Snow accumulation 5 to 12 inches... Area schools and business were closed

Tuesday, Feb. 2. due to a massive snow storm. Sport events and Groundhog day festivities were also rescheduled. The storm continued for most of the day. The snow storm total accumulation was between 5 to 12 inches across Webster County. It

was reported that Fort Dodge received 9.7 inch-es, Otho 10 inches, and Gowrie reported receiv-ing 12 inches. Strong winds of 25-45 mph made the day even more challenging for road crews. They did a great job though with the challenges they faced trying to keep the roads as clear as possible.

The Marlin Benson Fun Run took place Satur-day, Feb. 6 and seemed to be destined for success. Be-ginning with the snow storm which occurred Tuesday, Feb. 2 laying a fresh layer of snow. Temperatures stayed low throughout the week to not melt any of the snow, which was one of the key factors for this event to take place. Webster County Ice Breakers is a club dedicated to creating a good trail system in Webster County, IA for all snowmobile enthusiasts to enjoy. The Webster County Ice Breakers operate two Groomers that they affectionately call Clank and Clunk. Clank and Clunk along with their operators smoothed out trails over the mapped course to allow for a smooth ride. The morning of the Fun Run excitement and anticipation for the beautiful day ahead was with the rid-ers. There were 197 people registered for the fun run this year. This made for a great turn out.

Evan Mcready and Soph. Heavy-weight Matt Ross placed fifth. "We were pleased with the three young men that ad-vanced to Districts where competition gets really tough. Kyler wrestled his best tournament of the year wrestling aggressively and staying in good position. Trey and Kaelan ran into some pretty tough seniors from Perry in the finals. Overall the coaches were happy with the progress of our young team. Of the twelve wrestlers we entered in Sectionals, seven were freshman with three sophomores. Some of our young kids didn't start wres-tling until their 7th or 8th grade year, so we are hoping these young men will continue to work hard in the off season building for the future of Jaguar wrestling.

Money raised from the Fun Run is donated to the Namakagon Trail Groomers to sponsor the Marlin Benson Trail, a high school scholarship and the rest of the money goes directly into upkeep of the trails, groom-ers (Clank and Clunk), drags and trails. The trail named after Marlin was a place he loved to ride. He shares the trail with a memorial for a local who was loved by all, Charlie Best. Marlin Benson, son of Leland and Donna Ben-son, was born April 8, 1956 and passed away on Dec. 27, 2007. He graduated from Prairie Community High School in 1974. Marlin enjoyed NASCAR Racing, snowmobiling with friends in Wisconsin, and truck and tractor pulling.

This is a column written by Glenn Schreiber from 2004. There is an item on Jean Satres daughter in RAGBRAI, a speaker at West Central Coop who talked about small weekly newspapers, and then an item about my friend Vic Pernell (in Hurricane Char-ley). Vic died this past year in a car accident.

LeAnn Dawson, daughter of Jean Satre, Dayton, participated in RAGBRAI. She biked from Fort Dodge to Iowa Falls. Jean and Gail Lundquist, a friend of LeAnns, drove to Iowa Falls to pick up LeAnn. LeAnn, who is a nurse at Iowa Methodist in Des Moines, runs every day. She is quite a fitness buff and said the 60mile trek she handled in RAGBRAI was easy. For her, yes. Nurses really do know how to take care of them-selves. Baxter Black is a noted speaker, columnist, hu-morist, and he does commentary on National Public Radio. He addressed one of the annual meetings of West Central Coop not many years ago. Last week the Iowa Newspaper Association featured a column Black had written about small weekly newspapers in the United States. A portion of that column is reprinted as follows: What is it about my local paper that I love? Its called the News-Sun and lists the commu-nities it serves under the masthead; the largest, popula-tion 3500, the smallest, 200, if that.

Community Club in Daytonnot serving everyonein a fair, respectful mannerWake up Dayton! Can anyone remember when two officers of the Community Club in Dayton were seeking to secure a loan for a business to compete against an already established business in Dayton? It probably never happened before, but in a bi-zarre situation Kendra Breitsprecher and Meredith Gal-lentine, officers in the Dayton Community Club, led an organized effort to secure a $100,000 loan for a second medical clinic in Dayton! Kendra Breitsprecher, owner of the Dayton Leader, and Meredith Gallentine, employed by Sandholm Insurance and Real Estate, made several accusations against Community Health Center of Dayton at a special city council meeting Wednesday, Jan. 27. They led a group effort to secure that $100,000 loan that would have been guaranteed by the City of Dayton. No banks or oth-er institutions would have guaranteed this loan. Renae Kruckenberg, CEO of Community Health Center of Fort Dodge and Dayton, attended the meeting and did an excellent job answering the attacking questions and comments by Kendra. Meredith was every bit as determined to undermine the current clinic. Their criticisms, sometimes harsh in tone by Kendra, were well handled by Kruckenberg. At the end of this session of the loan discussion, Kendra made the motion to approve the $100,000 loan that would be guaranteed by the City of Dayton and no other council member would second the motion. Thank-fully the matter, for now, was defeated. Community Club is an organization that should represent all the people of Dayton, in the area and lo-cal and area businesses in a fair manner. It is apparent that Community Club was not considering the interest of many local Dayton residents and people in the area when two officers promoted a $100,000 loan for a second medical clinic. The Rotary Club has a four way test on things we think, say, or do. 1. Is it the truth? 2. Is it fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build good will and better friendships? 4. Will it be beneficial for all concerned? The $100,000 loan proposal for a second clinic was not fair to all concerned, did not build good will and better friendships, and was certainly not beneficial to all concerned. For example Community Health Center of Dayton is one of the few Health clinics that serve people without insurance and People who are under-insured.

Jesus Loves Me

With Valentines Day coming up in 4 days, many of us are thinking about how we can show our love to the special people in our lives. A song that reassures us of the most precious love is the title of this meditation. Weve all sung the song many times It is a song that is a favorite, for who doesnt like to be told that Jesus loves us? Im sure that the song is one of the first songs that little children learn. I have discovered though, that as I have progressed into my senior years, the words of that simple song mean more than ever to me. The message of the song is overwhelming, for we sometimes struggle with the thought that Jesus, Gods Son, loves us. We struggle with that knowledge because we know the sins we have committed and later regretted. In thinking about it, have any three words ever meant as much to us? I doubt it, and they are words that reassure us that when we get to Heaven, we can tell our Lord & Savior, Jesus, that we love Him too. Jesus love for us is the one thing our Heavenly Father never wants us to forget. Because of Jesus, giving His life on a cross or us, we are forgiven and loved! What a wonderful, loving and forgiving God we have! Lets sing that song today! Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your love. Help us to become more worthy of that love. In Jesus Holy Name. Amen

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, February 11, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. at the Lehigh Christian Church. Burial will be in West Lawn Cemetery, Lehigh.

She attended Lehigh Public School and graduated as Saluta-torian of her class in 1947. On June 26, 1948, she was united in marriage to Melvin Linn at the United Brethren Church in Lehigh. Mary and Melvin lived in Lehigh during the years they raised their children. Then they built a home in Burnside and lived in Dayton for a short time. They re-turned home to Lehigh in 2003. Lehigh was the place that was home to Mary. She loved the little town that sat in the valley of the Des Moines River and that was home to the Lehigh Brick and Tile Company. She loved to share memories of living in the house near the tile company, walking up the hill to the school, and going to town on Saturday nights. After her children were grown, she worked as a seamstress at Lil-lians Dress Shop in Fort Dodge. Her love of sewing and crafts led her to open her own ceramic shop in her home in Lehigh. Mary and Mel-vin loved to collect and share the things that brought good memories to people so they opened Remember When antique shop on Main Street in Lehigh. Mary enjoyed sewing, crafts, crochet, ceramics, dolls, quilting and col-lecting. She and Melvin enjoyed many years as vendors at local flea markets and craft shows. She loved her fam-ily, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. And she loved to go to town for ice cream and visit with friends. She had a lovely, lovely smile. In her later years, Mary enjoyed listening to her favorite hymns on her CD player. She was especially fond of the old hymns sung by Alan Jackson. Mary became a resident of Grandview Care Center in 2013. Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.

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

Earlier in the day I had completed last weeks memory and then mid-afternoon I sat down in my easy chair and was channel surfing to see if there was anything worth watching on that Saturday afternoon. I would probably nod off anyway but still ---. My surfing took me to RFDTV, a channel I seldom watch tho enjoy when I happen to come upon a polka party. Wow! Do you know what was on that day? As the show popped up here came THE LONE RANGER or his horse, Silver. This was just after I had written about Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and all their sidekicks. Of course I quit my surfing and watched this old, old program. I soon learned that there had been a cattle rustling. How The Lone Ranger and Tonto got separated I had missed but with The Lone Ranger was the rancher whose cattle had been rustled. He apparently was a bit of a Milquetoast and subservient to his wife for years. In other words, she wore the pants and called the shots about all their household and ranching. Next I learned that Tonto had apparently learned the where-abouts of the rustlers and the cattle. They were in an old abandoned shack in an isolated area quite a way from the ranch. However the rustlers caught him skulking around and captured him. They tied him up in a chair (which must have handily been left in the cabin for the sake of this story). In the meantime, back at the ranch, the Mis-sus and the hired hand were wondering where her hubby was. Then it switched back to the Lone Ranger and the rancher. About that time Tontos horse, Scout, went gal-loping by without Tonto so they followed the horse which led them to the shack and the cattle. Fast forward The Lone Ranger gave the rancher a quick and very adequate lesson in shooting a gun. He still wasnt very confident but the Lone Ranger assured him he could handle it if needed. Well, of course, he needed it. They made their way into the cabin and the rancher actually winged one of the rustlers. They freed Tonto and took the rustlers into custody. Back to the ranch again. When the rancher, Lone

Silver, Scout & Trigger Still Galloping...Ranger and Tonto walked in the wife started laying into the husband only to have him stand up to her and put her in her place. He ordered HER to cook HIM some supper after all these years and she melted immediately. Get em up Scout! -- Hi ho Silver! -- Who was that masked man?? I decided to stay with that channel to see what was next and would you believe the next program was Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. I still had to laugh, at least to myself. It was still shades of the old west -- settings, town, buildings, etc., and while Pat Brady appeared he didnt have Nellybelle. This time there was an older ve-hicle, apparently in connection with the hotel in their town and they called it the stage. It, however, was and old thirties/forties woody station wagon, the only motorized vehicle to appear in the program. Near the end people drove up in a really old looking open buggy, 1890s/early 1900s style. To this day, I cant remember my children or others thinking that the occasional motor vehicle in these episodes was out of era. They just ac-cepted it and enjoyed the program. Of course, this one had the usual theme, bad guys do something wrong and good guys, Roy and Dale solve it and help the sheriff arrest the bad guy (in this case) and recover stolen prop-erty. I have to admit that I sometimes quite enjoy the retro TV offerings (not just oaters when I find them) but I wonder how long they will keep showing them as both The Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers films, shown in their original black and white, were now more of a sepia color. The music was still quite clear but tech-nology says that can be updated now. I hope that these old films will be preserved for many generations to see rather than trying to reproduce as our generations have had to do with period movies. I realize too it is show-ing my age reallyand beginning to show my own childrens ages too when I realize how long ago they first aired. I havent checked with my grandchildren or great grandchildren but can imagine some of them would still enjoy the old westerns. Have I jogged anyone elses memories lately?

Southeast Valley Schedule of Events

The Southeast Valley 7th Grade Boys Basket-ball recently concluded their season. After the holiday break the Jags first contest was with the Tigers from Gilbert. The Jaguars traveled to Gil-bert for the game. Both teams came out ready to play and the action in the game proved it. In the end the Jaguars came away with a hard fought 27-26 victory. The Jags were lead in scoring by a new member of the team. Ev-erett Lahr scored 10 point in his SV debut. Lane Fevold and Blake Peterson both had 6 points. Jaxson Carlson and Sammy Sytsma each had 2 and Breyton Cline rounded out scoring with one point. The next contest was against more Tigers This time it was the Tigers from Madrid. It was also the last home game for of the sea-son for SV. The Jags had a hard time getting going on the offensive end and foul trouble also proved trouble for Southeast Valley. Madrid got out to a quick start and never looked back. SV trailed 20-8 at have but were able to get the offense going a little better in the second half but lost the contest 42-25. Sam Hanson lead the scor-ing for SV with 17 points all coming in the second half. Carson Lambert had 4, Hunter Sorenson and Everett Lah each had 2 points to round out the scoring. The next day the Jaguars hit the road for the last three games of the season. SV traveled to Ogden a team that they had defeated already during the season. SV came out focussed and determined to compete with the Bulldog for another win. The game was back and forth and Southeast Valley could not get any separation from the Bulldogs. The score at the half was 23-22 in favor of SV. The Jags made some adjustments at halftime and did get that seperation in the second half and went away to win the contest 42-33. Leading the way in scoring for the Jags was again Sam Hanson with 15, Everett Lahr fol-lowed closely behind with 14, Hunter Sorenson stepped up his contribution with 10 points and Parker Garcia had 3 points. It was a good team victory for the Jags. The next contest for SV was to travel to Barnum to do battle with the Cougars from MNW. Earlier in the season SV lost by just 4 points so the Jags were hoping to make it even closer this time out. SV struggled on the offensive end of the floor with the zone defense Manson was playing. The Jags lost the con-test 33-22. Leading the scoring was Sam Hanson with 12 points, Carson Lambert had 4, Everett Lahr had 3, Hunter Sorenson had 2, and Rhett Grandfield had 1 point for

Southeast Valley. The last contest of the year proved to be another battle for the Jags as they traveled to Rockwell City to compete against the Titans of SCCC. They were hoping to get revenge against the Titans as SCCC had defeated SV earlier in the season. The offense again struggled against the much improved Titans, After trailing 32-10 at half, the Jags went down in defeat to the Titans by the score of 53-28. Leading the way again for SV was Sam Hanson with 13 points, Drake Erritt had 6 points which were gotten with 2 long 3 pointers. Lane Fevold had 3, Lane Jones/Popp and Hunter Sorenson had 2 for SV.The young Jags ended the season with a 3-10 mark and would like to thank the fans that came out and supported them all season long.

John Plotner, Dayton, who will turn 80 on May 20, is on the Internet many hours per day. He finds in-teresting information, passing on intriguing photos, anec-dotes, and valuable information to family members and friends. In a way, not much has changed. John, who is now on oxygen 24/7 because of emphysema, had a dis-tinguished business career with several major firms, and prior to that he served several years in World War II. A graduate of Gowrie High School, John en-listed in the U.S. Navy when he was a senior. He served in the South Pacific and Atlantic on a destroyer, the U.S. Wadleigh. Johns ship was involved in seven invasions, but fortunately his ship was never involved in a major sea battle. His ship was involved in the invasion of the Philippines; Marinas; Saipan and Tinian; Imo Jima and Okinawa. The U.S. Wadleigh was the 13th ship to enter Tokyo Bay after WWII. John was a 40-millimeter gunner and he shot at a few Kamikaze planes. His ship did hit a mine in Kos-sol Passage in the invasion of the Philippines Islands and they went back to the states for repairs. That blast demol-ished two engine rooms and one fireroom, killing several

aboard the ship. Some of the military discipline he learned in World War II served him well in business. After the war he met Helen at a dance at the Laramar Ballroom. He attended Grinell College for one year and then married Helen on May 20, 1947, which are his birthday, his par-ents anniversary, and now his wedding anniversary. He graduated from a business college in Mis-souri using the GI bill and was employed by a CPA firm in Shenandoah, IA, for five years. He became chief accountant, plant controller, and office manager for American Metal Company in Ne-braska City, NE, serving them 11 years. He then became controller for United Federal Savings & Loan Associa-tion in Des Moines. Through those distinguished business years John didnt forget his WWII years and the soldiers he served with. The Plotners regularly attended the U.S. Wadleigh reunion. Out of 16 men in the fire control crew, only three

are left. These men, including

John, were in charge of all the guns on the ship. There were many things that John will never forget from his naval expe-

riences. The Japanese didnt believe in surrender, and when their situation was hopeless he remembers a mass suicide, the countless bodies that were floating in the ocean off one of the islands they were targeting for inva-sion. After the war John was one of the servicemen who visited Tokyo. He played with some school children in a school playyard. After that play time a Japanese school teacher thanked me and the other naval personnel for playing with the children, he recalled. John used the 40-millimeter guns to strafe the islands prior to invasion. He used headphones under his helmet to reduce the noise from the loud guns. In his civilian life John worked hard and he also played hard. He fished in the Ozarks, Okoboji, and once every year he fished with his father in Canada. He liked archery, hunting and fishing.

The land surrounding Slifer was given a certifi-cate of location and assignment by order of Congress of the United States in 1855. In 1896 when the Rock island Rail Road built a line north and west from Gowrie, an elevator was built in 1897, east and to the south of the now present Slifer, and known as Elmo. This elevator was built by a Line Com-pany and the first manager was Andy Larson. This first elevator burned about 10 or 15 years later. A new elevator was built at the present location and renamed Slifer, after a railroad conductor. Slifer was never incorporated. The first train went through in 1902 and in 1972 the railroad was discontinued after 70 years of service. The depot was torn down in the 1960s after standing since the late 1890s. In the early years the elevator was individually owned. Lehman Henry Ewing later was chairman of the board forming an organization that became The Slifer Elevator Company, In 1964 this company merged with Farnhamville and Rinard and is now known as the The Farmers Co-operative Company doing a grain and fertil-izer business. A general merchandise store was built about the time the railroad went through and managed by Al-got Julander and John Goughnour, and sold everything from groceries, to shoes, nails and kerosene. In 1914 John Madson built a new store. It was run by Harry and Char-lie Madson. In 1934 this store burned but was rebuilt the same year. It closed its doors in the late 1950s. The Slifer Savings Bank was built and orga-nized in 1914 with O. W. Madson as cashier. During the depression years of the 1930s it moved to Farnhamville and is now known as The Security Bank. In 1911, the church of the Brethren was built. J. N. Goughnour donated the ground for the church site.

In 1956 the Roland Township Danish Evangeli-cal Lutheran church, which was organized in 1894 and built in 1899, disbanded in 1948 and the Slifer church bought the building for $1.00 in 1949. It was moved and joined to the existing church and completed in 1957. A destructive tornado hit Slifer on May 5, 1965, destroying the church, parsonage and other buildings. The present church is two buildings put together. The Slifer Garage was opened in 1940 by Louis Vaudt and Herman Kail. In 1957 Albert and Louis Vaudt formed the Slifer Manufacturing Company which made egg washers. The company moved in 1958. The post office in Slifer was located in the store. It first opened in 1918. Later it was moved to the bank building until it was closed. Mail at first came by train, then a Star Route delivered it and at present a rural mail carrier serves the area from Gowrie. A blacksmith shop run by Martin Thorsrud was of much interest in the years of 1924 and 1925. The lum-ber material was bought and brought here from the dis-mantled Camp Dodge barracks in Des Moines. A farm to market blacktop road was put in 1958 and has brought much traffic trough Slifer since it is a short cut from Highway 30 to Highway 20.. In 1970 the Arco Chemical Company was built and in 1972 The First Mississippi Inc. bought it.

Record low temps in Dayton areaJan. 5, 6 By Samantha Lee

On January 5 and 6, Dayton, along with the rest of Iowa exprienced record low tempea-tures due to a distored polar vortex. Dayton reached a low of -22 degrees farenheight. And that doesnt take the wind chill into account. Churches were closed on Sunday due to the weather. Many schools were closed Monday and delayed Tuesday morning due to the sub-zero tempeatures. Many other businesses decided to let their employees hunker down, stay home, and keep out of the cold. The extremely cold weather traveled across America causing cold tempuratures across the nation. A polar vortex is a circulation of strong, upper-level winds that usually are by the north-ern pole. Usually these winds tend to stay in the arctic regions. The vortex became distorted and dipped much farther south than normal. This al-lowed the frigid air to spill southward.

IDALS Releases Iowa Water Quality Initiative 2016 Legislative Report On Thursday, January 28, 2016, the Iowa De-partment of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) issued a press release in which Iowa Secretary of Agri-culture Bill Northey highlighted the Iowa Water Quality Initiative 2016 Legislative Report during his presentation to the Agriculture and Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee. The 8-page report provides an update on the $3.5 million made available for statewide cost share for water quality practices and on the 29 demonstration projects that were operating across the state last year to help implement and demonstrate water quality practices. The report also gives and update on Tracking/ Account-ability and efforts by the Iowa Nutrient Research Center at Iowa State University. The Iowa DNR also provided an update on the efforts of point sources that is included in the report. During the hearing, Agriculture Secretary Northey also highlighted the $10 million request for the Water Quality Initiative would allow IDALS to continue offering cost share statewide to farmers trying new wa-ter quality practices, expand work in targeted watersheds to achieve measurable water quality improvements, and continue to develop new programs to help engage all Io-wans in water quality efforts. IDALS received $9.6 mil-lion for the current fiscal year for the Water Quality Ini-tiative. A copy of the report can be found at www.Io-waAgriculture.gov under Hot Topics or at http://www.cleanwateriowa.org/news-and-blog.aspx. Last fall Northey announced that 1,800 farmers committed $3.5 million in cost share funds to install nu-trient reduction practices in each of Iowas 99 counties. The practices that were eligible for this funding are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibi-tor when applying fall fertilizer. Participants include 980 farmers using a practice for the first time and more than 830 past users that are trying cover crops again and are receiving a reduced-rate of cost share. Farmers using cost share funding contribute 50% or more to the total cost of the practice. In addition, 32 demonstration projects are now located across the state to help implement and dem-onstrate water quality practices. This includes 16 targeted watershed projects, 7 projects focused on expanding the use and innovative delivery of water quality practices and 9 urban water quality demonstration projects. More than 100 organizations are participating in these projects. These partners will provide $16.72 million dollars to go with the $11.11 million in state funding going to these projects.Tax Fraudsters Beware The Iowa Department of Revenue estimates they had more than 10,000 fraudulent tax returns last year. Of those, more than 2,000 were for refund claims using identities stolen from Iowans. To combat that, this tax season the department will up their technology game to track fraud, validate bank accounts, and share informa-tion with the IRS and other states. Iowa was not alone last year in reporting a slew of fake state returns filed through TurboTax software preparation. Many states reported that thieves had stolen 2013 tax returns to help them file a fraudulent return in 2014. Many of the new anti-fraud procedures came out of a security summit the IRS hosted where government

officials, tax software companies, and state departments decided to really work together. Iowa and other states are strengthening measures to keep taxpayer information secure. Iowa is also restricting refunds to prepaid cards because of their known preference by fraudsters due to the difficulty in tracking them.The Iowa Revenue Department has added six temporary employees to assist with phone calls during tax season, which is well underway.I was honored to visit with Sherri Nielsen President and Chief Executive Officer of Easter Seals Iowa andCamp Sunnyside. It was my pleasure to visit with an Ambassador of Easter Seals of Iowa, Angie Hulsebus, as well!

ISU Extension and Outreach workshop Tuesday, Feb. 18Transplant production for vegetable producers... Growing quality transplants is the topic of a day-long Iowa State University Extension and Outreach workshop Tuesday, Feb. 18 at the Webster County Ex-tension Office 217 South 25th St., Suite C12, Fort Dodge, IA 50501-4676. Speaker Ajay Nair, assistant professor with the ISU Department of Horticulture and vegetable produc-tion specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach, says that transplant production plays a key role in a success-ful vegetable production system.

The workshop will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Extension and Outreach office in Fort Dodge. Sessions will focus on growing medium, insect and dis-ease management, watering and fertilization, lighting, and hardening off transplants.

Dayton ReviewOnline

store and the busiest place in town. We subscribed the year before we moved to the community. We read about our future neighbors, the real estate ads, city politics, school activities, and the antics of local characters. Letters to the editor was my favorite part of the paper then. It still is today. Ironically, they were carrying my weekly col-umn, but when we moved here they discontinued it! It was a relief, actually. The column is published nationally and written with a broad stroke. However, when your next-door neighbor or Sunday School teacher thinks it only runs locally, they suspect you of pretending grandiosity. The compensation was that the closest big-city paper (many thousands circulation) picked it up. Small town papers often thrive because CNN or the New York Times are not going to scoop them for cov-erage of the VFW fish fry, bridge construction delay, or lo-cal boys and girls playing baseball, receiving scholarships, graduating, getting married, or going off the war. I think of local papers as the last refuge of unfil-tered America. A running documentary of the warts and triumphs of real people unfettered by the spin, the bias and the opaque polish of todays homogenized journalism. It is the difference between homemade bread and Pop Tarts. It gives our little community a sense of place in the world. We are important to somebody. We make a difference. The paper recognizes that. They are the glue, the mirror, the billboard, the flashlight, the semaphore, the boom box, and the micro-phone of small towns. It is how we hold hands. They care. They show we care. They wear our hearts on their sleeve. Is it accurate to say that I really love my local paper? Well, its not quite the proper word, but I cant think of a better one. Vic Pernell, my friend from Port Charlotte, Flor-ida, called Friday of last week. He was outside watch-ing the hurricane unfold in front of his eyes, on Friday, Aug. 13. He was thinking about leaving Florida before the storm hit the shores, but he had never witnessed a hur-ricane. And he wanted to see it. Well, he got his wish and then some. He was calling on his cell phone and he promised to call the next day. I called him repeatedly Saturday and Sunday, but got no answer. On Monday morning I was able to make con-tact. I lost everything, he said. My house is gone and everything in it is gone, he sighed. There isnt elec-tricity in his area and he wasnt able to recharge his cell phone, so he wasnt able to reach anyone for most of the weekend. All of the stores in area are demolished, he said. There just isnt much left. I invited him to come and stay with me and then we were cut off again. Vic was one of thousands of people to lose their homes. His home was right on an estuary, a short distance from the gulf coast. The hardest hit areas of Hurricane Charlie were Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte. At least 10 people died and scores of people were missing. There is no water and no electricity although relief efforts are well under way. Please say a prayer for Vic and all the people who suffered losses in this tragic storm.

Facts Show Continued Investment in Education

Education funding was discussed last week in the Iowa Senate. Undoubtedly, this is a topic likely to be revisited throughout the legislative session. I will continue to stress the importance of re-sponsible spending and treating our state budget like we do our family budget which means we must not spend more than we receive. It is vital we do not overpromise only to under deliver. Recent Revenue Estimating Conference reports indicate state revenues are not rising as anticipated. In fact, revenue growth is stagnant. The ag economy is not as strong as in recent years due to lagging commodity prices. We also were dealt a significant blow last spring when the avian flu devastated our poultry industry. All of these factors impact Iowas economy and our state bud-get. We kno
