Jordan Johnson, daughter of Lacy and Brian
Johnson and member of the Dayton Tigers exhibited her
breeding heifer. She received a purple for her purebred
Angus heifer.
By Jill Viles
Perhaps Phil Ecklund, a Simi Valley, Calif. and
Gowrie, Iowa resident and whose family members as far
back as his Great Grandparents, were longtime members
of Lanyon Covenant Church, sums it up best, Just like
we have a natural lifewe are born, we live, and we die,
so too does a church, but its memories and its mission
continues.
For the members, both past and present, of the
Lanyon Covenant Church, these words ring crystal clear.
When asked to describe memories of this beloved church
and congregation, eyes sparkle and stories take flight, and
one thing is for surethough the church doors may close,
beloved life experiences will be shared for generations to
come.
The Lanyon Covenant Church, originally named
The Lost Grove Mission Church, celebrated a milestone
birthday on September 1st of this year. At 139 years old,
Six 4-Hers from Webster County exhibited at
the Clay County Fair recently.
Jordan Johnson, daughter of Lacy and Brian
Johnson and member of the Dayton Tigers exhibited her
breeding heifer. She received a purple for her purebred
Angus heifer.
Ben Carlson, son of Jim and Jennifer Carlson
and member of the Gowrie Groundbreakers exhibited his
Dayton Review
with the Theatre Lounge, Clarks Auto Parts, and Lambert Yards Building Supplies.
One of the most beloved businesses that is gone
is the Ladysmith Bakery. They had excellent bakery.
Many industries, such as a the Paper Mill, are also gone.
My father worked at the Soo Line Railroad for
43 years before retiring as the agent there. He worked at
the Soo Line Depot which is still standing but it is no longer used. There was a lot of freight business with the Soo
Line Railroad in Ladysmith in the fifties, sixties, seventies and into the eighties. The Soo Line still runs through
the town but it no longer employs a significant number of
people.
I drove past our home in Ladysmith where my
parents raised their family. I am one of three brothers and
we have one sister. We have great memories living in
our wonderful home with our wonderful, caring parents.
The home still has the same appearance and exterior but
several landscaping improvements have been made.
I drove to Tony (four miles west of Ladysmith
on U.S. Eight), and then took County I to Lake Flambeau
where our family had a cabin that was enlarged into a
lake home over the years. Mom and Dad sold their lake
home more than 15 years ago. The lake home has the
same exterior and it has a beautiful view of Lake Flambeau.
The boat docks are mostly the same with the
new owners adding an extension at one end. The boat
house is collapsing. It was constructed on barrels filled
with cement and extending over the lake from the shoreline. That is illegal construction today but it was not prohibited back then. The roof is covered by moss now, one
side has collapsed into the lake, and it will probably be
totally gone within the next year or two. It has survived
for more than four decades and was well used when we
owned the property. The harsh Wisconsin winters and
ice from the lake are taking their toll.
Accompanied by Mary Ann, we drove to Flambeau Lodge which is farther north on the Flambeau River
and just above Big Falls dam. It is a dirt/gravel road and
the area is heavily forested for most of the route doing
to Flambeau Lodge. As a family we would go there for
meals and beverages. In Wisconsin, by the way, families
in our time went to bars and bar restaurants as a family.
The dads would have a beer, the children would have a
pop, and Moms had their routine too. And there was
always plenty of conversation with the people at those
establishments.
Flambeau Lodge is often a destination for people canoeing down the Flambeau (through white water
rapids) from points north and up-river. One such spot is
occupied by Big Bear Lodge where I have been numerous
times but there wasnt enough time to go there this year.
Flambeau Lodge today looks better than ever.
A deck has been constructed on the side facing the Flambeau. The campsites in front have been removed but the
lawn area is really nice. It appears that the cabins that
were once rented have been sold.
I drove back to Ladysmith. It was time to attend the social hour at the Tee-Away Supperclub and golf
course. I had a nervous moment or two and I just felt
dubious about attending.
But I had a great phone conversation with classmate Terry Wedwick a few weeks prior and I was so encouraged by our conversation. I drove to the Tee-Away
and as we walked to the front a few classmates were there
to greet us.
Next week: Stepping back into time with my
classmates.

Hunters who need to satisfy the hunter education requirement can search for and sign up for a course
at www.iowadnr.gov/huntered.
Prospective students can see which courses or
field days are near them; how many seats are available for
the class or if the class is full and a waiting list is available. There is also a map showing the location along with
the instructors name, a course overview and any special
instructions.
Iowa law requires all hunters born after Jan. 1,
1972 to satisfactorily complete a hunter education course
in order to purchase a license. Children as young as 11
may enroll in the course, but their certificate of completion will not become valid until their 12th birthday.
Each year, around 12,000 students complete
hunter education in Iowa.
Online Only Course Option for Adults
The online only course for adults is designed for
Iowa residents 18 years of age or older that have prior
hunting and/or firearms handling experience.
The course covers the same material as the
classroom course, allowing the student to complete the
entire course, including the final test, in an online setting.
Certification is received at the successful completion of
the online course.

ment, such as Fort Dodge, the property could be sold for
$200,000 or more.
Members of the church are open to selling to a
buyer wishing to allow special events such as weddings,
receptions, funerals and other ministries. The overriding
concern is that that a potential buyer(s) needs to understand the practical concerns of maintaining this historic
property. Also, even if the septic system works, it must
be inspected and replaced upon sale. Additionally, another concern is the amount of asbestos in the building.
If the building is disturbed in any way, asbestos may be
released, potentially harming those in the area and therefore, requires inspection before the sale.
This is a wood structure and it needs a lot of
maintenance, said Ecklund.
Another, more drastic alternative, has been
sought by others in the area in similar circumstances. The
historic Swede Bend Church, the birthplace of the Covenant Denomination, originally located near Stratford, was
moved to the Twin Lakes Bible Camp.
The relocated structure still uses the original
kerosene lights and pump organ and has regular Sunday morning services. However, the moving of a church
building is such an unusual event, that the day the church
was moved, a concerned resident called the police. One
of Philip Ecklunds relatives, an attorney, was called to
verify that the moving plans for the church building were
legal.
Additionally, some churches have found new
life by serving a different purpose. For example, a Covenant Church in Ogden was transformed into a home.
Also, a church near Barnum was moved about a mile and
a half south and transformed into a home.
The stained glass windows in the church would
be a great find for a new owner. A hail storm in 1998
took out most of the windows on the north side. Church
members had to look through wedding photos in order to
restore the beautiful stained glass windows to their original splendor. Additionally, new carpet was laid and several pews were replaced.
Next Week: Preserving history of Lanyon Covenant Church.
In the wet, muddy spring of 1876, Rev. A. Hallner began holding gopel services in the Bishop Schoolhouse near Lanyon. These meetings led by rev. Hllner
lead to a far reaching revival touching the very hearts of
the people in the community. Realizing a need for an organized church, a meeting was called for September 1,
1877 in the Lost Grove Schoolhouse. The purpose of this
meeting was to form a congregation and to call a "Christian preacher to preach the Word of God." nine solemn
men with a fervent love of the Lord were seated inside the
Lost Grove School house on this seasonal September day.
A fifteen-year-old boy (C.B. Johnson, who later became
paestor of the congregation), sat quietly in the corner
watching as his father J.W. Johnson and eight other men,
J.L. Awilson, Andrews Perry, A. Johnson, .A. Carlson,
CHas. Malmberg, Carl Peterson, J.P. Johnson and Aucust SChults, discussed how to bring the gospel of Jesus
Christ to their world. When the meeting adjourned the
evening, these nine men and their seven wives were the
original keepers of the faith in waht was named "The Lost
Grove Missionary Association" - A church home we now
lovingly call the Lanyon Evengelical Covenant Church.

Dayton Review
Very disappointed...
The Labor Day Parade was not very good this
year. There were too many gaps. The traffic was not
stopped so there was cars and trucks stopping it and getting into it. It was a farce, flop, or whatever you want to
call it.
Years before traffic was stopped at all entrances
to Dayton but not this year because it was backwards. I
have never seen such a mixed up, balled up thing in my
life.
Yes we live at the end of the parade but the people up town every other year did not have to put up with
gaps in the parade because traffic butted in because it was
stopped at every entrance. I am not the only one that was
very disappointed in the parade. Everyone that watched it
up here was disappointed.
Please, please turn it back around so that we can
all enjoy a nice smooth parade. Like it was set up to be. It
ran that way for years and was working just fine.
Now Alan passed and someone gets a brilliant
idea to change everything. Stupid move. People are not
happy. Leave things the way they are. It runs much more
smoothly.

That evening there was to have been a citywide meeting of Lutheran churches in the city with the
Bishop. Since the host church was already prepared with
the supplies for the evening meal for attendees we gathered for that but no discussions of the topics which were
to have taken place. Instead, following the meal we all
went into the sanctuary for a service led by Bishop Hougen. In addition to the original delegates others in the
community were invited to come to the service. Bishop
gave a very comforting, inspiring message, appropriate scriptures were read, hymns were sung and many
prayers offered. Did it help? Of course it did but still we
understood there was a big, big healing that would take
years maybe never.
Let us make sure this is in our history books.
Let us not forget. Let us use this as an alert. I dont think
Ill ever forget.

If disaster strikes. . .
e
Make A PlanYour family may not be together
s
if a disaster strikes, so it is important to think about the
following situations and plan just in case. Consider the
d
following questions when making a plan:
e
How will my family/household getemergency
alerts and warnings?
How will my family/household get to safe locations for relevant emergencies?
How will my family/household get in touch if
cell phone, internet, or landline doesnt work?
How will I let loved ones know I am safe?
How will family/household get to a meeting
o
place after the emergency?
r
Here are a few easy steps to start your emergene
cy communication plan:
r
Understand how to receive emergency alerts
and warnings.Make sure all household members are
able to get alerts about an emergency from local officials.
Check with your local emergency management agency to
see what is available in your area, and learn more about
y
alerts by visiting:www.ready.gov/alerts.
Discuss family/household plans for disasters
b
that may affect your area and plan where to go.Plan toa
gether in advance so that everyone in the household unn
derstands where to go during a different type of disaster
like a hurricane, tornado, or wildfire.

Karri Scully is the driver of a dragster with a
498 Chevy. Her pit crew is her husband Pat Scully who is
her mechanic and daughter
oMaliah Scully. She races at Iowa's oldest dragway in
Humboldt. Karri's quickest time is 5.67 in the eighth
mile. She and her crew try to race every Saturday night.
Gates open at noon and eliminations start at 5
p.m. Come to Iowa's oldest dragway is you like the smell
of racing fuel and smoking tires to watch Karri Scully
race.
Collect information.Create a paper copy of the
contact information for your family that includes:
phone (work, cell, office);
email;
social media;
medical facilities, doctors, service providers;
school.
Identify information and pick an emergency
meeting place.Things to consider:
Decide on safe, familiar places where your
family can go for protection or to reunite;
Make sure these locations are accessible for
household members with disabilities or access and functional needs.
If you have pets or service animals, think about
animal-friendly locations.
Examples of meeting places:
In your neighborhood:A mailbox at the end of
the driveway, or a neighbors house.
Outside of your neighborhood:library, community center, place of worship, or family friends home.
Outside of your town or city:home of a relative or family friend. Make sure everyone knows the address of the meeting place and discuss ways you would
get there.
Share information.Make sure everyone carries a copy in his or her backpack, purse, or wallet. You
should also post a copy in a central location in your home,
such as your refrigerator or family bulletin board.
Practice your plan.Have regular household
meetings to review your emergency plans, communication plans and meeting place after a disaster, and then
practice, just like you would a fire drill.

Don Williams Lake--Black Crappie - Fair: The
crappie bite is still good at Don Williams. Slowly troll
jigs in 12-20 feet of water.
When a crappie is caught, continue to fish that
area as the fish are suspended in large schools. Use 1/8
ounce jigs tipped with minnows or small white or chartreuse twister tails. The upper half of the lake has been
best, but groups of fish can be found throughout.
Hickory Grove Lake--Black Crappie - Fair: A
fair crappie bite has been going at Hickory Grove. Drift
or slow troll 1/8 ounce or lighter jigs with twister tails or
minnows or 1.5 inch panfish tube jigs.
Work the mid-lake area out from the Oriole
Ridge Lodge. Bluegill - Good: Use small jigs tipped with
crawler over pallet piles in water less than 15 feet deep.
Try also between the island the beach and near
buoy off the shore from the Plover Bay Shelter. Hickory
Grove can produce some nice 7 to 8.5 inch bluegills.

JV Jaguar team
earns a tie with PAC
The JV Jaguar Football team played Pocahontas
Area on 09/19/16. The game ended in a 0-0 tie after regulation and one overtime. The Jaguar defense was very
good. The JV record is now 1-0-1.
The seventh grade Jaguars won their game
Tuesday, Sept. 13 at Burnside 26-0.
In the second quarter Riley Ferrari had a 10 yard
touchdown run. And in the second quarter Lathe Muench
had a 15 yard touchdown run.
In the third quarter Lathe Muench ran for 37
yards and a touchdown and Riley Ferrari made the twopoint conversion. Lathe Muench finished the scoring
with a four yard touchdown run.
The eighth grade team lost 38-6. In the third
quarter Sam Hanson 5 yard touchdown run.
One of the most popular citizens of the town in
early 1900s was Sam Bollinger. He was considered the
smartest man in town as he taught school. He gave legal
advice and anyone who needed advice would go see Sam.
Then too, Benny Farber with a little wagon and
ponies, would come in the summer months and go into
the country and buy junk. Hed pile it by the stockyards
and ship it out.
A newspaper called the Callender Times was
established in 1892. Its first editor was A. A. Rasmusson
who sold it to a Mr. Libby who in turn edited it for a few
years and then sold it to a man in South Dakota.
Callender also had a flour mill which was built
and operated by N. C. Rasmussen. The mill was located
where the old Callender Elevator used to have their office.

Brought to you with the support of the
Iowa Food Bank Association, your local
food bank, AARP, Spindustry Digital
and this newspaper.
Fall is a great time to be outdoors. The air is cool, the
views are picturesque and the fish are pulling out of their late
summer slumber.
Fall offers excellent fishing opportunities for both
new and expert anglers, said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Bureau. Get out
there and enjoy them.
Cooler temperatures and shorter daylight periods trigger fish to actively move in search of food to build energy reserves to settle into their winter habitat. These predictable movements make them easier to locate.
Yellow perch, muskies, crappies, walleyes largemouth and smallmouth bass put on a last minute flurry before
winter, explained Larscheid.
The fall bite in lakes and ponds shifts to the main part
of the day. Fish are more active during the day and can be caught
close to shore. Target areas of a lake where the water is warmer,
particularly in shallow water bays along the north shore.
Use live bait, particularly minnows, small tackle and
fish slowly when fishing in cooler water, Larscheid said.
Look for panfish schools in open water near structure
like a brush pile, underwater hump, drop-offs and rock reefs.
Largemouth bass will be close to some type of structure during
the fall like underwater brush piles, old road beds, rock reeks or
weed lines.
Fish in streams will begin moving to their wintering
areas in October. Stream flow is often lower in the fall; allowing better angler access. Channel catfish will move downstream
from smaller streams to the deepest holes they can find in larger
streams. Walleyes will move to the next deepest holes and pike to
the next deepest.
Find a new favorite fishing spot this fall with the interactive Fishing Atlas available on the DNR website at www.
iowadnr.gov/Fishing/Fishing-Maps.
