebrook, AZ, where they were guests of Jim and Dorothy Nelson. And on Friday and Saturday the Nelsons had several visitors from many states, but they were all former Dayton resi-dents. The Danielson visit and this wonderful weekend retreat at the Nelson residence will be covered in the next few weeks.

s/Jan MesserlyWebster County Treasurer

Song and dance with a heartfelt message are com-ing to Stratford on March 29. The Praise Puppets, a min-istry of Christ Community Church in Ames, will bring their brand new program "The Struggle Bus" to Stratford First Baptist Church for a free 3 p.m. show, and the whole community is invited.

"The Struggle Bus" is a mix of drama and music tell-ing the story of four young friends on a road trip with their youth pastor. Along the way they encounter the typi-cal pitfalls of a long drive: traffic, weather and way too many games of "Fuzzy Bear."

In the process, they learn the power of God's simple command to love others and how that can change the world in ways they could never have expected.

The Praise Puppets coming to Stratford March 29...

Praise Puppeteers are students in sixth grade through high school. Students become team members by complet-ing a month or more of training in puppet skills, choreog-raphy and being a good team member.

The Praise Puppets are a ministry of Christ Commu-nity Church, formerly known as First Evangelical Free Church, in Ames, Iowa. The team is led by a group of adults and "emeritus" puppeteers from the church.

Praise Puppets perform across Iowa and occasionally around the Midwest at the invitation of churches, nursing homes, camps and other organizations.

There is no formal charge or admission fee for Praise Puppets performances. For more information about the program, visit www.thepraisepuppets.com.

Mom’s rag bagI have mentioned before that I am a child of the

“great depression” and realize that there are fewer and fewer of us so I realize that a number of readers may not be able to totally relate to some of my “growing up” sto-ries. However I hope that younger ones may still like hearing some of these tales, similar possibly to what you parents, grand or great grandparents have told you. But to you of my peers, that “have not, want not” era and oth-ers whose parents in the next generation may have still adhered to that theory and way of living I have a question to ask – Did your Mom have a Rag Bag?

I think everyone had a rag bag, bin, box or other stor-age for “rags”. Everything had a use of some kind until it had disintegrated. Men’s well worn but not full of holes undershirts and T shirts, when well worn but not totally threadbare, could be cut into great dusting and clean-ing rags. It was easy to put a nice layer of them into the “spring lock” floor mops.

Most men wore their blue chambray shirts a l-o-n-g time and Mom’s and Grandmas patched them as long as the material would hold the patch and then they were relegated to the rag bag. Of course all the buttons were carefully removed and placed in the button box. Women’s print housedresses had some good uses too besides the salvaged buttons. The “good” parts could be cut into quilt pieces and the rest of the worn areas could also be used for dust and cleaning rags.

What was my Mom’s rag bag? It was an old no lon-ger fit to use as originally intended pillow case. It had a special place in the corner of her or the spare room’s clos-et. Sometimes things had to be tied up. What better place to find the tying material than Mom’s rag bag. There was always a rag used to wipe down the wire clothes lines prior to hanging clothes on them. A rag of some kind could polish and shine shoes. Remember having to do that? -- at least every Saturday afternoon or night so you looked presentable on your Saturday night to town jaunts and church the next day.

Sometimes the old sheets, the big ones could be sal-vaged and the good parts put back together as spares for the family beds. You’d never put anything but your best linens on the beds guests were to be using. But all sheets

were white (and kept that way by hang in the sun and us-ing bluing) and so when they could no longer be reused on beds they were probably put in a separate clean pillow case and kept especially clean in case when some sort of blood producing yet not going to the doctor injury oc-curred.

Get out the mercurochrome or iodine and tear some clean strips of a salvaged sheet and you had a bandage. Sometimes it was just tied on but occasionally the sparse-ly used roll of adhesive tape was taken from the medicine cabinet for the purpose of securing the “bandage”.

Old woolen clothes were not stored in a rag bag but hung to the back of one of the closets. We didn’t think of Salvation Army or Goodwill, etc. back then. Not that we didn’t want to be charitable but they were very well worn and had our own purpose. The good parts were cut into blocks for those very heavy tied comforters which were so welcome in the deepest of winter in our farm house’s unheated upstairs bedrooms.

They might also be used to cut strips for “throw rugs”, however one of the most favorite for the rag rugs apparently were those blue chambray shirts and a few of the more colorful house dresses. I remember a lot of blue in those rag rugs which seemed to be scattered ev-erywhere in our house. (They were also called “scatter” rugs.) When there was no quilting going on in some of those well earned leisurely winter evenings I can remem-ber my Mom cutting the rags. They had to be a particular width and have a special fold, then wound into big balls. Those balls were eventually taken to a rug weaver. Ev-ery area had a rug weaver, so it seems. She/he had a big wooden loom on which the rugs were woven.

You had been advised how many balls of a cer-tain dimension it would take to make a rug of the size you desired. This craft was still in popular use for several years after I mar-ried as my Mom gave me several rugs over the years. They lasted a long, long time and protected various areas in one’s home. I still like rag rugs but have to buy the “ready” not as well made ones.

I venture to state that homemakers of today do not have a rag bag nor have they ever heard of them. We don’t need them. We either throw away or give away unused clothing and linens. We buy paper products for about every purpose. We have clean-ing products along with the various types of purchased “applicators” of those products. We have dif-ferent kinds of vacuums, Swiffers, 409, Comet, Clo-rox, sprays for every pur-pose and we have Neospo-rin, bandage pads, band aids, tape, etc. We live in a throw away society and I have to admit I am one of its best members.

I could almost guar-antee that in a third world country if someone would happen to find a “Mom’s Rag Bag” they would revel in it and find many uses. They would use the sheets but maybe for sa-rong type clothing, baby tie on diapers, an umbrella from the sun, many uses. I know we will not go back to rag bags but perhaps we might (myself included es-pecially) try to be a little more conservative. But now that I have preached my sermon I will probably not heed it any more than others. Let’s just hope our lives don’t become “rag bags”. Happy memories!

Remember...

“very pushy toward the land owners forgetting that they do not have a permit yet for the pipeline.”

Ed wrote in his blog from the weekend that “Land-owners are asking a lot of legal, procedural and techni-cal questions that he can’t answer. Managing this critical task is David Goodner of the Des Moines Catholic Work-er. David is one of the most promising young organizers I know, and he’s getting back in touch with the hundreds of landowners and rural Iowans I’ve met along the Walk.”

“Of course, with legal questions, it helps to have . . . a lawyer! Several experienced attorneys are working with landowners and other parties opposed to the pipe-line. Wally Taylor with the Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club and I recently discussed the contracts signed by landowners – many of whom are opposed to the pipeline. Here’s what Wally shared:

“A number of attorneys agree that the easements landowners are signing or being asked to sign by Da-kota Access have serious problems that adversely impact landowners. In fact, for landowners who have already signed easements, they could declare the leases null and void. Landowners should not sign anything until they have discussed the easements with an attorney.”

“Review by an attorney would only require a short conference that would not be very expensive but could save the landowners a lot of heartache...” This is only part of Ed’s blog. To read his full blog check out his web-site daily at fallonforum.com/pipeline-walk/.

By: Nicole Presley Giving back to the community could be considered

a hobby to Claire Williamson. The tragic death of his daughter in 1983 and his retirement motivated him to help his community.

While travelling with the railroad company near Storm Lake, Claire met his wife, Darlene. Claire had met her at a bar that evening with her friend. Later that eve-ning Claire and his wife spent the rest of the night talking until 5 a.m.

“We talked about how kids should be raised and everything. We ran the whole gamut on our thoughts on marriage,” said Claire.

Darlene had spent the previous 16 years with an al-coholic husband, with whom she had four children. Since their meeting on July 3, 1967 Claire and Darlene married on November 18, 1967.

In 1968 they had a little girl named Dawn and 15 years later though, a tragedy occurred that Claire will never forget. His daughter was killed by a negligent driv-er while riding her bicycle to school.

The Assistant Attorney General of Wyoming who was driving the car hadn’t cleaned his frosty windshield and couldn’t see clearly.

The police officer had suggested that the Assistant Attorney General be charged with negligent homicide, but was probably not pursued like it should have been. The district attorney who should have pressed charges, didn’t because his friend was the negligent driver.

“I felt there were issues that should have been pushed and they weren’t. The court ruled the man that killed our daughter was 60 percent negligent and our daughter was 40 percent negligent,” said Claire.

Claire’s lawyer had even offered his condolences to the negligent driver after the case had ended.

“I felt like wringing some necks, but there’s nothing I could do,” said Claire.

Although the incident was heartbreaking to Claire and his family, he was able to grow from it and reach out to the community.

Later when Claire moved to Virginia a woman had experienced a similar hardship. Her son was killed while crossing the street after getting off the school bus.

“This is before they had those arms that swung around and made children walk around so the driver could see them,” said Claire.

“This driver had thought the little five-year-old had cleared the bus and took off and ran over him. Killed him. My wife wrote to the lady and her husband and said we’ve been through similar circumstances if you want to talk sometime, feel free to call us.”

A couple of weeks later, the mother of the little boy called Darlene and asked if she and Claire could talk to them about how they had dealt with their daughter’s

death. Claire and Darlene talked to them about how they

handled the situation and how they felt during the ordeal. After talking to this family the father enrolled in the

law enforcement academy in Virginia and became a po-lice officer.

Claire and Darlene had also previously attended a support group that served as therapy. They were able to start a petition to legally protect the busy street where his daughter was killed in Wyoming.

Although his marriage and his family has recovered from his daughter’s death, Claire said his childhood was turbulent.

Claire was raised in Fort Dodge with his two sisters Mary and Bernice. He spent his time fishing, hunting, and ice skating during the winter. While his hobbies were en-joyable, his parents were not. Claire was verbally abused until he quit school and left for military service.

“My memories of my childhood are vivid and I re-sent that,” said Claire.

Claire didn’t finish high school. In 1959 Claire had left for the service. It wasn’t until he came back that he graduated from high school in 1963 with a 3.75 grade point average, which was a turn around from his poor grades previous to 1959.

“I could have done it back then, but the desire wasn’t there,” said Claire.

After receiving his high school diploma Claire attended one year of college on a scholar-ship through Hormel, a food company. He didn’t continue with college be-cause he already had a job at New Idea, which included farm implement assembly.

Claire was soon laid off and commenced a ca-reer with three railroad companies for the next 35 years including the Chi-cago Northwestern, Union Pacific and Southern Pa-cific.

Claire has lived in several locations for his railroad job, including Wyoming, Kansas, Vir-ginia, West Virginia, Col-orado, and Nebraska.

In the last several years of his job Claire was a Manager of Locomotive Operations.

After Claire’s final job in Omaha, Nebraska, he moved to Dayton in 2001. Claire was able to

retire comfortably. Since his retirement Claire volunteers for his community.

He belongs to the Lion’s club, the Dayton Commu-nity Club, is secretary of the Dayton Community Grocery Board of Directors, is in charge of pie sales for the Bingo fundraiser at the Dayton Rodeo, and is an emergency medical technician for the Dayton Rescue Squad.

Originally Claire drove the ambulance for the rescue squad, but went back to school to become an EMT.

“Here I am at 70 years of age and I’m now going back to college. They wanted me to get my EMT certifi-cation...They have to be 95% assured that you know what you’re doing or they won’t issue a certification. They tell you the test will end short if you don’t know what you’re doing. The test could also end early if they feel you do know what you’re doing,” said Claire.

“I was 75 questions in and it shut down. I thought oh my gosh. I blew it, you know? They were asking questions we never reviewed in class….I went online Wednesday and here I see my national number and my state number. I passed it.”

After taking care of someone while working with the rescue squad, Claire likes to check in to see how they’re doing.

“I do care about people. When we go on runs I will sometimes call them and see how they’re doing,” said Claire.

“It’s good giving back to the community. These small towns just do not make it without volunteers. That’s a lot of what I do, volunteer.”

SV girl’s track team starts the season off right

The Southeast Valley girls track team started their season at the ISU indoor meet.

Usually the team enjoys getting a chance to com-pete inside out of the cold weather The high for Monday topped 70 degrees. The Jaguars longed to be competing outside to escape the suffocating heat of the indoor track. The team felt it was difficult to breath making running well tough.

The competition at ISU was stout. Most of the other school attending were 3A and 4A schools.

The girls team ran hard and had some great times and Coach Swieter left the meet excited for the rest of the season.

Dayton residents into three groups with leaders in each group, one of whom was Chuck Danielson. The session focused on “memory sharing” on Dayton. The Danielsons stayed in the guest house on the large Nelson residential lot and several other former Dayton residents stayed Friday night at a second home adjacent to the Nelson residence. The other Dayton residents had accommodations at the Catalina Inn. The accommodations , food, and entertainment provided for the two days were all complements of the Nelsons. The group reminisced about the LeValley Cafe, skating rink, former teachers, community churches, and so much more. There was so much laughter and contentment. Jim had a yearning to look back at his roots and he want-ed reflections from people he knew in Dayton. It was a wonderful weekend. The Dayton Review will have more coverage on this event in coming weeks.

Dayton friends reunite at special gathering. . .

Jim Nelson, seated, formerly of Dayton, never forgot his Dayton roots. He is a good friend of Chuck Danielson, Dayton, who presented an “award” to his friend concerning a certain membership in a Dayton club of boys organized in the fifties. We’ll have a bigger story on the Dayton memo-ries weekend in our next edition.
