Jan Miller, the current legal secretary.

I have so many good memories of Gowrie and
the many great people, said Dean. I am so pleased to

his vehicle due to the road conditions. He sustained minor
injuries.

Donald Trump visits POET Biorefining Gowrie

It was a very busy week at POET Biorefining
Gowrie with preparations for Presidential Candidate Mr.
Donald Trump on Nov. 12th, 2015.

Mr. Trump was expected to arrive at 4:30 pm
and was nearly 40 min. late in arriving. It was a very
windy day which may have explained the delay in landing
at the Fort Dodge airport in addition to all the security of
the Secret Service.

The event was very well orchestrated by Katie
Behrens, Growth Energy; the America Renewable Future
Team and the POET Leadership Team.

From our corporate office in Sioux Falls, present
were; James Moe, POET President; Kyle Gilley, POET
Senior VP of Public Policy and Corporate Affairs; Sara
Andresen, POET Manager Community Engagement;
Courtney Heitkamp, POET Media Relations Specialist.
From the ARF Team were co-chairs Patty Judge, former
Lt. Governor and Iowa Secretary of Agriculture and Bill
Couser of Couser Cattle Company of Nevada IA.

As we all waited in anticipation of Mr. Trumps
arrival we quickly ushered him into the admin. conference room with an ethanol presentation given by Kyle
Gilley. Mr. Trump was very attentive and asked questions of the production process.

Mr. Trump then went to the lower level training
room to speak in front of the POET Gowrie team members and 20 invited guests. He was very gracious and
signed his book for team member Janice Pochinski, Quality Manager and Mr. Wael Sanduka.

They are doing an amazing job said Mr. Trump
of POET Biorefining great stuff and great people. After a brief stop in the plant Mr. Trump was whisked away
to the event in Fort Dodge that same evening.

Proponents, opponents testify at hearing

in Boone on Bakken Oil pipeline Nov. 19

By Austin Harrington
Ames Tribune

Supporters and opponents of the proposed Bakken pipeline gathered Thursday at the Boone County Fairgrounds to begin a hearing with the Iowa Utilities Board
that will determine if the company proposing the pipeline
will have the ability to use eminent domain to gain rights
to the land located along the path that the pipeline would be
built.

If built, the pipeline, being proposed by Texasbased company Dakota Access LLC, would carry crude
oil from North Dakotas Bakken Shale through South Dakota and Iowa en route to a hub in Pakota, Ill., where it
would connect to a Texas-bound pipeline. It would extend
343 miles through 18 Iowa counties, including Story and
Boone.

Thursdays event was the public comment period
of the hearing. Around 500 people attended the event, with
more than 200 having the opportunity to voice their objections or support over the pipelines construction.
Speakers that shared their concerns over the project focused mostly on issues concerning the environment and
local farmers that may be impacted by the pipeline, while
supporters of the project said it would create jobs for construction workers in the state.

Marcy Good of Boone was among the first people
ewho spoke, saying her family has been farming Iowa land

for seven generations and she was worried that the pipeline
may prevent future generations from carrying on her familys tradition since her farm is one of many properties the
pipeline would have to cross.

Caring for the land is everyones responsibility,
Good said. We all realize that Iowa has some of the most
productive land in the world. Iowa is in the business of agriculture, not the crude oil business. We plant seeds in our
soil that grows to nourish the world, we dont want anything planted in our land that could potentially be harmful.

Kevin Miller, a representative of the International
Union of Operating Engineers from Des Moines, said he
supported the pipelines construction because he didnt believe the project would create a serious risk to the environment.

Nobody in their right mind would want something to happen where there was a major spill or an accident, so that needs to be taken into consideration, Miller
said. I agree that climate change is an important issue,
although people need to realize that its a global issue and
it can not be fixed just here in the United States and in
Canada.

Miller went on to tell people who were objecting
to the pipelines construction to focus more on attempting
to clean up countries with worse environmental practices,
such as China and India.

Mr. and Mrs. Kalcie Lowry of Callender were
Friday afternoon visitors with Mrs. Ed Hanson.

Audubon resident Edward Wiederstein agreed
with Miller, saying oil pipelines have been shown to be a
low risk form of transportation for crude oil.

Pipelines are the safest method available for
transporting energy products. This project represents a
chance to help energy get where it needs to go with less
risk to our land and water and at a cost that keeps it affordable, Wiederstein said.

Arlene Bates said her family has farmed land
south of Cambridge for more than a century and she believes that any risk to the land is more risk than Iowans
can afford. She also questioned the companys right to use
eminent domain to gain access to the properties owned by
people who refuse to sign releases to grant easements.

Why should a private company have the right to
come in and take our land for their own personal profit?
Bates said.

Elaine Foley of Montrose in southeast Iowa said
she thought the use of eminent domain was completely
unjust and called upon the IUB to protect the interests of
Iowa citizens over the profits of the out of state companies.
This insidious assault on Iowas land and its people must
be stopped. The obscene use of eminent domain power
to confiscate and prostitute Iowas resources must be de-

Thanksgiving will be celebrated this week in
our nation. The national holiday was first celebrated
in Plymouth, MA, by the Pilgrims and it has endured
through the centuries.

It is a day that we are thankful for the good harvest, and indeed it was a great harvest in Iowa this year.
It is also a day for thanking God for his many blessings.

We can thank God for our families, our friends,
our wonderful way of life here in Iowa. And it is indeed
a blessing and privilege to live in the greatest country in
the world.

To be sure, our nation faces conflicts and challenges in many areas of the world. We have experienced
pain and suffering in our own country. But as Christians
we also recognize that some of these problems are opportunities. We are always being tested through many
problems and tribulations, but we must always remember
that these continual problems help us grow spiritually.

These are some tragic happenings that defy understanding. We dont understand, but God understands
and thats all that matters. We put our trust in God.

Lets share our joy at Thanksgiving with our
families, our friends, and with others who may not be as
fortunate. Lets reach out and share the great blessings of
Thanksgiving.

Sometimes as Christians and as ordinary citizens we misinterpret what has happened. We dont see
the whole picture. And sometimes we are so quick to
make assumptions because of our fears. In 1815 a message was communicated to England that said: Wellington defeated. There was immediate panic amongst the
citizenry, especially amongst the aristocracy who feared
invasion. But this was a three word message and people
had only received the first two words. The full message
was this: Wellington defeated Napoleon.

Napoleon, who had previously conquered much
of Europe, was defeated at Waterloo, Belgium, by the
English Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley in June of
1815. The history of Europe and our world was changed
in a mighty way.

In our own Christian spheres we can be leaders and make a difference. The world may be terrified
about horrific events, but we Believe and therefore we
feel a confident peace because our trust is in God who is
in control. We ask God for understanding and we look
for opportunities to serve.

Come ye thankful people come. Raise the song of
harvest-home. All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms
begin. From radio and TV reports I have been hearing that
all or most of Iowas crops have been harvested and safely
gathered in and, they are quite bountiful.

We had summer so long this year it is hard to believe we soon could be, as was said in the old days, chipping
the ice out of the stock tank and seeing the white stuff flying
around any day. Its Iowa so who knows? What I cant seem
to catch up with is that Thanksgiving is upon us. Oh, I have
seen all the fall dcor items in the stores and the ads for hams
and turkeys and the trimmins for Thanksgiving dinner but
marketing is always hyped up way ahead of most holidays
and then suddenly the day is here and still we arent always
prepared.

In my youth when all our families were intact and
aunts, uncles and cousins were not that far away (both sides
of my family) we always had Thanksgiving somewhere with
someone and there was food, food, food. Mom kept busy a
few days before doing her part whether it was to be at our
house or anothers. If we were going away to another town
it was easy to travel things like pumpkin and mince meat
pies, crescent rolls and rye bread and an easily transported or
put together there side dish. After all, we wanted to be sure
there was enough for the big meal as well as snack stuff for
an hour or so later. That was the day we never let our bellies
get much beyond the stuffed feeling but what a good feeling
at the time anyway.

As families change, grow up, move away, get their
own, things change. After I had a large family and worked
outside the home I mostly looked forward to four days away
from the job but was given little time to relax. As long as
parents still remained with us we had to maintain a tradition

of that large meal that took most of the womens days before and during just preparing, serving and clean up. Men
still seemed to have the privilege of watching the game
or sitting off in a far from the kitchen room and gabbing or
snoozing.

Once I was single again and a number of in-laws
had moved to warmer climates, I was only obligated to one
side of the family but I still longed for those four free days.
Oh, I wanted to do it for family and I do love all that good
food but still --- So, while Mom was with us we did it and
then one of us transported Dad to Des Moines to share with
us. After he became a nursing home patient one of my days
to visit him was Wednesday so I continued that and then if
I was asked and so chose, would share Thanksgiving with
one of my children who now had their own families and inlaws. Now, I usually have celebrated a number of ways
with several people preceding the holiday. If a child invites
me and I am so inclined I may stop in for a short time. They,
too, are glad to have a day or two off. Our philosophy,
Thanksgiving should be every day and shared every day.
So, however you plan to spend your Thanksgiving holiday
or weekend, I hope you enjoy it and whomever you are sharing it with. Be gathered in. These are precious moments,
those sharing moments so each time we do it, give thanks.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ONE AND ALL!

Lois Marie Lambert, 87

Lois Marie Lambert, 87, of Dayton, Iowa,
passed on into the arms of her heavenly Father, Sunday,
November 22, 2015, at Mary Greeley Medical Center in
Ames, Iowa.
Funeral services will be held 12:00 p.m., Saturday,
November 28, 2015, at the Evangelical Covenant Church
in Lanyon, Iowa. Pastor Marc Murchison will officiate.
Burial will be at the Lost Grove Cemetery near Harcourt,
Iowa. Visitation will be Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until
the time of service at the church. For online obituaries &
condolences please visit: www.carsonstappfuneralhome.

Lois Marie Olson was born on August 11, 1928, to
Floyd and Tina (Skoglund) Olson. She graduated from
Dayton High School in 1945, and continued attending
her class reunions until 2015. She was united in marriage
to Harold Lambert on December 21, 1945. The couple
established their home and engaged in farming northwest
of Dayton for over 60 years.
Lois was a stay at home mom for many years. She
was committed to assist with the farm work and do all the
bookkeeping for the farm operation. However, her main
priority was nurturing and development of her four precious children. She gave birth to twins, (Bill and Bruce),
son Brian, and daughter Sandi. She dedicated her life to
the support and encouragement of her children, 13 grandchildren, and 24 great grandchildren.
She was an active member of the Lanyon Covenant Church for many years. She belonged to the Covenant Women, led many neighborhood bible studies, and
opened her home to Joy Clubs in the summer. Lois valued her family above all else and entertained with many
dinners, picnics, and family reunions. She organized
many fundraisers and assisted many non-profit organizations with her finances. She generously gave sums of
money to great grandchildren so that they could attend
summer bible camps. Lois loved to knit and made many
afghans for all the members of her family. She enjoyed
reading, listening to Christian radio, watching sports on
T.V. and visiting with friends and family. Years ago, her
greatest joy was in helping others by delivering a casserole, baking rye bread, sending cards and letters, or making a phone call. She was a wonderful role model for all.
She had many others call her grandma, claiming her as
a profound, significant influence in their lives. She was
so interested in the lives of others, always encouraging
those around her to find Jesus Christ for a born again
experience. She was bold in her faith and steady in her
commitment to Christ. She will be missed by very many
people.
Survivors include her children; Bruce (Joan) Lambert of Dayton, Iowa, Brian (Kathy) Lambert of Dayton,
Iowa, and Sandi (Steve) Ward of Ames, Iowa; daughterin-law, Cari Lambert of Dayton, Iowa; three sisters, Mavis (Phil) Presler of California, Marilyn (Chet) Cole of
Texas, and Janet (Greg) Crew of Oregon; she was loved
and cherished by thirteen grandchildren, twenty four
great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Harold Lambert on May 18, 2011, and one son,
Bill Lambert in 2010.
Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family.

nied, Foley said.

Scott Hughes said he grew up his familys farm
in Wildwood, Mo., which had oil pipelines running across
the property. He said he never experienced any issues with
the pipelines, but the impact it would have on local construction workers would make the product worthwhile.
Hughes said that even though the jobs created by the pipeline project would be mostly temporary jobs, it would give
families a way of, paying the mortgage, paying monthly
utility bills and putting their kids through college.

Nevada, Iowa, resident Heidi Drees-White said
that the pipeline might create some union jobs for construction workers but it may take jobs away from other
union members, such as railroad workers.

It takes a two-person crew to take a train from
Omaha to Boone and another two-person crew to take that
train from Boone to Clinton. That means four people to
take an oil train across the state and four people to take it
back empty. Two hundred forty jobs per week and 12,480
jobs each year. These trains are moved by Iowans who live
in our state permanently, and are currently employed in
union positions, Drees-White said.

Several members of the group opposing the pipeline pointed out that many of the speakers, such as Hughes,
came from out of state and didnt represent the interests of
Iowa residents.

Nathan Malachowski, of Des Moines, and a
member of Iowa Citizens for Community Involvement,
which has opposed the pipelines construction and the use
of eminent domain to obtain property for the project, criticized the IUBs process and told the board he would be one
of the many Iowans who would inherit the consequences
of your decision making.

Think about us, because this really isnt your
decision to make. Who are you to put the futures of young
folks across the country into jeopardy? So you can what,
pad your resume by successfully protecting corporate interests at the utilities board? Please the governor? Advance
your political careers? Its my understanding that some of
you on the board have already failed at that anyway. My
generation still has hope that theres another way of doing
things, Malachowski said.

No comments were made by the IUB during the
eight-hours of testimony. All rulings and decisions will be
held for the end of the hearing process. The evidentiary
hearing is scheduled to begin on Nov. 16 and continue
through Dec. 2, depending on the amount of time needed.

A crowd of people objecting to the construction
of the proposed Bakken pipeline, gathered in front of the
community building at the Boone County Fairgrounds before the Iowa Utilities Board hearing began Thursday. The
crowd chanted and gave speeches that outlined why they
are resisting the pipeline. Photo by Austin Harrington/Ames
Tribune.

Mirian Kashia of North Liberty refused to face
the Iowa Utilities Board and decided to address the crowd
instead during the IUB hearings over the proposed Bakken
pipeline Thursday in Boone. Kashia, while standing in front
of a large clock that showed her remaining time, said it was
up to the people to decide if the project should move forward, not the IUB. Photo by Austin Harrington/Ames Tribune.

so fast. I was one of the last to leave, about 10 minutes before 7 p.m. It was so much
fun to listen and talk with the Johnson Law firm members along with the many people
from the Gowrie area community attending this historic milestone.

David Tjepkes, former state representative, is also a former Highway patrolman. He recalled how a senior partner at the Johnson law firm had brilliantly handled
one case he was involved in several decades ago.

I did visit with my friend Dale Miller who also has good experiences with this
law firm. Dale and wife Kay were in Des Moines earlier that day helping a family
member.

I was asked about Keith Ferguson, who is now a retired attorney in Dayton. I
had recently enjoyed a good visit with Keith and he is well. Wife Mary and son Wade
help Keith get around; Keith is aided by one of those electric motorized chairs.

I did meet Gayle Redman for the first time. She is the newly elected Mayor of
Gowrie.

There were great
hot meat entrees and an
elegant cold meat and vegetable tray. Jim Kramer
was exhorting everyone to
eat well. And we did.

There was such
good conversation at this

THE GOWRIE NEWS

Daytons early years...

The town of Dayton was laid out and named by
Benjamin Allison, in Nov. 1856. This was two years before Dayton township was organized. Allison named the
town West Dayton. In 1857, Allison built the first house
in town. It was located where the Dayton House, or hotel,
once stood - now the site of the Clover Farm Store. The
house, 16 x 28, had two rooms. The family lived in one
and Allison operated a store in the other. The supplies for
the store were hauled from Keokuk by ox teams; it took
from four to six weeks to make the trip. However, the
store failed after two years, due to the depression from
1857 to 1865.

Some of the early families made their first
homes in caves in the hillsides, which afforded more
protection from the weather, than the covered wagons. A
short distance south and east of town these caves can still
be found. Later log cabins were built among the trees.
Benjamin Allison Started a saw mill in 1856, which supplied lumber for building.

Dayton became an incorporated town, with the
official seal on July 21, 1881. This was published in the
Dayton Review July 21, 1881.

Since Dayton was established in 1856, it has had
a variety of business establishments. Some thrive for a
while, but the changing needs of the people warranted a
change of business.

Therefore, we look back to the old days, when
rwe had harness shops, blacksmith shops and three delivery stables, that have been replaced by the garages and
-implements shops of today.
-
Through the years, we have lost a number of
,business houses; such as those that sold boots and shoes;
aand coal, the creameries; millinery shops; hotels, flour
bmills, saw mills, brick and tile factories, etc.
s
A stage coach route was established in the fall of
1856, on the west side of the river, between Fort Dodge
tand Des Moines. Oscar Powell was the stage coach
-driver. The route came through Dayton on the street east
,of the business district, to the basement barns and stage
-coach building. Here horses were kept to exchange for
:fresh teams for continuation of the trip.

An opera house above a corner brick buildring had fine scenery and seating capacity for several
hhundred. The seats were straight backed wooden chairs.
gAll community entertainment such as movies, wrestling
matches, class plays and speech contests and high school
0graduation exercises were held here.
The Dayton Review was the first newspaper
sprinted on May 2, 1879. It was founded by D. C. Auyer and C. E. Dennison. One of the main editorials was,
Working the Roads asking for improvement of highways for the benefit of the people. The paper was sold to
J. A. Lindberg in 1880 and edited by him for the next 10
years.

Grocers sold all of their food in bulk. People
ordered their food by the pound. Coffee was sold green
and had to be roasted and ground by the customer. Eggs,
butter and corn were used by some consumers to trade
for food supplies. There were no egg cases, so the eggs
were paced in boxes and baskets in grain. Some grocers
had corncribs behind their stores for storage.

Not only food was sold in the three stores, which
were called general stores, most items of clothing, shoes,
boots and household linens were also on the shelves.

t
t

Today Daytons one grocery store has most of
its foods packaged. There are also many other items
sold, reminding us of the three general stores of long ago.

Soon after the end of World War I, a group of
veterans organized the American Legion. It was named
Peterson Post 323. Three Peterson men from three different families lost their lives during the war. World War II
veterans joined the Peterson Post and since that time the
membership has been around 100.

In the eastern portion of Dayton Township a
brief flurry of coal mining flourished near the mouth of
Skillet Creek in the 1890s which resulted in a post office
named Lindberg being established in the area. This town
had several names but the one remembered by the middle
aged generation was Hard scrabble.
