Bakken Oil pipeline backers secure land in Iowa,

Webster County; will eminent domain be used?
Some lawsuits have started. . .

The following story appeared in the July 17

edition of the Des Moines Register. Since that date
more developments have occurred on the Bakken oil
pipeline that would travel through 18 Iowa Counties

including Webster County. One Webster County

farmer is quoted in this story.

A company planning to construct a crude oil
pipeline across 18 Iowa counties says it has purchased
easements for nearly 60 percent of the land along the
route.

Activists challenge that number, saying online
records show far fewer easement purchases have been recorded.

The company has asked the Iowa Utilities Board
for permission to construct a 30-inch diameter underground pipeline to transport up to 570,000 barrels of light
sweet crude oil daily from North Dakotas Bakken oil
fields through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution
center at Patoka, Ill. A hearing on the application is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 12 through Dec. 2.

Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Dakota Access LLC, a unit of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, stressed the number of easements obtained changes daily as agreements are signed.

But David Goodner, a contributor to online environmental website DeSmogBlog, said his analysis of
online Iowa land records shows that Dakota Access has
recorded 362 pipeline easements, which represents about
28 percent of the land parcels along the route.

John Murray, a lawyer in Storm Lake whose
mother owns a farm in Buena Vista County, said his inspection of online records shows easements have been
obtained on only 19 percent of the land along a sevencounty stretch from Lyon County to Calhoun. However,
he acknowledged the figure is probably higher, saying
there are lags between the signing and recording of easements.

Granado said the companys count on voluntary
easements is based on the actual easement agreements
signed, not necessarily those that have been filed. The
agreements are sent to county offices about once or twice
a month, and the company doesnt control the time it
takes for the county recorders office to review the documents and get them filed, she adds.
The process

Dakota Access has budgeted about $60 million

in compensation to Iowa property owners for right of way

and easement payments, which average about $46,000
per parcel of land. But some farmers own multiple land
parcels, and their payments reportedly total in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The company formally
filed its state application for the project in January, after
a series of public informational meetings were held last
fall.

In cases where easements are not obtained voluntarily, the company has asked state regulators for the
right to use eminent domain to take private property
through condemnation proceedings in which local boards
would determine fair-market payments. However, eminent domain is a last-resort option, Granado said.

The Iowa Utilities Board has not set a minimum
percentage of voluntary easements that must be secured
before eminent domain can be granted for the project,
says Don Tormey, a board spokesman.
Eminent domain
is complex process

Large amounts of pipe acquired by the company
planning the Dakota Access pipeline project through 18
Iowa counties are stored just east of Newton on Friday. A
company planning to construct a crude oil pipeline across
18 Iowa counties says it has purchased easements from
nearly 60 percent of landowners along the route.

But if eminent domain is authorized, its important to recognize the process is complex and requires
a lot of work, said Murray, who is also a manager for
the Northwest Iowa Landowners Association, which has
been organized to fully inform landowners about the
pipeline project.

For example, if 25 percent of the land for the
pipeline must be acquired through eminent domain a
distance of about 85 miles probably involving hundreds
of parcels it will be extremely difficult for the regu-

So for forty-eight years, each day the railroad
was part of my life.

Striking Interurban. . .

tricity.

The Interurban was a very striking, attractive passenger train that was operated on an different current of elec-

A.P. Butts, longtime conductor,

remembers The Interurban

The Fort Dodge, Des Moines, and Southern Railroad ...

Editors Note: This is an excerpt from the book
The Prairie Sampler, a project done by freshmen at the
old South Junior High school in Fort Dodge. This story
The Interurban, was told by A.P. Butts and written by
Shelly Schmieder.

As I walked into the town of Fort Dodge, my
eyes widened at the sight. I had on a farm in Indiana all of
my life and havent even been in a big city. There were
large, square white houses and smaller wood-colored
ones.

I jumped as a big black dog came running at me
from a fenced in yard, growling fiercely as I approached
the middle of town. I found it was deserted for the night.
I looked up at all the big buildings and stare in awe.

The town was so advanced. There were even
some automobiles. I had read about them, but had only
seen a few. Cars were not very common, where I came
from. One whizzed past me, making my heart pound with
excitement.

As I reached my destination, I had so many
questions in my mind about this place and its people.
How many lived here? What businesses were there? The
list was endless.

Using the directions I had been given, I approached the two-story house. It had a large front porch
with a swing, a big fenced in yard. It was my grandfathers house.

I walked slowly, then up the stairs. I was a little
nervous, and I hadnt seen him since I was seven.
I knocked, and heard footsteps approaching the door. It
opened.

Is that you, Albert? questioned his grandfather surprisingly.

Its me!

Well, how have you been? How was the trip?
My, how youve changed! Its so good to see you!

Oh grandfather, the town is wonderful. Will
you show me around?

Sure, I will. Albert, tell me about yourself?
What are you now, 19 or 20?

Im 21, grandfather. But lets talk about you.
How have you and grandma been?
Were just fine. Are you ready for that job I needed
for you for the railroad? I hope so, you start Saturday.
You will be helping out as a brakeman for the next two
weeks.

Yes, Grandfather. It sounds very interesting
and I think Ill enjoy it. Did you hear the news? Im going to Washington to work at a logging camp! Doesnt
that sound exciting?

Yes, but I think youll find the railroad just as
exciting, was his sincere reply.

Would you like to see your room? asked my
grandmother lovingly.

Yes, please. I would like to clean up too. I said
politely.

At that I went to my room. I could hardly sleep. I
was so excited about seeing the town. I tossed and turned,
but finally fell sound asleep.

I awoke with a jerk the next morning. I had momentarily forgotten where I was at. I heard grandmother

preparing breakfast. I was very hungry so I got up and

dressed hurriedly, my stomach growled as I walked down
the stairs. I was greeted warmly with a Good Morning
and a big, beautiful stack of pancakes and a pile of little
sausages.

I ate ravenously. I wonder what my grandparents thought of me then.

When we had all finished, grandfather and I
went out exploring the town. He showed me everything.
Fort Dodge had a newspaper office, a drug store, a saloon
and many other buildings. The town square was beautiful.

Back in 1909, there were only about 7,000 to
8,000 people in Fort Dodge, which sounded like millions
to me. I had never seen so many people. There were people everywhere in the stores, walking down the streets
and riding on the interurban, a local trolley.

There were houses lined up in rows. I could
hardly believe my eyes, as I never knew there could be so
many houses all together like that.

As night fell, my urge was satisfied. I had seen
the town. I was still anxious, for tomorrow was Saturday,
the day I started working.

Those two weeks went by very quickly. Working as a brakeman, I was actually an assistant to my
grandfather, the conductor. I ran the train as grandfather
talked to the passengers, fifty on each trip, while he guided me. I made 19 cents an hour.

I found the railroad intriguing. I loved the feeling of never being in one place for very long and the
speed at which we traveled seemed so fast.

We could make it to Des Moines in two hours.
I loved meeting all the different types of people. So at
the end of the two weeks, the logging camp didnt seem
nearly so exciting while the railroad was. I just couldnt
quit.

So on that beautiful spring day under Iowas
sunny blue skies, I decided to start my career on the Fort
Dodge, Des Moines, and Southern Railroad.

I worked for a year as a brakeman. After 14
months, in 1910, I was promoted to conductor.

I had to take passengers from Fort Dodge to Des
Moines and back to Fort Dodge every two hours. The fare
was two cents a mile. I stopped every mile to let people
on and off.

The interurban itself was basically one car, but
sometimes I hooked up to a parlor car. This was a fancy
car for the people who wanted extra comfort and less
crowded rides.

I would take the people right into the middle of
town, as the tracks ran down Central Avenue. The interurban was an electric line, so it used the street car tracks
while in town.

Others and I enjoyed the electric line because
it was cleaner than steam engines and trains. The slogan
while I worked was No smoke, no dirt, no dust, no cinders and it lived up to it for all the fifty years that it
lasted, from 1906 to 1956.

I loved the railroad and had many good experiences. The best though was that I met my wife Orpha, as
she was a regular passenger of the interurban.

Iowa Learning Farms, along with the SmeltzerT
Charitable Trust, will host a field day on Wednesday,
Sept. 2, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Smeltzer Learninga
Farm, rural Otho.
a

The field day will focus on the idea of integrat-4
ing several conservation farming practices to help reducee
soil erosion and nutrients entering Iowas water bodies.

Attendees can enjoy a complimentary suppera
at 5 p.m. served by the Webster County Cattleman ands
community partners. The program will begin at 5:30 p.m.i
with Angie Rieck-Hinz, ISU Extension and Outreach
field agronomist welcoming guests.
t

Matt Helmers, Iowa State University Exten-
sion and Outreach water quality engineer, will review theI
Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.
i

Field day attendees will be able to see some ofw
the practices on the farm that are being used to reducew
nitrates leaving the fields.

ally seed a cover crop plot on the farm. Harry Ahrenholtz
will explain the role of the Agricultures Clean Water Al-i
liance.
p

Todd Sutphin and Keegan Kult, of the IowaS
Soybean Association, will explain the bioreactor and
saturated buffer. Nathan Stein, of senseFly, and Davet
Nelson with Brokow Supply, will present information on
the use of drones in agriculture.
u

The field day will be at the Ann Smeltzer Learn-p
ing Farm, located one mile south of Otho on County Road
P59 (Nelson Ave). in Webster County. The farm is on then
east side of the road.
t

The Ann Smeltzer Learning Farm was estab-a
lished in 2006, as a learning farm to show different landc
treatments and conservation methods for farmers and
landowners to learn from and carry out on their own land.p

The farm grows corn and soybeans on severals
different land treatments including strip-tillage, no-till,T
and with cover crops.
K

More than 20 demonstrations on the farm include restored oxbows, streambank stabilization and buffers, grassed waterways, prairies, riparian plantings and
terraces.

The field day is open to the public at no cost.

The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy is a
guideline to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus that enter
Iowas waterways.

Using a suite of conservation practices such as
cover crops, extended rotations, nutrient management,
and edge-of-field structures such as bioreactors and wet-h
lands will reduce nonpoint source pollution significantlyA

in Iowa waters and downstream.

POET releases first

economic impact study

Dayton Tigers 4-H Club seeks

donations for SV teachers

To the Editor:

Hi everyone! My name is Karrigan Mentzer,
and I will be a sophomore at Southeast Valley this fall. I
am also a member of the Dayton Tigers 4-H Club. As a
4-Her, I want to take some time and use this letter to tell
everyone about a club project that I am leading.

My fellow members and I are currently holding
a fundraiser. We are raising money to purchase school
supplies for the teachers in the Dayton Elementary building to use in their classrooms.

We thought this would be beneficial to the
teachers because of all the issues with school funding.

On an inservice day closer to when school starts,
I will be going in and talking to the teachers, and collecting lists of supplies that they could use. I am working
with Mr. Grandfield on this project, and he agrees that it
would be beneficial.
We need your help in collecting our funds. Our fundraiser is off to a great start, with over $200 raised.

However, there are about 20 classroom teachers
in the elementary, and we want to help them as much as
possible. We have a savings account set up at Security
Savings Bank for this project.

You can go to any branch and make a donation
to the Dayton Tigers Savings Account.

Please keep in mind that any donation will help
us help the teachers, and all the funds will go towards the
purchasing of the school supplies needed by the teachers.

If we find that we have more money than we
need to purchase the supplies requested by the Dayton
teachers, we plan on going to the Farnhamville school
and helping them. We are hoping to have all our funds
collected by the end of August.

Thank you in advance for your help with our
project, and for helping us make a difference at the
school.
Thank you,
Karrigan Mentzer, Dayton Tigers 4-Her

On Aug. 13, POET released its first economic
impact study, revealing the significant impact POET
made to national economic growth and job creation in
2014, including: Generating a total of $13.5 billion in
sales for U.S. businesses; Adding $5.4 billion in national
gross domestic product; Supporting an estimated 39,978
full time jobs; and contributing $3.1 billion in income for
American families.

The report further details POETs contribution
to the economic prosperity in each of the seven states
where it operates South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.

POET, which is headquartered in Sioux Falls,
S.D., operates a total of 27 dry mill corn ethanol plants
with an annual capacity of 1.7 billion gallons more than
11 percent of the total U.S. ethanol output.

Ethanol provides us the means to produce our
own clean fuel and keep the enormous economic benefits
within Americas borders, POET CEO Jeff Lautt said.
The impact flows from the plants to farmers, communities, throughout the states in which they operate and
across the nation.

In addition, the report cites POETs impact on
reducing foreign oil dependence.

According to the study, POETs production of
1.7 billion gallons of ethanol displaces nearly 1.2 billion

Dayton Review

Senior Aaliyah Scott prepares to bump during a practice drills to get ready for the 2015 season. Southeast Valley
aims to improve from the 11-22 record achieved in 2014.

Southeast Valley volleyball team

looks forward to positive 2015 season

pay off.

Experience and turnover in the Twin Lakes
Conference may offer an opportunity for Southeast Valley to climb higher in the standings.

Defending conference champion South Central
Calhoun, who made it to the state tournament in 2014,
could be in rebuilding mode after the departure of nine
seniors.

East Sac County lost five due to graduation,
while Sioux Central also lost four. Newell-Fonda and
Alta-Aurelia may also be mobile standings-wise, as the
Mustangs lose only one senior while the Warriors saw
two seniors depart by way of graduation.

Taking a quick look at the opening schedule,
Baughs squad will have plenty of time to gel by the first
day of classes.

We have a couple of tournaments, JV has a
quad and Varsity has a triangular, right before school
starts, Baugh said of the schedule. Once that gets going, well see what happens.

On Monday, the Lady Jags head to Newell to
take on the likes of South Central Calhoun, East Sac
County and Newell-Fonda in a series measuring-stick
matches.

The next day, the girls travel to Jewell to play
Eagle Grove and South Hamilton.

For now, Baugh and the Southeast Valley volleyball team will work on the fundamentals and seek selfimprovement, which could lead to more victories.

Im just hoping that my vision that they can see
is that I want to push them, Baugh said. The two most
important things in volleyball is passing and serving. We
been working on that in every practice. I want them to get
better and I want them to win.

Lady Jaguars optimistic, return 9 starters...

By Tyler Anderson

On a bright Wednesday morning in Gowrie, the
Southeast Valley volleyball team was in the stands.

Not to sit around and enjoy the warmth of the
late summer sun, but to prepare for the road ahead by
jogging up and down the steps of the home side of Southeast Valleys football stadium.

Standing with associate coach Steve Kehoe at
the bottom of the aluminum bleachers was an optimistic
head coach in Renae Baugh. So far this season, Baugh
likes what she sees.

We have a ton of potential, Baugh said.
Theres a lot of talent. Im excited, they keep improving
every day in practice.

After a rough 11-22 inaugural campaign in
2014, the Southeast Valley Lady Jaguars are looking to
improve upon that record.

While the Lady Jags lost four due to graduation,
the teal and black return nine starters and quite a bit of
depth to their squad.

Returning to the court will be six seniors in Natalie Lambert, Kearsten Hainzinger, Cassie Zinnel, Micaela Reutzel, Mallory Strutzenberg and Aaliyah Scott.

Juniors Kenly Clough, Mickayla Willison and
Jaiden Ackerson round out the experienced Jaguar squad.

In 2014, all nine saw action while Strutzenberg
led the remaning starters with 157 kills and 15 aces.

Right behind were Zinnel and Scott, who tallied
90 and 59 kills respectively, while Lambert reigned in 34
aces in the prior season.

I want to improve every day in practice,
Baugh said of her expectations for the team. Every day
to get better, every game to get better, every match to get

better, every tournament to get better.

It will be fun. It will be interesting to see who all
shows up and it will be good.

For Baugh, the mantra of improvement could

Random Memories...

Have you ever had one of those wispy moments
when an old old memory flashed into your mind? Usually
something of that moment caused this flash back. You
might be driving along listening to your radio or a CD.
You might be talking to someone when a few words said
may cause that recollection. Perhaps you are reading an
article in a paper or magazine or watching TV. Maybe its
while you are sitting in church and a particular hymn, a
brief passage from one of the lessons, something in the
prayers or the childrens or pastors message may have
jarred that memory loose. I have a poorly organized
notebook by my computer and many, many slips of paper
with little jottings on them.

I had my memory jogged recently when sitting
in church so I dug out my pen and wrote a note on my
Celebrate, the insert with the days scripture lessons
and general prayers. From that jotting I wrote Marchs
message that I write each month for our churchs newsletter. Perhaps someday I may share that one but today
I decided it was time to clear out all those little scraps
of paper and share, asking if any of you readers are old
enough to remember some of them with me.

One Wednesday I happened to notice the little
woven market type basket that one of our quilters totes
with her each week. This brought back the memory of
my Grandmas market basket. She lived on a farm
approximately a mile from town. She sold fresh milk
and cream to a few townspeople who still liked getting
them right off the farm. She did this for a long time
until pasteurization laws came in to effect. She would
get her market basket loaded up, put it over her arm and
walk up to town to those few places where she could
also go in for a good visit and perhaps a gossip session.
She also carried her market basket to get a few things
at Strains General Store. I mean a few. She, for many
many years, thought homemade bread and hand churned
butter were the best and purest and she may have been
right. She canned her own vegetables, fruits and many
meats. She bought flour and sugar by the 100 lb. sacks
so had to have help from one of the boys when needing
that. That market basket served her well. I still remember
Mrs. Axel Westeen carrying her little market basket up
to Lundvalls once or twice a week. In later years Mary
Appelholm had a cart of some kind she pulled to the
store. When my folks lived in the house about a block
south of the pump corner I got Mom one of those fold
up carts so she could go up during the day when Dad was
out working but she remarked that she didnt want to be a
Mary Appelholm. Im not sure she ever used it.

Another thing I remember doing when in high
school was an after school activity at the Methodist
Church. Pastor Ol E. Olson was adept at leatherwork,
cutting out various items, billfolds, purses, etc., lacing together and tooling. He held classes at least once a week
and I went and made a couple billfolds (all I could afford). The ones I made were out of scraps, the scraps
laced together in a crazy quilt fashion then glued in some
manner to a backing and finally laced together to make a
very pretty, serviceable billfold. I gave one to Mom for
either Mothers Day, Christmas or her birthday. If the
lacings wore away they could be replaced.

Most of us, including town kids, unless they
lived near by, took our lunches to school. One of my
favorites was Moms big dill pickles fished out of the big
crock in the cellar. Lettie Johnson used to try to con
me out of it and once in a while, if she had a good trade,
I would relent. When it was warmer weather we had to
be cautious about the contents of our lunches so maybe
that leftover chicken or roast beef or pork were not smart
sandwich makings. How many remember the dried beef
(thicker cut than todays in the package) that we could
purchase at Jacks meat market? It was one of my favorites but would definitely be off my menu today lots of
salt. There was always peanut butter, jelly or peanut butter and jelly. I was not a jelly eater. Mom found a way of

jazzing up peanut butter filling to my liking by stirring

in some shredded carrots. Hmmm-- havent had that in
years but then I dont eat peanut butter now and thats
another story. Whoops! Who ate all the cookies or other
sweets in the house? Well, quick grab the powdered sugar, a bit of cocoa and the milk or cream and the graham
crackers (items always on hand) and make some graham
cracker cookies. They do sound sorta good, dont they?
In cooler weather if there was no meat of any kind, home
cooked or cold cuts, available, quick scramble a couple
eggs, cool as quickly as possible, mash them and toss
in some mayo (homemade of course) and some pickles
and theres your sandwich for the day. By lunch time it
all tasted pretty good and perhaps tomorrows offering
would have some more surprises. Apples were a regular
offering too and bananas a special treat. Oranges were
okay but could be a bit sticky. Seems to me tangerines
were an around Christmastime treat.

These are just a few of those random memories. Id wager it will bring out some of your own. Happy remembrances.

Bakken Oil Pipline...

latory boards staff to process all the condemnations,
Murray said.

But Energy Transfer remains optimistic the
crude oil pipeline will be built, and Granado said the
company is already stockpiling metal pipe for the project
near Newton. It will soon begin offloading and storing
pipe in Keokuk. She said the company is sticking with
its schedule that calls for the pipeline project to be operational by late 2016. Regulatory requests are also pending
in North Dakota, South Dakota and Illinois.
Response from landowners

Vance Bauer, who resides near Gowrie in Webster County, said he has signed an easement agreement
to allow the pipeline to cross two farms he owns. He declined to say how much he was paid, but he believes he
was fairly compensated for damage that will occur when
the underground pipeline is installed and for crop losses
over the next several years.

We already have a natural gas pipeline on our
farm that was put in back in the 1950s, and we have never
had a problem with it, Bauer said. That is a different
company, but whenever they have come in and done
checks and worked on it, they have always treated us
fairly.

Brian Betten, who farms near Jolley in northwest Iowa, says he has signed a voluntary easement with
the pipeline company and he has already received his
cash, which he expects to keep even if the pipeline isnt
built. He declines to say how much he received, but he
said: The money was really good and farming is not so
good right now.

I wish all my farms were on that pipeline, Betten added. ... The oil is going to get hauled regardless,
and I think a pipeline is way safer than rail.
Opposition to the plan

However, Wally Taylor of Cedar Rapids, a
lawyer for the Iowa chapter of the Sierra Club, said it is
not inevitable that the pipeline will be constructed. His
organization believes the project is environmentally unsound, and he plans to present the state board with strong
evidence he hopes will persuade regulators to reject the
application.

Chet Hollingshead, the chairman of the Boone
County Board of Supervisors, said he doesnt oppose the
pipeline, but he believes it needs to be carefully planned.
One of his big concerns is the impact an oil leak could
have on Iowas water supply.

It is one thing if there is a surface leak, but
what if it gets into the Jordan Aquifer? he asked. Lets
just forget about the human population for one second:
Think about all the cattle, pigs, chickens that drink that
water every day.

If you think bird flu is bad for food prices, what
do you think will happen if you have a bunch of livestock
drinking crude oil?

Residents enjoy the exercises of gentle yoga at Friendship Haven in Fort Dodge.
The classes are held each Tuesday and Thursday at 9:15 a.m. Yoga classes are conducted
each Tuesday and Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

Friendship Haven, Fort Dodge,

promotes gentle yoga classes

Friendship Haven features

New Awakenings program

Wellness is much more than a buzzword or a trend. Its a necessity for living
life with faith, passion, and purpose. Wellness also defines New Awakenings at Friendship Haven in Fort Dodge. New Awakenings holistic solutions give people choices to
foster a greater sense of well-being through:

Aromatherapy. The art and science of utilizing essential oils from plants
helps stimulate the senses and promotes the health of
body, mind, and spirit.

Holistic dining. The human body is a wonderful
mechanism that can optimally function only when it is
given all the nutrients it needs. As we gradually shift to a
healthy eating lifestyle, enjoying nutrient-dense foods to
a greater degree, we will start to feel better.

Drum and rhythm circles. Drumming is a fun,
effective tool for celebrating and building a sense of community.

Relaxation. The relaxation response brings
your system back into balance: deepening your breathing, reducing stress hormones, slowing down your heart

Step into the exercise studio at
Friendship Haven, and the dim lighting
hints that its time to unwind.

As you adjust to the quiet surroundings, your breath becomes one of
the most prominent sounds in the room.

While you stretch and hold poses
like pigeon, cow, and monkey, you
feel comfortable and refreshed in the yoga
and gentle yoga classes.

Melt into the chair, said
Andrea Metzger, wellness assistant at
Friendship Haven, as she leads a gentle
yoga class. Relax, feel your body move,
and breathe.

Andrea guides class participants
through a series of poses during the 45 to
60 minute classes, which include stretching, flowing sequences, and posture work
that can be completed while sitting in a
chair. No floor exercises are required in
gentle yoga.

I noticed positive changes the
first day, said Sandy Hogan, who credits yoga with improving her balance and
flexibility. Id been struggling with tight
hamstrings, and yoga has helped.

Joann Whittington also liked the
yoga classes, which offer a gentle, yet effective, workout.

Andrea is a very patient instructor who explains things clearly,
Whittington said. Shes always smiling,
which helps make this a supportive atmo-

sphere.

This supportive atmosphere
makes it easy to reap the benefits of yoga,
which include:

Reduced pain from arthritis.
Recent scientific studies of people with
various types of arthritis reveal that a regular yoga practice can help reduce joint
pain, improve joint function, and promote
better sleep.

Increased flexibility. Breath
and movement are pathways to keep joints
lubricated and muscles strengthened. This
can increase your range of motion and reduce chronic pain.

Reduced depression and/or
anxiety. The comfortable pace of Friendship Havens yoga classes offers a welcome respite for mind and body.

Moving slowly through the poses lowers stress, creates a feeling of calm
and relaxation, and enhances a sense of
well-being.

Sandy Hogan appreciated working with the same instructor during each
class.

She knows your needs and
helps you get the most from your exercises, which you do at your own pace,
Hogan said. Its nice to build a relationship and become friends.

Southeast Valley Senior football players...

The Southeast Valley football team boasts 12 seniors this season. Front row left to right are Cade King, Brent Nelson, Johnny Lautner, Carter Steck, Cameron Anderson and Keaton Jondle. Second row left to right are Conner Conrad,
Logan Boerner, Owen Oltjenbruns, Andrew Dorage and Zeke Miller. Not pictured is Chase Mobley.

ation. To Southeast Valleys advantage, the Raiders and

the Wildcats must pay visits to Gowrie this season.

Clarinda, Red Oak and Shenandoah return their
quarterbacks, where the Jaguars travel to play the Cardinals and Mustangs. The Red Oak Tigers, on the other
hand, visits Gowrie on Oct. 9.

We honestly feel that the district is more equal
this year, there isnt a standout team, he said. Theres
not a top to bottom. Its really going to be who plays every week and it could be one of those years where the
district champion isnt an undefeated team.

In their second campaign, Swieter also noted
that the Jaguars have lost their aura of mystery, but also
hold more knowledge of their upcoming opponents.

Its a very tough district, but were ready for
some things in our second year, Swieter said. Teams
will know more about us, they didnt know about us
coming together last year. Theyve seen us in action and
weve seen them. Now well see who returns what and
see whos ready, who made the best personnel changes.

Despite the changes and a chance of capturing a
district title, Swieter and his players realize that like any
other season, everything begins as a clean slate.

They havent put any expectations on themselves, I will admit it, Swieter said. It took some injuries early in the season, you could see where we were
deflated just for a little bit. But then, some other guys
have stepped up and decided that this was their chance.

Along with players taking the opportunities presented to them, the Southeast Valley head coach observed
that the team has come along and are working very hard.

Theyre working hard and they are very happy, Swieter said of the teams mindset. Now, they realize that we can get those injuries back later on in the season and whos going to step up and whos going to take
their place. Everyone took on more responsibility when
those kids went down. Hopefully we all get stronger from
it, and play more as a team.

Southeast Valley Jaguars aim for

return to Class 2-A Playoffs in 2015

Swieter, Jaguars return to the gridiron August 28 in Gowrie...

By Tyler Anderson

In the beginning of every new football season,
there is always a clear sense of optimism.

With high expectations, there are challenges and
questions presented to each and every team that takes the
field. Theres always the question of opponents, injuries
and other factors that every squad must face as the summer heat dies down and the autumn coolness takes its
place.

For Head Coach Mike Swieter and the Southeast
Valley football team, those challenges and confidence are
apparent.

The enthusiasm came from a 5-5 record and a
playoff appearance despite injuries while new demands
have risen up to meet the Jaguars, who are now in their
second gridiron campaign.

So far this year, the injury bug nipped the Jaguars early, alongside a new issue: depth or more so, lack
thereof.

Were not deep, were not deep at all, Swieter
said. Being a Class 2-A School, we probably should be
around 55 to 60, and we have 48. Were definitely not at
the numbers we would want.

However, the Jaguars have made up for the lack
of depth in experience.

We return a lot of skill, Swieter said. We
took some key injuries and had to move some kids around
to new spots after the first practice. We return both receivers, tight end, fullback, and now were having to train
some new running backs and some quarterbacks.

Southeast Valley returns 12 seniors and 11 juniors to the team, resulting in a team laden with upperclassmen. Among those 23 are wide receivers Cade King
and Dakota Jaeschke, fullback Aaron Swieter and tight
end Conner Conrad, who all earned team records in 2014.

We did lose four offensive linemen, so our biggest fear is replacing the line, Swieter said. We definitely feel that this line is coming together and will get
the job done.

The offensive and defensive lines, all comprised
of seniors and junior, will take up responsibilities in the
trenches.

Ahead of the Jaguars will be one of the tougher
schedules in the area, made up of Manson-Northwest
Webster (4-5 in 2014), East Sac County (8-3), St. Edmond (12-1) and defending Class 2A-District 8 champion Clarinda (9-2).

We have five away games, and we play at
Shenandoah and Clarinda, Swieter said of the coming
road trips this season. No matter what, that affects you.
Youre exhausted from the long bus drive, so you have to
mentally prepare.

On the flip side, East Sac County and West Central Valley have lost their top signal callers due to gradu-

Dayton Review

Upcoming football season

should be a fun one for Jags

Hey friends, its me once more. Its interesting
to know that August is always the calm before the storm.
Its the proverbial Dog Days of Summer, with the family vacations and roadtrips before the new school year is
ushered in.

For me, its the time where things slow down a
little bit before business starts picking up again. Softball
and baseball have concluded with fine seasons, and football is still a few weeks away. The Dayton Rodeo is a few
weeks away as well.

Thank goodness for Harcourt Appreciation
Days and Old Settlers Days in Farnhamville. Also, the
Culpepper & Merriweather Circus helped too. Great
shows in Stratford and Gowrie, by the way.

This time around, I want to talk about football.
Its good to know that I am a football fanatic. Perhaps
even more so than the average fan, as I love watching
and covering high school football (whether its JV or varsity), college football and pro football.

For the pros, it can be of any variation, from a
league such as Champions Indoor Football all the way up
to the National Football League.

So its safe to say that Im quite excited for this
season. Its not because of my beloved Denver Broncos
or the Iowa Hawkeyes, Iowa State Cyclones or the UNI
Panthers.

Each season, I look at those teams with a renewed sense of optimism.

Instead, Im looking forward to seeing the
Southeast Valley Jaguars capitalize on a successful inaugural season. With success, there will be new challenges.
Challenges that Head Coach Mike Swieter loves to meet
head on.

Over the offseason, the Iowa High School Athletic Association trimmed the number of playoff teams
from 32 back down to the traditional 16. Mind you, it
wont be implemented until next year.

Is it just me or is that good window of opportunity for a second consecutive playoff appearance? In my
mind, its an absolute yes.

Skimming through the roster for this season,
there are a lot of great kids returning to Coach Swieters
squad. There will definitely another friendly battle for the
starting quarterback position, with senior Logan Boerner,
junior Myles Davis and junior Nolan Brand vying for the
spot on top of the depth chart.

Junior fullbacks Aaron Swieter and Tristan Ewing will provide power to the offense, while Cade King,
who becomes a senior this year, can squeeze in between
the tackles and past defenders with his speed and agility.

King is just like his older brother Cody (who, in
my mind, was one of the best running backs in the history
of Southeast Webster football, alongside Steve Bintz),
and will rack up yards for the Jaguar offense.

The receiving corps has Conner Conrad, Andrew Dorage, Dakota Jaeschke and Keegan Goodwin.
That is a very talented group of guys, a blessing for any
one of the three potential starters.

The offensive and defensive lines are a year older, equipped with experience and packing a little more
muscle. You can thank great coaches and a legit weight
room for that.

Chase Mobley will anchor those lines, and an
interesting player to watch this season may very well be
sophomore Tommy Lennon. To me, Tommy will be just
as successful as older brother Pat was when he was in
high school.

Plus, there may be a dark horse player or two (or
more, to be optimistic) who will blossom this season too.
Swieter and his coaching staff, as with all of the coaches
at Southeast Valley, have a knack for bringing out the
best in their players.

So Im counting down the days until Aug. 28
against another talented team in Manson-Northwest
Webster. Just to broadcast this to my friends, I cant wait
to cover this team.

Friendship Haven Yoga Classes...

Andrea likes to challenge her students within a safe environment. I want to find a happy medium that still allows
people to improve their well-being.

Friendship Haven offers yoga classes, along
with aquatic therapy and tai chi classes, to people on
campus and in the community.

Its nice to be able to park right outside the
Wellness Center, Whittington said, who also participates in the Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Program at
Friendship Haven three times a week. All this makes it

gallons of gasoline, which requires 61 million barrels of

crude oil to produce.

This displacement potentially reduces the outflow of money to foreign producers of oil by nearly $5.5
billion.

The use of POET ethanol also reduces greenhouse gas emissions relative to gasoline. Burning a gallon of ethanol opposed to gasoline results in a 35 percent
reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Reflecting this, the production of 1.7 billion gallons of POET ethanol cuts CO2 emissions by approximately 874,000 metric tons.

POET employees, stakeholders, family and
friends are celebrating the announcement today at a series of POET Ethanol Day events in its operating states,
where attendees can enjoy food, activities and hear from
local officials.

SSB Travel Club visits Winterset

Mystery Trip...

On July 20th and 21st, Welcome Aboard Club
from Security Savings Bank were guests of Guthrie
County State Bank on a Mystery Trip. Its always fun to
go somewhere unexpected and meet new friends along
the way!

Darlene Eklund, Joan Orness, Mary Larson,
Martha Norine, Becky Comp, Kathy Swanson, Cheryl
Decker and Renae Lane left Farnhamville early Monday
morning and headed south to Panora where we met the
rest of our adventurous group. A bus full of inquisitive
travelers were off to see the Cutler Covered Bridge and
were greeted with a warm welcome by the Winterset
Chamber of Commerce.

A visit to Winterset would not be complete

without visiting the birthplace and museum of Americas

movie icon, Robert Morrison, who became the Hollywood legend known as John Wayne.

This beautiful museum just opened in May
of 2015 and is absolutely a must to visit if you like his
movies!
We were off to visit an old fashioned
nostalgic candy store which brought back memories of
candy buttons, wax bottle candy or anything for your
sweet tooth.

Off to an Amish farm south of Chariton for a delicious feast made the old fashioned way, without modern
conveniences such as electricity! Onward to the pretty little town of Albia where we toured a beautiful remodeled
home built in the mid 1800s, a refurbished bank which
was made by combining
four old main street buildings and finally getting a
little relaxation by making beaded jewelry! The
night was spent around a
campfire with smores and
ghost stories at the beautiful Honey Creek Resort on
Rathbum Lake.

The next morning
included a naturalist program about the history and
facilities of the resort, followed by walking (or riding in the golf cart) about
the nature trails.

Still keeping the
mystery alive, we had a
little shopping and a typical Dutch lunch in Pella.
Last but not least was a
stop at the newly remodeled Des Moines Botanical
Garden. It was two days of
fun, food and unique Iowa
experiences!

rate and blood pressure, and relaxing your muscles. In
addition to its calming physical effects, research shows
that the relaxation response increases energy and focus,
combats illness, and relieves aches and pains. Best of all
with a little practice anyone can reap these benefits.

Therapeutic touch. This practice is useful in reducing pain, improving wound healing, and aiding relaxation.

Yoga. Calming, gentle exercises provide the
chance to leave the outside world behind and be at peace
with ourselves.

Massage. Not only does massage help reduce
stress, pain, and muscle tension, but it may also be helpful for anxiety, digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, headaches, insomnia, myofascial pain syndrome, and nerve
pain. People also enjoy massage because it conveys caring and comfort.

Ultimately, wellness is a choice. Friendship
Haven is proud to offer people more wellness choices
through New Awakenings, which promotes a healthy,
essential balance of the mind, body, and spirit.
Friendship Haven Celebrates Music and Memory

Music and memory share a powerful link. Hearing a favorite song can evoke emotions that bring back
happy memories.

Thats why Friendship Haven has started a new
music therapy program, complete with iPods and customized music playlists. Men and women with a wide
range of cognitive and physical challenges find renewed
meaning and connection in their lives through the gift of
personalized music.
