The City of Harcourt will also be purchasing new playground equipment to erect
around the community center.
In the recent past the City of
Harcourt has used such monies for completeing a bathroom at city hall. The city expanded the shelter house in 2015, which was a
very nice addition adding 16 feet more of space.
With that expansion Harcourt also put new
ceiling fans on the outside addition as well as more inside. The community also painted the outside of the shelter house with the expansion.
Mayor Gibbons and a group of students from
Southeast Valley came last spring and did some landscaping in front of the community center. These students
also came and painted the inside of the shelter house.
The Harcourt Activity Club will be hosting the
breakfast and serving the breakfast that day.
The City of Dayton reminds residents of the City
snow ordinance, which reads that No person shall park,
abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public
street, alley, or City-owned off-street parking area after
one inch of snowfall accumulates, during duration of the
snowfall, and for a 24-hour period following snowfall,
unless the snow has been removed or plowed from said
street, alley or parking area. The fine for violation of
this ordinance is $25.

Congratulations goes out to Dakota Jaeschke
who topped the 1,000 point career scoring mark! Dakota sank a free throw to hit the 1,000 point mark against
Clarion-Goldfield on Thursday, Jan. 12.
Dakota hit one more free throw to finish with 20
points in the game and make his career scoring point total
climb to 1,001.
The Clarion Goldfield school honored Jaeschke
by presenting him with the game ball.
Dakota scored 209 points as a freshman, 328 as
a sophomore, 328 as a junior, 135 points so far this year.
Dakota is a silent leader and lets his play do
the talking.
He never complains and thats why
he is a fan favorite, said coach
Johnson.
Dakota has been a staple for
our program the last 4 years and has
been a good role model for kids to
look up to.
Coach Dahlstrom, Gutshall, and Johnson all agree that it has been a privilege
to have coached and been associated
with Dakota in our program the last 4
years.
Dayton Review
The drought is broken; Trey Lawrence captured
his first Twin Lakes conference title at 132 lbs. and became the first Jaguar to win a TLC title.
Six weights later Kyler Fisher won his first title
at 182 lbs. becoming the second Jaguar wrestler winner in
their three year history.
It may seem hard to believe the Jags haven't
had a conference champ in, since the Jags have had three
state qualifiers, Spencer Johnson and Caleb Hemmestad
in 2015, and Kyler Fisher in 2016, but not a champ in the
first two years together, which indicates there are quality
kids who compete in the conference.
Coledon Bethel(106), Kaelan Lundberg(170),
and Clayton McFarland(285) fell short of the championship, finished as runner-ups. Xavier Nichols(220) placed
third; Mason Goodwin(113) and Sam Hemmestad(120)
placed fifth; Colton Klingson(126) and Brayton Sweeney(160)placed sixth and Ty Harvey(138) did not place.
For the most part, the kids took a step forward
today; getting five in the finals was a nice effort by the
guys which propelled the Jags into second place after the
semi-finals.
Pocahontas Area climbed into second place after
having several of their wrestlers claim third place honors
leaving the team in third place, holding off the rest off the
field even though the Jags were down a few wrestlers in
the line-up.
Carter Fluckiger(152) didn't participate due to
illness and the team were out the services of 145 pounders, Quinton Clancy or Jake Peterson.
Trey wrestled a good, solid smart match to defeat senior Chris Langner(Alta-Aurelia) 3-1 in the finals,
running his record to 27-3.
Kyler also wrestled a controlled, solid match
winning 7-2 over Philip Minkler(Poky), remaining undefeated for the season at 31-0.
After losing his first round match, Xavier Nichols came back and wrestled a great tournament, pulling
out a last second win in the consolation semi.'s 5-3, and
winning his third place match in overtime, 4-2.
An undersized, scrappy Mason Goodwin wrestling 113 also wrestled tough, battling in every match
even though he is giving up quite a bit of weight.
Hopefully, the guys are hitting their stride as
they enter the last two weeks of the regular season.

Dayton Rodeo
Celebration Committee
has dinner with Governor
By Jessie Green
Last year the Dayton Rodeo was asked to donate
a pair of VIP tickets to a fundraising auction. The auction
was hosted in Des Moines at the Stine Seed Barn by the
James Arthur Albert Foundation.
James Albert is a professor of law at Drake University, and taught former Southeast Webster alumni
Nick Cooper. Nick was asked to help James find items
for the auction which eventually led Nick to his hometown of Dayton to seek support.
The proceeds from this auction went to help disadvantaged youth in Belize to help buy books and other
educational tools. This auction had many neat items on
it. The item that really stood out to me was a private dinner with the Governor and his wife at their governors
mansion !
This item was a great way I thought to give back
to some locals who have shown they have a heart of service and have contributed much to the Dayton Rodeo,
surrounding communities and organizations.
Reminder
Governor Terry Branstad was presented with a
Dayton Rodeo coat.
Sitting from left to right at Governors residence are members of the Dayton Rodeo Celebration Committee: Nathan Johnston, Becks Hybrids; Kendra Breitsprecher, Dayton City Council and Community Club President;
Clayton Bills, Vice President of the Dayton Celebration Committee; Jesse Green, former Chairman and current Treasurer
of the Celebration Committee;
Standing from left to right are Matt Johnson, 2017 Chairman Dayton Celebration Committee; Steve Peterson,
President of the Webster County Farm Bureau; Christine Brandstad, Governor Brandstad, Dennis Plautz, from the
Greater Growth Alliance; and Mark Campbell, Webster County Supervisor.

D O W N S
Ancient/World History, American History and
Iowa History? I havent queried my great grandchildren
who have completed high school or still in high school
just how much history they have taken. Some of the others are still too young to have delved into very deeply as
yet. I venture to guess that history isnt a top priority
subject these days and perhaps at a point is an elective
or glossed over with subjects requiring more technological appliances being prioritized. I am almost sure that
language, written and spoken is not as emphasized as in
my day simply by the speech of not only youngsters
but some educated people. Am I wrong in my assumptions? I hope so. After having been reminded recently via
the Register of Iowas 170th birthday, I delved into some
research to bring back some Iowa historical memories.
On December 28, 1846 Iowa was officially admitted to the Union as the 29th State. It had been a part
of the Louisiana Purchase and had been a territory for
some time prior to becoming a full-fledged state. Okay,
those in my generation and the following one, do you remember your history and that the first capitol was Iowa
City? They built a stately, sturdy building to house the
state government. That building is still in use as a part of
the University of Iowa. I toured it quite a few years ago
and found it to be a beautiful building and I am sure, if
particularly for historical purposes, is still an impressive
structure.
The first governor was Ansel Briggs and to my
knowledge his residence still exists in Iowa City. I remember driving by it too but, sorry to say, cannot well
describe it except being a small mansion of the 1840/50s
era. It didnt take too long to decide the state capitol
should be more centralized and thus was moved to Des
Moines in 1857. James P. Grimes was still governor until
January of 1858. (A state office building to the east of
the capitol building is named for him.) The first full term
governor in Des Moines was Ralph P. Lowe.
The first capitol building known as The Old
a
Brick Capitol and located where the Soldiers & Sailors monument now stands served for 26 years. It was
destroyed by fire in 1892.The current buildings cornerstone was laid in 1876 and building dedicated in January
1884. It cost nearly $3,000,000 and had no dome at the
time. Building of the dome was begun in 1880 so apparently the building was not fully dedicated until the dome
completed. My source of info didnt go into detail. Our
class skip day was to Des Moines and one of the total
class ventures was a tour of the capitol building with a
climb up the stairs into the dome to which a cupola was
attached. It was still open for visitors in 1946 and some
of the boys climbed those steep steps and I remember

Wrestling results...
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources
will release 1,500 ten to twelve inch rainbow trout in the
Webster County Conservation Boards Moorland Pond
on Friday, January 20 at 11 a.m.
This is the second of two planned stockings for
Moorland Pond located on the southwest edge of Fort
Dodge. A total of 3,000 half-pound trout will be stocked
between the two stockings, providing a popular fishery
near an urban setting.
This is a good opportunity for taking kids or
novice anglers fishing as trout tend to bite readily after
they are stocked.
The Webster County Conservation Staff will
host an ice fishing clinic at 11 a.m. for those interested in
learning to ice fish on Saturday, January 21.
Topics include: ice safety, ice fishing basics, and
equipment. If you are interested in attending the clinic,
please meet in the Moorland Pond Parking lot at 11 a.m.
Iowa residents and non-residents who are required to have a fishing license must pay the Trout Fee to
fish for or possess trout.
Exception: Iowa residents and nonresidents under 16 years old may possess or fish for trout without
having paid the Trout Fee if they fish with a properly
licensed adult who has paid the Trout Fee and together
they limit their catch to the one person daily limit of five
trout.
Children under 16 have the
option to purchase their own trout privilege, which allows them to fish without a properly licensed adult and
keep their own daily limit (5).
For more questions regarding this stocking or
fishing regulations please contact the Black Hawk Fish
Management Office at (712) 657-2638.

The opening of the 87th General Assembly convened Monday, January 9, 2017. Tuesday, Governor Terry E. Branstad delivered his twenty-third Condition of the
State Address. Wednesday, Chief Justice Cady delivered
the Condition of the Judicial Branch Message. Along
with the weeks activities, committees held meetings and
budget sub-committees met.
When the Legislature adjourned last year, the
budget was balanced. However, an updated revenue
projection has created a manageable budget shortfall of
around $117 million. This year will require reductions to
the current state budget.
2017 Priorities:
1. We will spend less than the state collects. 2. We will
not use one-time funds to pay for ongoing needs. 3. We
will not intentionally underfund state programs to balance the budget. 4. We will return unused tax dollars to
Iowas taxpayers
Flexibility for Schools
We are committed to providing flexibility to
locally elected school boards by loosening funding restrictions and allow more local decision making. Several
school districts have thousands of dollars sitting in funds
unused because they are limited to specific purposes.
Every school district in the state faces its own
unique struggles. Schools in Keota, Des Moines, Clear

Hello there! Welcome to the Outdoor Corner of
the Dayton Review. My name is Ryan Graden. Professionally Im a Director at Hidden Acres Christian Center
located just southeast of Dayton.
Ive been on staff at the camp for almost 11 years
now. My wife and I have four daughters and weve lived
there at Hidden Acres for the last nine years. Weve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the community and the
folks in it. I hope to you meet more of you as the opportunities present themselves.
Outside of my profession, Im an avid outdoorsman. My passion is to be outside as much as possible
throughout the year. In order to do so, Ive developed
many hobbies and pastimes that allow me to have a good
excuse to be outside.
My hopes in writing this bi-monthly column
would be to encourage you to do the same! We live in a
beautiful part of Iowa that has a lot to offer you and I in
the outdoors. Trust me, its better than sitting in front of a
TV, laptop, or iPad.
So, as you continue to read this column, I would
encourage you to try something new if it inspires you.
Hopefully, you might find a new hobby!
My earliest memories of the outdoors are of
squirrel hunting with my family. My father, grandfathers,
and uncles all spent quite a few mornings, during the fall,
pursuing these big bushy-tailed tree rats on Iowas public
hunting grounds.
I remember being passed from family member to
family member as we walked through the hardwood timbers scanning the tree canopy for movement of the bright
red fox squirrels that we were chasing. But those moments were more than just hunts to me. These men taught
me, corrected me, and shaped me into the man I am today.
I learned respect for others and respect for the
outdoors. I also learned that this was Gods gift to me and
I should do all that I can to care for it and enjoy it! So, Ive
spent the last 35 years of my life doing just that. Enjoying
all that the outdoors have to offer.
Now, Im a happily married man of 15 years.
My wife and I have four daughters. Rylee is 14, Brenlie
is 11, Taydem is 9, and Paysen is 6. I am glad to say that
they all enjoy the outdoors as much as I do.
My wife and daughters love outings on horseback through the spring, summer, and fall. They also are
willing to follow me into the woods to hunt, fish, and trap.
Other past times are camping, kayaking, and canoeing
here in Central Iowa. All in all, we are wired to be outside
as much as we can and you will find that out through this
column.
So in the months to come and as the seasons
change, it will be my goal to let you know whats going
on in the outdoors. I want to introduce you to things you
might not know too much about. Id like to teach you
some things that might become new interests to you.
I want to challenge you to actually take part in
something new that youve never done before. Maybe, no
matter what your age, youll fall in love with Iowa all over
again.
Until next time!
The format, selections and rules can all be
decided by the participants. The director can help with
lists of books that might be readily available and recommended for book clubs, provide pre-published discussion
questions, and obtain books for everyone.
Options include coffee, wine and/or snacks provided by participants, everyone read the same book or
everyone read different books and discuss and rate the
books. Suggestions for number of members ranged from
5 to 8 - 8 to 16, the latter of which allows for plenty of
members even if some cant attend every time.
Usually meetings are once a month or every six
weeks. Some incorporate a food theme. The library can
help provide equipment and materials as needed. Call or
stop by if you are interested. 515-547-2700.
