Who could have murdered

Since 1877!

Reward being offered. . .

By Glenn Schreiber


Who would want to kill Roger Brown, our friend
who lived in Dayton for several decades?

That was the question on everyones mind last
week.

There are rumors that Roger had loaned one person some money and that he wanted to his money back.
I have heard several rumors communicated to me by several people this past week. The deal possibly involved
drug use (by the other person) but really these rumors are
all unconfirmed. No arrrests have been made.

The only thing known for sure is that this is a
murder case. Roger was shot and killed in his camper in
west Dayton. He was found dead on Wednesday, Sept.
30.

People who have any information on this case
should call law enforcement agencies. People who have
any information on this crime should call the Webster
County Sheriff at 515-573-1410 or Crime Stoppers at
515-573-1444.

There is a reward of up to $1,000 for the arrest
and conviction of the murderer.

Said Sheriff Jim Stubbs, We are reviewing the
evidence and we are following every lead. There are
many rumors right now about this case. Some rumors
may have validity and some may have none.

He continued, It is our job to review information and confirm facts. If people have information that
could help us, please call us. Right now our investigators
are reviewing a lot of information. But again, if anyone
has information they think will be helpful, please call us.

Dayton Review

Washington Winners conduct

October meeting, elect club officers

One true story about Roger Brown. . .

Our Dayton community is still in shock over the
murder of Roger Brown who was found dead from a gunshot at his small trailer in West Dayton about two weeks
ago.

The relationship between Roger Brown and the
Dayton area community was very good. So many people
interacted with Roger and helped in many ways. Roger
obliged by helping us too. We liked Roger and he liked
us.

This column will showcase one story of that
bond between Roger and the Dayton community. There
are many, many other similar stories.

Several years ago one person in Dayton learned
that Roger hadnt paid his utility bill. He inquired about
the amount, which was a relative pittance, about $53.

I want to pay Rogers bill, he said to one city
official. But I dont want Roger to know who did this.

The utility bill was paid. At the time, that $53
was a lot of money for Roger and he was very happy.

We do live in a small town. Roger did find out
who paid his bill. Sometimes Roger had an almost insatiable appetite to learn who was helping him.

Roger, in a sense, was from the old school.
He didnt believe in handouts. He wanted to work for
what was given to him. Many people today rely on government services for many things, but Roger didnt have
that mentality.

He approached the anonymous donor. Roger
asked, What can I do for you?

Nothing, the person said. I am just happy to
help you a little.

Roger persisted. There must be something I
can do for you. He mentioned several things.

Okay. And so Roger did do a task that needed
to be done.

What else can I do? asked Roger a few weeks
later. Roger felt he hadnt totally repaid his debt.

Buy me a beer sometime, said this person.
And so Roger bought this person a beer at the Frontier
Lounge.

Roger still persisted in wanting to do more. And
then this helper said this to Roger: I just ask that you
help someone else in need in the future.

Roger looked this person in the eye. Yes, I
guarantee you I will do that.

They shook hands on that and the subject was
closed.

Roger had this type of relationship and bond
with many people in our community. He was a member
of our community family.

Dayton Community Club

holds October meeting

To the editor and Lehigh area:

First, I want to apologize to my daughter for not
doing my job as a father and that is to protect her and
make it safe to walk down the streets in Lehigh.

I was trying so hard to prove to some people in
Lehigh that I was not the one to call the Highway Patrol
and now I realize I should have done more. I am referring to the Highway Patrol coming to Lehigh during our
recent Quilt Show.

We are learning now that law enforcement
agencies had seen videos posted on car burnouts (peeling
out) from last years event. They were ready this time.

For some reason I was blamed for notifying law
enforcement along with some council members and our
Mayor Paula Martin. We were verbally harassed during
the cruise and afterwards this year.

I want to commend law enforcement for seeing
the videos on the internet. They came to Lehigh to control the burn-outs and indeed stop this dangerous practice.
(Burn-outs are caused by sudden acceleration at stop
signs that result in tires burning and when they go a
certain distance they can be dangerous).

I feel let down by our former mayor who condoned some acts he witnessed that put our lives in danger
last year. I said something to one person last year and
now realize I should have said more. Thankfully no one
was hurt last year.

I also want to apologize to the good people of
Lehigh as we are supposed to help each other and I did
not step up in a way to stop some people last year (who
were vocally angry) with me.

Some people think I ruined their fun. But a
burn-out can put peoples lives at risk along with our
children.

I also want to congratulate the WC Cruisers
for doing what they love to do and for trying to stop the
cars from doing burn-outs as they want a nice soft cruise
where people can feel safe and have a good time.

I again want to apologize to my wife for allowing our daughter to have to walk up and down the street
from the Lehigh Museum to the Quilt Show (Golden
Memories) while all of this was going on a year ago. It
is sad that she did not feel safe in her own home town.

I should have said more instead of saying nothing and let the bullies intimidate me.

I also want to thank current mayor Paula Martin
for her assistance in this situation.

A discussion of the date of Ladies Night Out,
volunteers needed for the Festival of Lights and a new
motto were the highlights of the Dayton Community
Club meeting at noon on Wednesday, Oct. 6 at the Iron
Saddle Saloon.

The meeting was called to order at noon. The
secretarys report and treasurers report was approved before the meeting was set in motion. was approved Becky
motioned and Bonnie seconded to approve the secretarys
report. Bonnie motioned and Amanda seconded to approve the treasurers report.

Meredith Gallentine read a letter from community club member Glenn Shreiber of the Dayton Review protesting the Ladies Night Out date. Among other
items, the letter asked the club to consider future ramifications of its choice of dates.

No one from the school has signed up to work
for the school for the Festival of Lights this upcoming
holiday season.

It was decided to put the dates on the community
signs and ask for volunteers. The time and date the Community Club has currently slated is at 1 p.m. on Saturday,
Oct. 24.

The museum fundraiser will be Sunday, October
11 from 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at the Dayton Community
Center. There will be chili, cinnamon rolls, and hot dogs/
chips for kids.

Rob Scott was re-elected to the Celebration
Committee and Gary Schlief was elected to fill Jason Sorensons spot.

The Slogan Preserve, Promote, Progress was
approved as the slogan for the Dayton Community Club.
The club will be producing and distributing stickers that
say this to area businesses.

The dedication of the Kathlynn Shepard Memorial was well-attended. There will be an article in Thunder Road Magazine.

Dayton Elementary Principal Dan Grandfield
reported and thanked the Dayton Rodeo Celebration
Committee for treating the elementary students to a trip
to the rodeo grounds.

Jesse Green asked if this could be on Friday next
year, instead of Thursday.

Grandfield also mentioned that this week is Fire
Prevention Week and the firefighters are bringing the
new fire truck to the school Friday.

The next meeting is set for Wednesday, Nov. 11
at the Iron Saddle.

Apologizing to his daughter. . .

Jaguar cross country teams make most

of the Pocahontas Area Invitational
Boys take team title, Girls finish 4th...

n
The Southeast Valley cross country teams made
lthe most of a recent Saturday morning trip to Pocahontas
-for the Pocahontas Area Invitational.
r
The Jaguars came back home with the boys
team title, a fouth place finish for the girls, the individual
tboys champion, seven varsity medalist, three JV medalgists and 32 season PRs.

This was a great meet to see how we stacked
wup in the conference, Head Coach Travis Nuss. Im exrtremely excited about where we are at right now.
g
Spencer Warehime won his third meet of the
season to lead the boys cross country team on Saturday.
gHis time of 16:44 was only three seconds off his season
-best. Josh Johnson (5th, 17:34), Patrick Breitsprecher
-(12th, 18:20) and Jacob DeBaun (14th, 18:30) were all
medalists in the boys race as well as running their career
pbest times.
a
Josh Carlson (25th, 19:20), Nathan Montgom-

ery (34th, 19:54), and Todd Hamilton (35th, 19:56)

rounded out the varsity seven for the Jaguars.

Southeast Valleys 56 points was 23 points better
than second place Sioux Central and Emmetsburg. The
Jaguars were also the top Twin Lakes Conference school
in the meet which hosted all the conference schools.

This makes the boys team look like the top contenders for the conference title at the conference meet in
two weeks.

In the girls varsity race, senior Natalie Lambert
continued to improve running a 20:44 to finish third and
lead the Jaguars.

Alli True (9th, 21:50) and Josie Breitsprecher

impressive team from Pocahontas in two weeks at Lake
City.

In the JV races, both the boys and girls teams
came home with 3rd place finishes as a team.

We havent had all the girls healthy the last
few weeks, Nuss said. But if we can get everybody

Power poles replaced, upgraded west of Harcourt. ..

New electric power poles were installed recently by Midland Power along Highway 175 between Gowrie
and Harcourt. The work was subcontracted by Legacy Power Line, Inc. and is part of a mult-year, $40 million
improvement project.

Midland Power replaces power lines

near Harcourt; part of $40 million project
Poles replaced along Highway 175. . .

In 2013 Midland Power Cooperatives board of
directors adopted the largest 4-year new-to-replace-old
work plan in the cooperatives history. The $40 million
investment increased the miles of line to be rebuilt from
30 miles annually in the prior work plan, to 130 miles annually during 2013 through 2016.

This commitment is designed to build on our
progress of improving the reliability of our distribution
system, said Midland Power CEO Bill McKim. These
steps forward, although incremental, have seen our average number of interruptions per member account during
the year decline 38% since 2008.

Midland Power has contracted Legacy Power Line, Inc. to work on power line replacements near
Gowrie, which are scheduled to be completed prior to the
end of 2015. The rebuilt areas will not only benefit from
the new equipment being installed, but will also have the
spans between power poles shortened. These improve-

ments will enable the system to better withstand the effects of high winds, snow, and ice.

This work plan, combined with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program (HMGP) funds and projects, has resulted in nearly 300 miles of distribution line being rebuilt
across Midland Powers system in 2014, and more than
10% of the cooperatives entire electric distribution system being rebuilt over the last three years.

Midland Power Cooperative is a memberowned, not-for-profit, electric cooperative that provides
electricity to homes and businesses in portions of the
seventeen following counties in Iowa: Boone, Calhoun,
Dallas, Franklin, Greene, Grundy, Guthrie, Hamilton,
Hardin, Humboldt, Kossuth, Marshall, Pocahontas, Polk,
Story, Webster, and Wright. Midland Power serves these
areas from its headquarters in Jefferson, as well as locations in Humboldt, Boone and Iowa Falls, Iowa.

Iowas Archery Deer Season began Oct. 1

Deer hunters have October 1 circled on their calendar marking the beginning to Iowas popular archery
deer season.

An expected 50,000 hunters will be hiding
among the branches on tree stands in the timber across
Iowa forests and field edges, waiting for the next legendary Iowa buck to walk by.

The herd is in excellent condition statewide
following the mild winter and early spring and the population is about where we want it, said Dr. Dale Garner,
chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Bureau. If they put in the time scouting and sight in
their bow, I expect hunters will have another good year in
the timber.

Regulation changes incorporated last year have
helped to stabilize Iowas herd. There were no regulation

changes for 2015.

Iowas archery season crosses over with the
youth only season for the first four days. The youth only
deer hunting season opened Sept 19.

Around 9,500 youth under 16 years of age participate in the special season each year. They must hunt
under the supervision of an adult mentor who has a valid
hunting license and habitat fee.

Only one youth hunter may accompany each
adult mentor.

Youth hunters harvested more than 3,300 deer in
the 2014 special season. The 2015 season closes on Oct.
4.

The archery season is open through Dec. 4, when
it closes for the shotgun deer seasons. It then reopens Dec.
21 and runs until Jan. 10, 2016.

B Y

It was built in 1957, only 58 years old, yet Sunday morning, October 4, 2015 the walls came tumbling
down. It only took a few seconds, first a large, violent
burst of flames spewing from the top, a deafening roar
and down it came. The old YMCA, which I considered still a very new, modern building, lay in a huge pile
of rubble, smoky dust hovering over that pile for a short
time. This was a place where people of different generations, ages, races, had met for many activities, had taken
various classes, enjoyed swimming, basketball, volleyball, many athletic and body building activities. Meetings were held there, planned and extemporaneous or
happenstance get togethers. It was a refuge for many men
over the years in that they could find affordable housing and in later years even the homeless were helped. I
thought it was here to stay at least through my lifetime.
I hadnt been in it for years but memories flooded back
to around my second and third years in this city when
I worked at the really old YMCA, thus enjoying some
of the things offered to members and employees. I even
tried to learn to swim there but came down with a severe
case of strep and ear infection and by the time I had recovered the classes were over. Never went to another.

But, someone decided even at that young age,
even though the Y was still a beautiful building (outside anyway) on a prime riverfront site that it was time
for it to go and so it did. Later in the afternoon my daughter and I drove past the pile of rubble and I had a twinge
at seeing it. There is a big clean up to do. One thing I
did observe was that the building practically across the
street still looked its stately old self. That building, once
housed the Des Moines Public Library and in the recent
years has been the home to the World Food Prize Foundation and the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates. After
the library moved to new quarters a few years ago someone had the great idea that this over century old building
should be preserved and thus it has been. It did not have
to go the way of so many of the other old buildings that
I remember were here when I came to Des Moines 69+
years ago.

Many of the beautiful buildings have been razed
over the years and our downtown has changed, creating
a more modern metropolitan skyline. I suppose that is
progress. But now, investors and developers are seeming to be coming in by the droves buying up old warehouses in particular and converting to apartments and
condos and charging what I consider to be exorbitant fees
or rents. They are hoping to bring many retail businesses
back downtown near to what it once was. Efforts have
been made to get more big businesses employing high
numbers of people back in the area and indeed a couple
or so insurance companies and a publishing firm have
not deserted downtown. Efforts have been made to build
up East Village, the area just to the west of the Capitol
Building and it is beginning to look more like a lot of cities Old Towns.

It seems there is always hope and replacement
in cities of any size, down with something, up with another, a shift from this area to that and back again. But,
again in the October 4ths Sunday Register was another
story of an Iowa small town school building readying
for demolition. The citizens were salvaging everything
they could from it and probably lamenting with one another and crying a few tears. It was reported this school,
Corwith-Wesley, is the 4,316th school district to close
in Iowa since 1950. In 1950 there were 4,652 school
districts in Iowa. Of course you know my next thought
Boxholm/Grand Community was one of those 4316
closings. Every time I read an article about the fate of
another I wonder about our once majestic old building
and the newer gymnasium addition. Nostalgia again
creeps over me. How long will the old alma mater facility remain standing? What disrepair will it suffer? Questions, questions and no answers. But, perhaps it is good
to know we are not alone. Time marches on and some
call it progress. At least our school lasted longer than
the Y but even that has had a replacement downtown.
The only thing is, when our building goes it is doubtful if there will be a replacement. So, that is apparently
why God gave us hearts and minds in which to store our
memories.

Dayton Review

Augustino Semprini, Lehigh, came

over to Iowa from Italy in 1913
Grew up in the Santacangelo region of Italy...
By Katie Neal

Editors Note: This story was written in 2006
when Neal was in her junior year at Jefferson-Scranton (now Greene County) High School. This is also
Part 1 of a two part series.


I love my great grandpa very much. I dont want
to brag, but I was probably his favorite great granddaughter. I dont what it was, but we always just had this special
bond.

When I was little, every time I saw him, I would
go running up to him and jump on his lap. Then, he would
start singing K-K-K-Katie, beautiful Katie.

From time to time, I always think of that song
and I always smile. Also, I always think about great
grandpa whenever I look at the wall in my grandparents
home.

In my Grandma and Grandpa Semprinis home
in Mitchellville, there is a piece of framed clothed that
contains an embroidered of Santarcangelo.

Santarcangelo is located in northern Italy and is
near the Swiss Alps. It is also the location where I can
trace my ancestors all the way from Luigi and Colombia Semprini to great-great-great grandparents Giovanni

August John Semprini was the June 1998
Resident of the Month at the Grandview Care Center in
Dayton. August enjoyed gardening, listening to baseball
and basketball games, along with seeing grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Photo courtesy of Ted Semprini and
the Grandview Care Center.

and Santa Campidilli, great-great-grandparents Joseph

and Angelo Semprini, to my great grandfather Augustino
Semprini.

Augustino is my Grandpa Ted Semprinis father. Italians are natural storytellers, and my great grandpa was always telling stories about his life to the younger
generations, and now my grandpa has taken on that role
of retelling stories from Italy.

I decided to sit down and talk to my grandpa, so
that generations to come can know how the Semprinis
ended up in Iowa.

My great great great grandparents had three
children before leaving Italy. They were creative with the
naming of their children.

Their first daughter was named Prima, meaning
first in Italian. Their second daughter was named Seconda, meaning second in Italian.

Their third child they had in Italy was born in
August, and they named him Augustino.

My grandparents have a video of Santarcangelo, and in the video, there are church bells ringing in the
background. The church bells brought on a memory of
Great Grandpa Augustino.

When he was five years old, he used to ring the
church bells every Sunday. For his payment, the priest
would give him a quarter of wine every Sunday.

Augustino used to drink the whole quarter on his
way home, and by the time he got him to his mother, he
would be drunk. After a while, Angelo got tired of her
five year old coming home drunk every Sunday, she had
a little chat with the priest and made him give Augustino
pennies for his service instead.

Augustino didnt understand what the big deal
was, as he had wine every day with his lunch. But, half
of it was filled with water, because they thought the wine
would kill off the germs in the water.

In Santarcangelo, Joe rented 20 acres from a
landlord, like many other people in the area and farmed it
for twenty dollars a year.

I dropped my jaw in awe when grandpa told
me this. It is hard to believe that it was possible to make
twenty dollars a year farming.

Grandpa also told me that, Every inch of where
they lived was farmland, there grapevine growing on every archway and at every house. Not a piece of land went
to waste.

In Italy at the time, they had socialized medicine, where everyone in the medical profession was paid
for by the government. Even with the government paying
for most of their medical expenses, the Semprini family
lived a poor life.

However, every Sunday afternoon after church,
they had a little holiday to make life more bearable. They
went to the ocean near where they lived and had a pasta
picnic together as a family.

Although they had their little holiday every
week, the Semprinis wanted out of Italy. One day, great
great grandpa Joe took his twenty dollars he saved from

the year and went to the bank.

He took three of his friends with him, so the
bank could loan him another 20 dollars to get to America.

His three friends signed for him, so that if he
never paid the bank, his friends could do so for him.

After he received his money, Joe went aboard a
ship in 1909 bound for America.

He did so in search of a better life for himself
and hopefully for his family.

Joe initially ended up in Indiana, working in
construction. One day, the chamber of commerce he was
employed with received a call from Iowa.

They asked for 15 of their hardest workers and
specifically requested Italians, because they were the
hardest workers, and Joe was one of them.

This led Joe to Lehigh. For four years, he would
send money home to his money for food every week until
he saved enough for all of them to come to America in
1913.

Darrel Mischke, Gowrie, retires from

gridiron chain gang at seasons end
Mischke served on the sidelines for 40 seasons...
By Tyler Anderson

On Friday nights in Gowries football stadium,
a familiar face has been seen on the sideline for 40 seasons. A familiar face who is appreciated by home team
and visitor alike.

Darrel Mischke, well known and well respected
in the community, will retire from the best seat in the
house after Fridays game between the Southeast Valley
Jaguars and the Red Oak Tigers in Gowrie.

However, hes hopeful that he sees and works
one more Southeast Valley home playoff game.

Hailing from Crofton, Nebraska, Mischke went
to barber college in Sioux City and had to be an apprentice in Fort Dodge.

He was approached to bring his trade to Gowrie
in 1969, and according to Mischke, the rest was history.

Ive barbered here for 45 years, Mischke said.
I still work part-time on Mondays. The day I used to
have off.

The Best Seat in the House...

last regular season game on Friday night in Gowrie.

Within a years time, former Prairie Community
football coach Don Lewis approached Mischke about
participating in the chain gang.

Don Lewis asked me over a haircut one day
if Id be interested in doing that, Mischke said of how
he joined. I was always been involved in football, even
though I never played.

I was the student manager of my high school
football team, and I always had a love for it.

From 1970 to 1986, Mischke and a series of
friends manned the chains.

After taking a five year hiatus, Mischke returned
in a new role.

They created a new job, Mischke said. Which
is on the homefield side where I just had to work with the
orange pointer arrow. Its a wonderful job. Im not really
in an official capacity, so I can get into the game a little
more. Ive done that since then.

For more than 25 years, he also provided watermelon for the football players after the first day of padded
practice.

Mischke said that he kept the watermelon on ice
for a few days, which was appreciated by the team.

Ive seen a lot of football, some of it good
and some of it not so good, Mischke said. I got to be
on the sidelines where two of my grandsons played for
Prairie Valley. I enjoyed that.

Mischke also remembered the creation of the
current Southeast Valley sports complex along with seeing Prairie Valley conduct many successful gridiron campaigns.

One of the highlights of mine was going
to the UNI-Dome for two
years in a row, Mischke
said.

Mischke recalled

Dayton Review

First white people came to this area

in 1849; elk, deer, and wolves roamed here
People used boats on Des Moines River. . .

The first settlement in the area was at Boone
Forks, two and one-half miles south of the present site
of Lehigh, were the Boone River empties into the Des
Moines River.

Records show that the Mericles and Spauldings
arrived there in 1849 and were met by Mr. and Mrs. henry
Lott who had settled there in 1846. Soon these families
were joined by Osborn Brannon, John Tolman, Minton
Brossfield, Squire McGuire, William Pierce, Tolman
Woolsey, Sam Eslick, Tom Holliday, E. Getchel, Phileman Johnson, and John Johns. By 1853 their numbers had
increased to 150. Other than the troops at Fort Dodge they
were the only settlers in Webster County.

How one family, the Jacob Mericles, migrated
to the Boone Forks frontier and some of the headships
they encountered was researched by our niece, Geraldine
Mericle Rouse- great, great granddaughter of the Jacob
Mericles. Her chief sources were the Histories of Webster
and Hamilton Counties and the obituaries of Jacob and
Phoebe Mericle.

In the early spring of 1849, Jacob Mericle with
his wife and four children, accompanied by his brotherin-law, Daniel Spaulding,his wife and two children left
their homes in New York and started out for Iowa. They
went with teams to the Susquehanna River,then by boat
to the mouth of the Juanita - up that river by canal boat
and then around the Allegheny Mountains to Pittsburgh.
From there they went down the Ohio and up the Mississippi to Koekuk.

Hence they traveled by teams to Des Moines.
Only two couples lived there at that time. The last part of
their journey took them up the Des Moines River Valley
to Boone Forks, arriving there May 1, 1849. The country
was as wild as when Columbus discovered America Buffalo, elk, deer, panther, and wolf roamed the area. The
streams swarmed with beaver, otter, and mink.

Jacob Mericle was a very successful shot and
kept his family well supplied with meat. In the spring of
1851 he came upon a panther which he killed with a second shot, although he had a narrow escape from being
killed by the huge animal which measured seven feet six
inches in length. He also killed between sixty and seventy
buffaloes which were numerous at that time.

Those early pioneers experienced some hairraising adventures. maude Mericle Ewing, granddaughter
of Jacob Mericle, told the following story:

The nearest place to get supplies and to have

grain ground was Oskaloosa, and it took several days

to make the round trip. One time Grandpa was gone to
have wheat ground leaving Grandma and the little ones
at home. Jacob Jr. was a small baby at the time.

Two Indians came knocking at the door. They
came in letting her know that they wanted food. One
Indian motioned that they would kill the baby if they
werent fed. So Grandma went to the fireplace to fix
something, putting the iron poker in the hot fire. When it
was really hot, she grabbed it and chased the Indians out.
They didnt come back, but told others about the brave
squaw...

Jacob Mericle wrote the petition to which the
government responded by sending two companies of
troops to establish a military post at Fort Dodge to protect the settlers from the Indians.

Landing in the same settlement as the Mericles
a year later was the Eslick family. Sons and daughters of
the pioneers who came from Indiana to Missouri in 1836,
they knew the proper garb for the trail. The men wore
coonskin caps, leggins, and a blanket with a hole in the
center lipped over the head for a coat.

They were bearded and carried knives and guns.
The women wore homespun linsey-woolsey dresses and
sub bonnets. Buttons were made at home of horn or
wood, but on the trail many mens shirts and some of the
womens and childrens dresses were laced at the front
with cord.

When settlers first came to the Lehigh area in the 1840s
and 1850s, wolves were among the many types of flora and
fauna no longer residing in Webster County.

Technology offers better chance to diagnose breast cancer earlier...

Stewart Memorial Community Hospital
(SMCH) is excited to offer 3D mammography (breast
tomosynthesis) for breast cancer screening. Breast tomosynthesis produces a three-dimensional view of the breast
tissue that helps radiologists identify and characterize individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissue.

We believe breast tomosynthesis will benefit all screening and diagnostic mammography patients,
and is especially valuable for women receiving a baseline screening, those who have dense breast tissue and/
or women with a personal history of breast cancer, explains Mary Reiter, radiology director at SMCH.

The centers Selenia Dimensions
breast tomosynthesis system is made by Hologic, a world
leader in digital mammography. The Selenia Dimensions
system offers exceptionally sharp breast images, an advanced ergonomic design providing more patient comfort, and the ground-breaking tomosynthesis platform
designed to deliver superior screening and diagnostic
performance for all breast types.

Breast cancer screening with tomosynthesis
when combined with a conventional 2D mammography
has a 40% higher invasive cancer detection rate than conventional 2D mammography alone. Tomosynthesis technology gives radiologists increased confidence with up to
a 40% reduction in recall rates.

The tomosynthesis screening experience is similar to a traditional mammogram. During a tomosynthesis
exam, multiple, low-dose images of the breast are acquired at different angles. These images are then used to
produce a series of one-millimeter thick slices that can be
viewed as a 3D reconstruction of the breast.

By offering women the latest and more accurate technology in mammography, SMCH expects to
increase the number of area women who will be routinely screened. Mary Reiter, director of radiology, says,
Knowing that patients are getting the latest echnology
and their exams are top quality will be an incentive for
patients to get their screenings done. According to the
American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the second

leading cause of cancer death among women, exceeded

only by lung cancer. Statistics indicate that one in eight
women will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. The stage at which breast cancer is detected influences a womans chance of survival. If detected early, the
five-year survival rate is 98 percent.

SMCH is committed to the fight against breast
cancer. In offering breast tomosynthesis digital mammography, SMCH provides the latest in imaging technology. If you would like to schedule a mammogram or have
questions about this important breast health procedure,
please call 712-464-4207.

The radiology technicians at Stewart Memorial
Community Hospital are excited to begin using the new
technology that can detect 41 percent more invasive breast
cancers and reduces false positives by up to 40 percent. Pictured left to right are Marilyn Mumm, Jenni King and radiology director Mary Reiter.

Its interesting to watch as the football season progresses, I start off wearing shorts and a t-shirt,
s Mischke said. And in one of those years where we went
to the Dome, it was actually snowing in one of those
, home playoff game. So you see the changing of the seae sons through the football season.
e
His expert analysis of the Jaguars and their opponents of past and present is also hard to beat.
.
Its been really fun to watch the team this
year, Mischke said. We have two wonderful quarterr backs, both of them can come into the game, and the ofe fense wouldnt miss a beat.

Ive enjoyed watching these kids mature from
their freshman year to their senior year. Not just in football as athletes, but as good gentlemen.

You see that from the position that I had that
you wouldnt see from the stands.

city council members in the Tuesday, Nov. 3 election.

Currently, two candidates are running for mayor
in Gowrie: current councilperson Gayle Redman, and
Andrew Summers. Both are on the ballot.

Additionally, two city council seats are available to be filled, and current city council member, Joe
Harrison, is running for re-election. Gayle Redmans
seat on the city council is the open seat where there isnt
a candidate on the ballot.

County Clerk Carol Messerly stated that voters
could write in any eligible person for the open Gowrie
City Council (including Gayle Redman). The Webster
County Supervisors verify election results the following
Monday or Tuesday after the election.

Carol also mentioned that people writing in a
candidates name need to darken the oval adjacent to the
their write-in candidate. Otherwise election machines
will not read this ballot.
Farnhamville race

In Farnhamville, the mayor is not up for re-election, but several candidates are running for two city council seats including Alex Farley, Rita Kail, Troy Jepsen,
and Ryan Willison.
Callender election

In Callender, councilperson Randy Hanson is
running unopposed for mayor and Nick Martens is running to fill the city council seat vacated by Hanson.

There is one council seat that is vacant with no
candidate on the ballot. There is a third council seat in
Callener that fills a vacancy. Kim Jondle is sole candidate for this position.

The Gowrie News is seeking to profile all
candidates running for office, but there has been difficulty in terms of receiving feedback from candidates,
and/or identifying viable telephone numbers or e-mail
addresses. Please give us your contact information.

Course completed;
new amenity added

The Gowrie Disc Golf Course installation ceremony will be coming soon.

Although the course has been installed since
Labor Day weekend, I just wanted to inform everyone
officially that it has been completed and tested and approved by many residents of Gowrie and the surrounding
area, said Phil DeCastro, coordinator for the project.

I would like to recognize the groups and businesses that helped make this happen by sponsoring the
holes on the course, said DeCastro.

Businesses contributing to the disc golf course
were: POET, Prairie Valley School Board, Heartland
Bank, Heartland Insurance, Macke Gowrie, Gowrie
News, Security Savings, Farm & Town insurance;

Design Electronics, Gowrie Family Chiropractor, Bruntlett Elevator, Marvs Market Street Bar & Grill,
Engquist Lumber, American Legion Post 431, Sons of
American Legion Squadron 431, and Kelly Halsted.

It only took two months from the first sponsor asked to the last basket that was put into the ground,
which was obviously immediately followed by the first
disc thrown into it by DeCastro.

This new recreational activity has already
made an impact on providing one more thing for people
to do in Gowrie.

Southeast Valley Jaguars manhandle

Red Oak on Senior Night, 46-18
Jags improve to 6-1, travel to Fort Dodge to play St. Eds...
By Tyler Anderson

Despite a few games left on the regular season
schedule, the Southeast Valley football team are already
entering playoff mode.

On Senior Night, the Jaguars clicked on all
cylinders and soundly defeated the Red Oak Tigers in
Gowrie, 46-18.

The Jags now improve to 6-1 so far in the 2015
season, remaining in the Class 2A-District 8 drivers seat.

I was very happy with offensive effort, Head
Coach Mike Swieter said of the victory. We had 558 total yards, tons of big plays and then controlled the clock.
Our offensive line did an outstanding job all night.

Swieter also commended the defense as well.

We held their first team all-state running back
to 45 yards rushing, Swieter said. Im very happy with
that.

The first quarter began a feeling out process for
the Jaguars and Tigers, before a 41 yard pass from junior quarterback Nolan Brand to Cade King drew the first
score.

After the missed PAT, the Jaguars held a 6-0
advantage at the end of the first period of play.

In the second quarter, the Jaguars saw a small
amount of trouble as senior Carter Steck fumbled the ball
into Tiger hands.

However, the stout Southeast Valley defensive
unit stopped Red Oak on a pivotal fourth and three with
less than 11 minutes left in the first half.

Following the turnover on downs, sophomore
running back Kaleb Jondle burst through the Tiger defense for a 60 yard touchdown run.

Following a failed two point conversion attempt,
the Jaguars extended their lead to 12 points.

Senior linebacker Logan Boerner evened the
turnover battle, coming out with a fumble recovery with
8:25 left in the second quarter.

Brand again found King on a crucial third and
long that put the Jags in the red zone, before junior Aaron
Swieter found paydirt from six yards out.

Brand then connected to junior Dakota Jaeschke
to stretch the lead to 20.

After a Red Oak score, the extra point was
blocked by senior Keaton Jondle. With five and a half
minutes left in the half, the Tigers narrowed the gap to 14
points, but trailed 20-6.

Southeast Valley responded with a big drive of
their own, as Brand hooked up with King a third time
before Swieter punched through to make the score 26-6.

Before the break, the Southeast Valley offense
drove down the field and scored via a 10 yard pass from
Brand to Jaeschke, enabling Southeast Valley to a huge
32-6 lead.

In the second quarter alone, the Jaguars outscored Red Oak, 26-6.

Coming back from the half, Brand yielded an interception that gave the Tigers a short field to work with.
However, Red Oak was unable to convert the fake field
goal.

We gave up too many passing yards, Swieter
said. We must get better, and we must improve our kickoffs and extra points. Special teams are going to hurt us,
l if we do not improve there.
e
The Jaguars responded in kind in their next
drive, as it culminated in Brand passing to Jaeschke for a
l 16 yard touchdown.
.
At the end of the third quarter, Southeast Valley
held a 37-12 lead.

In the fourth quarter, Southeast Valley kept the
Tigers at a steady distance, as Kaleb Jondle broke out another huge run and finished off Red Oak with a 58 yard
touchdown scamper.

While Red Oak scored on a 37 yard pass, the
Tigers were unable to mount a comeback.

What a game for Parents Night, Swieter
said. The seniors will always remember their last home
game.

It was on Senior Night where Southeast Valley
really shined, as Kaleb Jondle rushed for more than 100
yards rushing with 171.

King also captured his fourth game with more
than 100 yards receiving with 148.

Swieter also reached his third century benchmark in total yards, with 95 yards rushing and five yards
receiving.

Brand went 10-21 for 246 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.

It is Brands third time throwing more than 200
yards and his fifth going over 175 yards.

On the defensive side, senior Andrew Dorage
captured an interception while fellow classmate Logan
Boerner led the way with nine total tackles and a fumble
recovery.

Juniors Ryan Gustafson and Alex Pliner pitched

in on the winning effort, contributing with 7.5 and 6.5

total tackles respectively.

The Jags will look to continue their strong play,
traveling to Fort Dodge to play St. Edmond in a non-district game on Friday, Oct. 16.

The Gaels (3-4) fell to Ogden, 28-20.
In other district action, Shenandoah defeated non-district
opponent Atlantic, 55-19, while Carroll Kuemper defeated Clarinda by the score of 21-14.

East Sac County took care of West Central Valley, 60-6.
