Dayton Band, Mourning Glory, elected

to Iowa Rockn Roll Hall of Fame

The Mourning Glory Rock band, which started
in Dayton, has been elected into the Iowa Rock N Roll
Hall of Fame. The band was formed in Dayton in 1971.

Mourning Glory, in recent years, has appeared
several times at the Dayton Alumni Reunion. All four
members were friends at Dayton High School.

Mourning Glory was nominated for the Iowa
Rock N Roll Hall and then chosen by an Iowa RNR
Board of Directors.

The band will be officially inducted into the
IRNR Hall of Fame Sept. 4 at the Sami Bedell Center for
the Performing Arts in Spirit Lake.

The group Mourning Glory began in 1971 when
four friends from Dayton High School in Dayton came
together to share their love of rock music. The four had
known each other for years and two of them - Don Myers on guitar and Joe LeValley on Drums, had played together in at least three previous groups.

In 1971, Don and Joe were joined by Roger Peterson on Keyboards and Mark Plahn on bass.
A studio was created in a small farmhouse, loaned
to them by Leo Blanchet, a farmer near Dayton and the
father of another high school friend. Nicknamed The
Mansion, this little building just five minutes from town
provided the group the home it needed.

Having a full-time space allowed the group to
keep its equipment set up all week, and to practice four or
five nights a week when not gigging.

Other Dayton residents assisted the group with
the free printing of posters, free use of an enclosed truck
for traveling to performances and, perhaps most importantly, opportunities to perform.

Three friends were credited for providing the
cornerstones of support for the group: Robert Blanchet,
the late Bob Brockman, and Bruce Hagge. Allan Bass, a
high school friend, also was a great help, especially dur-

get visit from Peterson Post 431
Special guests David Anderson, Megan McMahon...

Jim Peterson of Peterson Post 431 has been
instrumental the past several years in providing fifthgraders opportunity to participate in a national flag essay
contest.

In conjunction with the contest sponsored by local American Legion posts, special guests David Anderson (Post 431) and Megan McMahon (Post 491) visited
the fifth-graders in Burnside.

The visit provided opportunity for students to
ask questions and receive direct responses from veterans.
Emma, Megans service dog, was a big attraction. Flag

etiquette and history were the focus topics of the presentation.

The guests also demonstrated how to properly
fold the American flag. Informational comic books and
bookmarks were given to each student. Following the
visit, students finalized their essays, which were then
submitted for judging by area veterans.

The first-place writing was sent on to the regional contest. Local winners will be announced at a later
date. The visit and efforts of local legionnaires is much
appreciated.

Gift From God....

This is a heartwarming, true story I related in
a column in 2010. It is a miraculous story and some
will need a hanky at the end of this story.

I escorted my mother Rosalie to a Valentines
Banquet Saturday, Feb. 13, at Tempe Nazarene Church,
Tempe, AZ. It was a fund-raiser for the Womens Ministry and it appeared to be a routine evening, until everyone
heard a stunning testimonial.

It was a slightly formal occasion, but many like
me were dressed in casual attire. The banquet/ dining
room was nicely decorated and several types of fundraising activities were being conducted.

My friend Jill Pack played her harp, providing background music for the early festivities and meal,
which was catered Italian food. No one expected the dramatic story that would be given later.

After the meal and introductions, Jill and Phyllis Reed, playing flute, concluded their performance and
Dave and Kirsten Hart were on stage singing.

They are professionals who sing/perform as a
full-time career, and they were very good. As the couple
performed several contemporary Christian music selections, and then some romantic ballads (because of Valentines Day), I thought this would be a nice, but fairly routine type of concert. Later in the program, Kirsten took
the microphone and told the story of their lives.

The couple struggled in the beginning, and they
endured some financial hardships. But they managed to
raise three boys, one of whom is a star athlete at a Division II college.

Gradually over the years the married singing
duo received some acclaim and they became somewhat
successful, traveling all over the United States singing
at churches, church sponsored activities, or other venues
where their Christian music would be in demand.

After more than 20 years of marriage, the couple
received an invitation to perform on a cruise. This was a
big development and the first such offer that had been
made to David and Kirsten. They accepted and then were
told that they would need passports.

We had moved several times, and we were always traveling to perform in different cities. I needed a
birth certificate to get my passport, and I didnt want to
search through all the boxes, so I called the appropriate
county office in New York, Kirsten related.

Kirsten gave her name, maiden name, and other
pertinent facts for this government office. They didnt
have anything on file. There was no birth recorded in her
year of birth, or for any other year.

There must be some mistake. She repeated the
information, giving more data. Nothing. There was no
date, no listings whatsoever. Kirsten made a few more
calls, followed by more statements that she didnt exist.
Kirsten was exasperated, and one clerk suggested, Perhaps you were adopted. This is one good possibility.

At first Kirsten was defiant and couldnt
fathom that idea, but as days passed by and then weeks,
Kirsten called her parents. She related her problems
and asked them, You are my parents, right? I am your
daughter, arent I?

Why, yes you are our daughter, affirmed her
mother. Absolutely. Both her father and mother were so
positive and reassuring. More days went by and Kirsten
had a rollercoaster of emotions. She needed to know for
sure. She called New York again, asking for information
on children adopted in the 1960s. Those records were
sealed.

But after repeated calls, and several pleadings,
one office worker gave her the information she would
need. There was a baby born on her date, and there was an
adoption. Nothing else could be disclosed. Kirsten ended
that phone call in shock, but later she had a firm resolve.
She must know for sure. She hired a private detective.
The detective was experienced and resourceful. After
some sleuthing, he called Kirsten and reported his findings. Your natural mother was Helen ....and she gave
you birth at (giving her the name of the hospital, time of
birth, and other vital statistics). Your mother gave birth,
you were adopted by (her parents who never divulged
this secret), and your mother vanished. Right now there is
no other information. Kirsten was stunned. She was 42
years old and she had discovered that she was an adopted
baby, that her real mother gave her birth and signed legal
papers for her daughter to be adopted. She asked the
detective to find her real mother. A few weeks later he
called with another report. Her mother still couldnt be
located, but Kirsten had two brothers and a sister. He
gave her their names and addresses.

This was a gift from God, said Kirsten. I still

didnt know much about my mother, but I learned that I

have siblings. This was such a blessing to know. Please
find out anything you can about my mother, Kirsten said
to the detective. This time he traced her mothers history
all the way back to her birth. In the meantime, Kirsten
was contacting her siblings, one of whom actually lived
fairly close to her.

Plans were made for everyone to get together,
and Kirsten was experiencing such joy. Truly, all these
things were wonderful gifts from God, she said. Kirsten
was so deliriously happy to have a reunion with her brothers and sister. She was in total ecstasy. Nothing could be
greater. She was experiencing

50 Years Ago...

40 Years Ago...

Minipulling could well be considered the fastest
growing sport in the Review Area.

Just a few months ago there were no miniature
tractors used in pulling contest in the area. Now there are
dozens.

Kenny Sanders, Dayton, was one of the first in
this area to get involved but even he didnt get a machine
built until November. Sanders said he is running at least
once a week now.

Though the sport is just over three years old
Sanders said he first heard about it on a television news
feature about a year ago. A few days later he saw his first
run of the 1/16 scale tractor models with .051 cubic inch
model airplane engines in Boone.

Since then Sanders has been tracing information on the minipulls and spreading the word on his new
hobby.

Builders of the minipullers generally start with
an ERTL manufactured toy carrying their favorite colors.

Metal is carved away to make room for the engine jack shaft and gears. New axles replace the old and
builders add wider tires that have been shaved to near
slicks.

The key to success according to Jim Crabb,
Colo. a successful puller who has found his way to as
many as seven pulls in nine day is combining the proper
wight distribution, fuel, gears and countless other ingredients

Luck is also very important. Engines can become very fickle and the unexpected is to be expected.

Crabb joined an informal gathering of area minipullers at Don Campbells basement last week to discuss
his art. Campbell, from Dayton had a basement full of
smoke and high pitched noise as are novices from Paton,
Gowrie, Dayton, Farnhamville and Fort Dodge joined
him.

The puller often use a single stock tractor and
add weights to enter them in three, four and five pound
classes.

Crabb was the winner in the last two classes and
had the sole hot rod traitor at Campbells but even the pro
was smitten with misfortune (slipping gears) in the three
pound class. Sanders won that one.

Sanders entered his first competition outside of
the neighborhood on Sunday, Jan. 11 and surprise himself with third place among 53 tractors in the five pound
class at a pull in Marshalltown.

The tractors attempt to run the length of a table
top pulling a skid with moving wight. The tractors pull up
to 10 times their own weight and successful runs go over
a dozen fee.

Sanders and others in the area think there will be
a lot more pulling going on in the future in this year round
sport.

A lot more people echoing Crabbs thoughts as
he saw his first pull. Thats for Me.

Jaguar Girls Basketball team suffers

tough loss to East Sac County
By Ashley Coffman

The Jaguars suffered a tough loss in Sac City on
January 5. The final score was 43-54. Southeast Valley came back from a 17-point deficit in the first half to
make it a close game. Unfortunately, they didnt have
enough time to complete the comeback. At halftime, the
Jags were down by 14 points with the score being 25-39.
The Jaguars were within 7 points entering the 4th quarter.

East Sac County found away to hold SV at arms length

for the remainder of the game.

The Jaguars shot very well from behind the arc.
In a place where the Jags typically struggle shooting, they
made 9 three-pointers. Unfortunately, they only made 6
other field goals. Josie Breitsprecher scored 15 points,
leading the way for the Jaguars. Cassie Zinnel hit 4 threepointers for 12 points.

Aaliyah Scott stepped behind the arc for baskets
on 3 occassions for 9 points. Erica Rittgers encountered
defense that was keying on stopping her. She was faceguarded for the majority of the game. She ended the night
with 3 points. Emma Graves and Kasey Lundberg each
added a basket for 2 points apiece. Breitsprecher and
Scott led the Jaguars in rebounds with 7 rebounds each.
Rittgers pulled down 5 rebounds. Breitsprecher did an
excellent job finding her open teammates while dishing
out 7 assists.

The Southeast Valley Girls basketball team will
be playing again on Tuesday, January 12, at 6:00 in Churdan. The Jaguars currently hold a record of 5-4 and are
2-0 in conference play.

Random thoughts from my memory bank...

I have learned that unlike a money bank you
sometimes have to make withdrawals from your memory
bank in order to deposit more information. Please bear
with me while I make a few withdrawal transactions.

I am not sure what triggered a memory of this
one. Is there anyone in my era who remembers back to
grade school days the music teacher having one of those
gadgets that had a wooden handle with a metal frame?
That metal frame branched off into five holders into
each of which a chalk stick was placed. With this device
she (always a she in my day) could draw a nearly perfect music staff. She then proceeded to do just that, showing us where each note, a,b,c,d belonged. She showed us
the keys by placing the sharps and flats on the proper
note lines. She showed us various notes and their count
and the time of the song was indicated by numbers i.e.
3/4 meant there were three counts to each measure and
each quarter note got one count. This was the popular
waltz beat. Now I suppose the teacher just goes to the
computer, i-pad, smart phone to get her five lines and all
the symbols all the teaching tools.

Did you gals have any Bakelite jewelry? It was
a heavy duty form of plastic and you could go to Woolworths and find a large jewelry section with all kinds
of them depicting all sorts of shapes and objects. There
were more expensive versions which now sell at antique stores and auction houses for quite a few $$$. Oh,
if we could only have known and taken better care of our
collections. I imagine my mom may have tossed the ones
I had thinking they would always be plastic junk.
It doesnt seem that long ago that we had colored toilet
paper. I had my bathroom color coordinated so I could
use the pink ones. Fancy, eh? If you couldnt get one to
match, just get a few accent pieces of bath linens so
you could use a particular color. And while we are still in
the bathroom, did you ever have Soap on a Rope? Thats
exactly what it was. It would hang over your shower
when not in use and when using it could go around your
neck for easy access during your shower. I didnt have
one. It was rather a harsh product if my memory serves
be correctly and more of it washed away from just having
it hanging on the shower or around your neck than was
used.
How about those animal crackers in boxes that were
printed to look like a circus wagon? They had a flimsy
string on them for carrying and were only 5 cents. Much

better (so it was thought) for a child than candy. I never

and still dont care for animal crackers. I know they
come in a number of different packaging devices now
but do they still have the little circus wagon boxes? I
cant imagine anyone paying the price these days unless
inflation hasnt hit them like the nickel candy bar. While
we are on that, I remember the nickel box of Cracker
Jack with the little sailor boy on the front. I wasnt crazy
about Cracker Jack (lots of better caramel corn around)
but it was fun to see what junky prize was at the bottom. I think there is still Cracker Jack but not in that box
with a prize and certainly not for a nickel.

Today there are all kinds of fancy, make life
easier, kitchen gadgets. Some are capable of doing marvelous things but are also quite pricey so unless one has
money to burn or is deeply into the culinary arts I doubt
many of us have those state of the art machines. Our
mothers, and even we, had the old fashioned egg beaters
that you turned or cranked by hand and then you did the
rest of the cake and dough mixing in the big bowl with
your wooden spoon. My Mom, however, had an upgrade on that egg beater. It came as a fairly large deep
bowl with a handle and a pouring spout. The beater itself
was attached to a cover that fit snugly over the bowl so
a cook could avoid splatters that sometimes happened
during the beating process and the result could be poured
out of the bowl easier too. It was great for whipping
cream. Does anyone actually do that whip REAL
cream anymore or are we all a little more aware, though
that delicious, cholesterol ridden delicacy tastes so good,
it is not that good for us? Besides, it is simpler to pick up
a carton of Cool Whip or a version thereof and you can
get the fat free or reduced calorie ones that taste good
too.

Now I am going back to my babyhood and that
of my children How many remember the potty chair?
It, like the high chair, had a tray on it on which you could
place objects to keep the occupant entertained while
waiting for him/her to do what that training chair was
for. Well, I think they worked. Now, I suppose there are
other methods and devices but I dont have to be concerned about that. Thats the parents (who happen to be
my grandchildren) job. With that, I hope I have cleaned
out some space to add some new memories and get my
bank in better order.

Dayton Dreamers Senior Club

met Thursday, Dec. 17

It was Thursday, Dec. 17 when the Dayton
Dreamers Senior Club members met at the Community
Center for their Christmas meeting.

However, it did not seem comprehensible that
they had not received any measurable snow yet as expected. Officially, the first day of winter was the 21st
and Christmas was just around the corner. The song Im
Dreaming of a White Christmas reverberated in their
heads.

Eighteen members and one guest gathered at the
Community Center anticipating an enjoyable time.

They were greeted with the aroma of hot soup.
After the table grace was sung, they had a dinner of
home-made chicken noodle soup and a borsch (cabbage)
soup along with crackers. Biscuits, kringla and a cheese
ball with snack crackers were also on the menu.

Each member was asked to bring a dozen
Christmas cookies/bars for dessert. Whatever was left
over would be taken to the residents at the Grandview
Health Center.

The tables were decorated with an array of miniature snowmen, angels and creches. On the serving table,
a tall beautifully dressed angel in shimmering gold stood
on a golden cloth. It gave an atmosphere of Christmas.
During dinner, the program director, Diane Esperson,
read some Christmas stories and jokes which were enjoyed by all.

As they entered the Center, they each were given a Lottery ticket but unfortunately, there were only a
few winners.

President Bonnie Reck began the business meeting by leading us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance to
the Flag. Then she introduced our guest, Janice Dodson,
and welcomed her to our Club.

Secy. Alice Johnson then read the minutes of
the November meeting. A motion was made and seconded to accept the minutes as read. Motion passed. The
treasurers report was read. Motion was made and seconded for the report to be accepted. Motion passed.

The correspondence received was a Thank You

note for the donation given to the Dayton Food Pantry.

The December birthdays were acknowledged:
Mary King celebrated her birthday on the 1st; Harold
Rentschler on the 4th; Harlan Adams on the 14th; Bonnie
Reck on the 21st, and Barb May on the 30th.

After a brief discussion, a motion was made
and seconded that the President become a member of the
Dayton Community Club to represent our organization.
Motion passed.

The menu for our next meeting on January 21st
was planned. We will have Maid Rites, cole slaw, buns,
baked beans, pickles, and brownies and lemon squares
for dessert.

President Reck introduced Mariann Phillips
from Harcourt who presented an interesting program.

She is the owner of the K.M. Creations and does
custom work hand-painting gear such as gun stocks, gun
cases, bow cases, ammo cases and the like.

On two tables, she displayed many examples
of her art work, a variety of glassware, and many other
items which she had artistically and meticulously painted
by hand.

She has displayed her artwork at many shows,
etc. in the area. We all enjoyed her unique display.

Since there was no more business to conduct,
the meeting was adjourned.

It's your life...

Mary Homeier, Dayton native,

growing up during depression
Earned Masters Degree from UNI. . .
By: Nicole Presley

Mary Homeier, a Dayton native, remembers
growing up without running water and electricity during
the depression.

Born June 21, 1926 in Des Moines, Iowa, Homeier and her family lived in Dayton and Burnside, Iowa
growing up. While living in Dayton Homeiers family
worked on a farm four and a half miles northwest of Dayton.

Because the Homeiers did not have a combine
they picked the corn with a wagon and horses. In the
fourth grade Homeier moved to Burnside until she was
in seventh grade and moved back to Dayton in the eighth
grade.

During recess she would play dodge ball, softball, jump rope and Fox and Geese. Homeier and her sister Sarah also pretended they were WPA workers, which
was the Works Progression Administration that helped
employ Americans during the great depression. School
children would bring cups for hot meals.

I can remember having four cups of mashed
potatoes once, Homeier said.

Homeier also remembers one classmate having
a watch, which was uncommonfor students during the
depression.

During the depression, noneof us had these,
but she had a Mickey Mouse watch. That was really unusual, Homeier said. She said that her father kept it for
years by using kerosene.

She had a makeshift teeter-totter that was made
out of a sawhorse and ladder on her family farm.

Homeiers family would go to Gowrie for the

Fourth of July celebration and she took piano lessons during the summer.

After graduating from Dayton High School in
1944 Homeier moved to Des Moines and attended Capital City Commercial College in Des Moines, Iowa, taking
classes in short hand, typing, English and other business
classes such as personal salesmanship.

While taking classes at Capital City Commercial
College Homeier worked as a waitress at Bishop Buffet
in downtown Des Moines. She made 35 cents an hour and
was not allowed receive tips.

They did not want you to be tipped. After Id
been there for awhile they gave me a room and then I took
care of all the people, Homeier said. We could have
anything we wanted to eat except more expensive things
like shakes.

Homeier later graduated from Iowa State Teachers College, now known as UNI, in 1950 with a bachelors degree in art and two minors in business and English.

After earning her degree in art Homeier taught
at Hampton High School, in Hampton, Iowa, teaching an
elective class in art. The class was comprised of mostly
girls because the boys would take a shop class, Homeier
said.

In 1954 Homeier started attending the University of Iowa and graduated with a Masters degree in Art

Jaguar Wrestling Cheerleaders are all smiles as they cheer on the Jaguar Wrestlers Saturday afternoon. Photo by
Lisa Peterson.

Jaguar wrestlers win three of five

duals at St. Edmond event Saturday
Jaguars Loose a tough match at West Central Valley. . .

By Coach Miller

The Jags returned to the mat Thursday, January 7th, traveling to Stuart to tangle with the Wildcats
of West Central Valley. In a close dual that came down
to one point, the Jags lost 40-39. Winning matches were
Coledon Bethel, Colton Klingson, Sam Hemmestad,
Evan McCrady, Trey Lawrence, Zeke Miller, and Clayton McFarland. Xavier Nichols also recorded a win in JV
action, pinning his opponent in the third period.

It was good to get back on the mat to see some
different competition and see where we need to improve
on with a young team. The boys wrestled pretty flat and
didnt win scrambles. It hurt us team wise to not have our
160 pounder Kyler Jondle in the lineup as we had to forfeit giving up six points but on the flipside we welcomed
Freshman Clayton McFarland and Sam Hemmestad in
the line-up for the first time this season.
St. Eds Duals

After working out some kinks Friday night in
the practice room, the Jags were right back at it Saturday
competing in the St. Edmond duals on Saturday, January
9th. After a full day of wrestling, competing in five duals
the Jaguars walked out the Gael gym in third place going
3-2 for the day. In the first dual of the morning the Jags
opened with eventual team champion Roland-Story and
dropped the dual 55-15. In the second dual, the Jags lost
a tough battle to Britt, West Hancock 47-33 putting the
eJags at 0-2 for the day. After the lunch break the Jags
notched a win by edging the home team 36-30. The win
sover the Gaels got the ball rolling and in the fourth dual
the boys wrestled hard beating Clarke of Osceola, 42-26
:and in the fifth dual the boys won another close one by
defeating AGWSR 36-32 finishing in third place.

Overall, the boys wrestled really well. We
were tickled to finish in third place. We definitely have
to continue working on positioning as our young guys
are making mistakes with their head down and defending
shots. At this point of the season fixing our mistakes and
dconditioning is our focus, getting ready for our conference tournament next weekend and also Sectionals and
Districts.
r
There were some key matches in the Jaguars
three wins starting with Freshman 152 lbs. Ivan Hudson.
nIvan was down by two points with only three seconds left
din regulation when he scored a quick takedown taking
the match into overtime eventually scoring the winning
takedown. His win sealed the team victory for the Jags,
otherwise the team score would have been tied. In the
fourth dual, Clarke moved their 195 pounder up against
Clayton Taylor but Clayton put the clamps on him pinning him in the first period. In the final dual Kaelan won a
wwild 18-17 match against a tough AGWSR opponent who
majored him earlier in the season sealing the team win.

Overall, Trey Lawrence and Kaelan Lundberg

FirstVolunteer Fire Department Formed

March 1889 in Stratford by businessmen

The Town of Statford was incorporated in September, 1883, and the first officials were: J.H. Johnson, Mayor; George F. tucker, Recorder; Levi Emerson,
Councilman; Isaac Hyatt, Councilman; Charles Rodine,
Councilman; M.H. Greene, Councilman; George Gilder,
Commensal; Robert Norton, Councilman; Robert Norton,
Councilman; R.W. Biggs, Marshall.

In March 1889 the first Volunteer Fire Department was formed by a group of businessmen. A.D. Bruner
was elected Fire Chief, and R.H. Miller, Engineer. the
pipemen were C.A. Deo and R.A. Swanson. Firday night,
April 15, 1889 was designed as Formans Night with a
grand ball and banquet at the Good Templars Hall with
supper from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Admission to the hall was 25
cents; ball and banquet $1.00.

Invitations were sent Dayton, Stanhope and
Webster City. The C&NW had there fast train passing
through here at 4:30 a.m. stop, and pick up passengers for
Dayton who had come to the ball. The agents at Dayton
and Stanhope had been instructed to sell round tickets the
15th for 1 1/3 fare.

The proceeds of the ball and supper was $52.99.
In June 1898, the town council held a special meeting, and
made arrangements for the purchase of fire equipment. The
ordered a Champion chemical engine with a capacity of 55
gallons, which was the best machine on the market at that
time. The price was $600.00 and was paid in three installments, the first one on delivery, and the other two in one
year and two years at 6% interests.

The town council bought a lot and building
on Shakespeare Avenue, owned by Lewis Peterson for
$350.00, and repaired the building to be used for a council
room and to house the fire engine. The firemen held an ice
cream social at the new building to raise money for equipment. By November a new fire bell had been acquired, and
was placed in a tower erected on the new city hall The bell
weighted 600 lbs, and cost $80.00.

The money was raised to pay for it by subscriptions from the citizens,a and was solicited by the firemen.
Prior to buying this building the council meetings had been
held in G.A.. Andersons lumber office, and the town elections in Johnsons Opera House.

According to the town treasurers report in 1902,
it took less than $700.00 to conduct the affairs of the town
for a full year. Included in the disbursements was rent for
an office used for council meetings, and also for room to
store the fire engine. The recorder was paid $20.00 a year
for his services, the Mayor $10.00, the Treasure $123.00,
and the council members $12.00 each, and the Town Marshall $40.00 per year.

The Town Treasurers Report for 1902 dated
April 1, 1902 read as follows: Cash on hand $12.95, Received by taxes $577.53, Fines and licenses $85.25, Poll
Tax $3.08, Sale of town ordinances $4.50, This came to
a total of $638.31. This was recorded by the Treasurer,
Agustus Anderson.

The tax levy in 1903 was 10 mills corporation
tax, and 4 mills road tax. There had been some discussion
in the late 1890s about piping water from Sulphur Springs
to town, but the idea was given up later, and in 1903 the
council was drilling a new well with a depth of 380 feet
before they found enough water, but by the next year they
found it was not deep enough so another well was drilled,
this time going down 437 feet. Prior to this there had been
two shallow wells with hand pumps, one in front of the
hardware store, and one at the north and main street near
the present Passmore Store. In 1907 water mains were
laid along main street, and a steel tank with a capacity of
13,650 gallons of water installed. An attempt was made to
dynamite the water works in October the same year.l Five
sticks of dynamite were placed over the town well, but a

defective fuse saved the well from any damage. A reward

of $300.00 was offered by Mayor Peter Cannon to apprehend the guilty party, but was never found

A new brick building was later erected over the
water works, and covered the entire plant, consisting of the
large tank and well and the pressure tank, and other utilities. In 1909 a curfew was enforced, and all the youngsters
under 16 had to be off the streets by 9 :00 p.m. The bitter
opposition to the proposed sewer by the town council was
the means of placing two tickets on the ballot in the town
election in 1914, and the anti-sewerites were the winners. The results from the citizens Ticket were: Mayor C.G. Peterson - 71, Council - C.A. Rodine - 72, Sanford
Johnson - 71, Edward Peterson - 81, Sam Lundell - 74, and
P.A. Long = 64.

The results from the Peoples Ticket were Mayor J.T. Drug - 94, Council - Peter Bergman - 83, S.G. Carlson
- 95, J. Otto Engstrom - 90, E.M. Milburn - 90, and Sam
Swedlund - 95.

The water main extension proposition voted on
was favored by the majority of the voters. The mains were
extended and a new water boiler installed at the pumping
station was a capacity of 35,000. In 1916 there was another
hot contest over town election, and all new council was
elected with the following members: Nels Sandell- Mayor,
P.A. Swanson - Treasurer, A.R. Samuelson - Assessor,
Edward Peterson - council, Sanford Johnson = council,
John Hubner - Council, C.A. Rodine - Council, C.G. Peterson - council.

At a special election held July 28, 1916 the incorporate limits of Stratford was extended to 1 1/4 by 1
1/2 miles. The council was also authorized to appoint a
Park Board. Also, The Council was advertising for bids
to construct curb and gutter for part of the town,bids to
the received by October 16. The contract was let to H.J.
Cathroe. An ordinance was passed of December 5, 19126,
by the Council creating a sanitary sewer district, and on
January 11, 1917, they were advertising for sealed bids for
the construction of a sanitary sewer and disposal plant.

Iowa unemployment
rate drops to 3.4%
Non-farm jobs
increase by 8,400. . .

Iowas seasonally adjusted unemployment rate
continued to drop in November, falling to 3.4 percent
from 3.5 percent in October. The states jobless rate was
4.3 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate
remained at 5.0 percent in November.

Iowas businesses showed unmistakable optimism in November, said Beth Townsend, director of
Iowa Workforce Development. This months increase is
the highest in several years and includes job gains in virtually all industries. Additionally, Iowas unemployment
rate trended down to the lowest level since 2001.

The number of unemployed Iowans fell to
58,700 in November from 60,400 in October. The cur-

rent estimate is 15,000 lower than the year ago level of

73,700.

The total number of working Iowans increased
to 1,647,500 in November. This figure was 3,100 higher
than October and 6,500 higher than one year ago.

Iowas total nonfarm employment advanced by
8,400 jobs in November and now rests at 1,584,700 jobs.
This months unusually large increase follows a quiet
October which saw almost no change in the number of
jobs.

Private industries combined for all of the gain
this month; government pared 600 jobs with losses at the
state and local level. Overall, employment in the state has
continued to trend up, and Iowa has added an average of
2,300 jobs per month totaling 27,300 jobs added over the
past twelve months. Private industries have advanced by
28,200 jobs and government is down slightly (-900).

January is Radon
Action Month

Five out of seven Iowa homes

have elevated radon levels...

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) announced Governor Terry Branstad will sign a formal proclamation January 7, 2016, declaring January as Radon Action
Month in Iowa.

Radon is an odorless, colorless, tasteless naturally
occurring radioactive gas that causes no immediate health
symptoms, but long-term exposures may cause lung cancer.

It comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil.
Simple test kits can reveal the amount of radon in any building. Buildings with high levels can usually be fixed with
simple and affordable venting techniques.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, one in 15 homes across the nation has an elevated
radon level and five out of seven homes in Iowa have a radon
level above a safe level. IDPH joins the American Lung Association of Iowa and the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency in encouraging
Iowans to test their homes for radon, take action to reduce
elevated radon levels, and build new homes using radonresistant construction features.

Radon gas seeps into a house the same way air
or other soil gases enter: from the soil around and under
the home; through cracks in the foundation, floor or walls;
through hollow-block walls; and through openings around
floor drains, pipes and sump pumps.

Radon has been detected in new and old homes,
0and in homes with or without basements.

Test kits are simple to use and typically cost less
than $20. To order a test kit or learn additional information
about radon, call the Radon Hotline at 1-800-383-5992. To
learn more about radon, visit http://idph.iowa.gov/radon.
Short videos explaining what radon is, how it enters your
home and how testing is conducted may be found at http://

Mary Homeier...
continued from page 6...
Education in the summer of 1955. While at the University
of Iowa Homeier had the chance to take a course under
Maruicio Lasansky, a well-known graphic artist and print
maker from Argentina.
He was very talented. I looked over some old clippings
that I had. I discovered that he had about 20 of his selfportraits at the Library of Congress, Homeier said. His
prints were known all over the world and people came
two hours just to study under him.
While studying at the University of Iowa, Homeier
sketched a portrait of deer at the McBride Museum. Lasansky approached Homeier about her sketch mentioning
that he liked them. Later that same year Homeiers deer
sketch was featured in the Des Moines Art Center.

Now copies of Homeiers deer sketch are featured in homes in Newton where she currently lives.

Mourning Glory...
continued on page 11...
Sound (now Juniors Motel) recording studio opened near
Otho, Iowa, Mourning Glory was the first band to record
there according to an Iowa RocknRoll website.

Unfortunately the tapes, featuring Dons song
One Way Woman, have been lost to time.

Mourning Glory was fortunate to have great relationships with booking agents from Des Moines, Cedar Falls, Mason City and Omaha. Brothers Loren and
Dalton Reineking owned Contintental Entertainment and
frequently were the agents booking MGRB. This relationship resulted in lifelong friendships between band
members and the brothers.

Tom Tatman from Cedar Falls, now owner of
Catamount Studios, also was a frequent agent for the
band.

The group decided early on to take a very professional approach to the business of music, and had a
strong reputation for showing up on time, delivering a
solid performance and, when the show ended, exiting the
performance venue quickly.

The combination of frequent rehearsals, good
booking agents, a good reputation, and the groups obvious enjoyment of the music and each other, resulted in a
full performance calendar for the next three years.
Bookings galore
for Mourning Glory

Mourning Glory played 200 separate bookings
during those three years - many for multiple nights. They
were the first group to play the Owls Nest in Fort Dodge
- a popular rock n roll club that catered to college students.

They became regulars there and at Pappys in
Cedar Falls and The Rendevous in Denison, Iowa. They
also performed at many of Iowas large and well-known
ballrooms, such as The Roof Garden in Arnolds Park (as
the opening act for Dobie Gray), the Playmore in Fort
Dodge, and many others.

The band was honored with an Entertainment
Operators of America citation and won the 1973 Carroll,
Iowa Battle of the Bands.

While performing in Mourning Glory, three of
the members attended Iowa Central Community College
in Fort Dodge. After completing two years there, Joe and
Roger moved on to Drake University in Des Moines.
After several months of making the 140-mile
round trip back to Dayton for rehearsals several times
each week, the group finally called it quits. Its legendary
Last Chance Dance was held in Dayton in May 1974.

Members of the group went on to perform in
other notable groups.

In 1994, the group found its way back together
- again at the request of friends from Dayton. Mourning
Glory was invited to perform at the annual all-school reunion. The venue was an old opera house, then operated
as a restaurant and bar called Our Place. The evening
was a big success and the group decided to continue to

There are three prestigious homes here in
Newton that have my deer print. They have it framed and
hanging in their homes, Homeier said.

Homeier has also taught at an elementary school
in Cedar Falls and in Newton. She has also worked for the
State Historical Society of Iowa.

A day shy of 65 years old, Homeier retired, after
which she began volunteering and continued to volunteer
until she was 83 years old.

I really enjoy it. I enjoy the peopleI felt that
I was really doing something helpful. Thats the kind of a
job to have because its fun, Homeier said.

Homeier has a diary from her childhood that she
donated to the State Historical Society of Iowa. She has
written essays about some of her diary entries and included illustrations she painted and sketched from memory.
Most of her illustrations are created with watercolor and
ink.

Its been an interesting life, Homeier said.
Ive gotten to do a variety of things. Im glad that I got
to do something besides teach.

get together when good opportunities arose.

For the gigs in recent years, Mourning Glory
often has been joined by other musician friends - most
frequently Greg Nicoll from Cedar Falls and Dr. Paul and
Jayne Jensen from Cresco. They sometimes perform under the moniker monkeywrench.

The Dakota
Access Pipelines
Commitment
to American
Manufacturing
The Dakota Access Pipeline is coming to Iowa, to deliver
domestically extracted energy to our economy.

The pipeline
construction would
result in 4,000 new
construction and
manufacturing jobs
and create a demand
for $1 billion worth
of other goods and
services such as food,
lodging, equipment and
supplies, vehicles
and more.
Newton Daily News, December 10, 2014
Letter to the editor by Scott Miles
of the Laborers Local Union 353

Were in the final stages of preparation, with trade and

craft unions training skilled workers and suppliers staging
steel and other materials for construction.
And were signing easements with landowners to install
the pipeline.
This pipeline project is helping revitalize American
manufacturing and the regional economy in two key ways:
1)

At least 50% of all labor will be sourced from union

halls in states along the route. We will also use
construction equipment from Iowa and Illinois-based
manufacturers. We do this because Dakota Access is
committed to benefitting Midwestern communities.

2)

Dakota Access will bring our country closer to energy

independence, a key step to a flourishing American
manufacturing industry. Americas energy renaissance
has created employment for millions of Americans,
and we are helping to ensure that continues.

It takes dedication, training and decades of experience to

safely source, construct and operate a buried pipeline.
Thats why we are working with the best American
companies and employing highly trained Americans from
various skilled craft unions throughout the United States
to do the job right.
