Cyberbullying, such as Facebook, main

type of bullying faced by young people

Since 1877!
daytonreview@lvcta.com

Bullying program presented . . . .

By Jill Viles

One would imagine a program dedicated to eradicating bullying and teen suicide would originate in persons who had experienced these trials first-hand, but this
was not the case for Breck Johnson and his wife, Jenny.
Following a severe car crash in 2010, Breck and Jenny
searched for meaning in their lives, and decided to work together to provide education
to those wanting to reduce and, ultimately,
prevent bullying and teen
suicides.

We felt that if
we were given this second
chance at life, we were going to grab a hold of it and
do something important
with our lives, explained
Jenny Johnson.

Their group, It
Gets Better: Fort Dodge
and Beyond, is made up

extends into new spheres of life not encountered in previous generations. For example, young people can experience cyber-bullying through the use of social media.

Everything you do on the Internet is out there
for all to see, admonished Jenny Johnson. If you dont
feel like telling something in front of your mother or
grandmother, just dont put it out there. Johnson went
on to explain that even though you may
think you have removed every last trace
of an undesirable photo or conversation, it is still out
there and accessible to others. She
cites
Facebook
misuse as one of
the leading causes
for depression in
young people. It
causes a lot of drama
that is not necessary,
she continued.

Emily Larson, a
parent in attendance, concurred. I definitely see Facebook as a utilized search tool as we consider hiring a staff
member at our hospital.

Johnson stressed that this all boils down to the
relationship that parents have with their kids. You need
to remind them that nothing is going to shock you or embarrass you. You can never emphasize too much that you
have seen and heard it all before.

When a student is bullied in a crowded place
such as the bus, Johnson urges them to shout out what
is going on. For example, No! I do not want to kiss
you! shouted loudly and directly will alert surrounding
students, and perhaps the bus driver, that there is a problem on the bus.

Additionally she reminds students there are cameras on the bus, and their purpose is to catch bullying as
it happens and as a student reports the offense. However,
several students at the seminar said they are concerned because sometimes the cameras are out of charge or are not
working.

High School student, Maggie Mc Cormack
raised another concern. Sometimes our school pushes
things [bullying] under the rug.

In terms of advice for parents, the presenters suggested reading through the State of Iowa Code (280.29)
for dealing with bullies. She advised this procedure must
be adhered to, but also cautions that much of the language
is vague.

Additionally the group shared signs that may
indicate a child is being bullied. These include: missing lunch money, a child who pretends to be sick to miss
school, a child asking for extra money to take to school,
and finally, avoidance of after school activities. Also, a
child who is being bullied may be tired, lack motivation,
isolate themselves, have difficulty controlling anger, and
not want to tell parents whats going on out of embarrassment.

of three community members including Breck and Jenny

Johnson, as well as Josh Roberts. Breck and Jenny met
Josh Roberts while pursuing a fitness class, and they realized many of their ambitions in life overlapped. Since
then, the threesome has traveled throughout the area
speaking to parents, students, and educators about bullying prevention and suicide prevention. Recently they met
at the Gowrie Community Center, and spoke to a small,
yet eager audience of nine children and seven adults.

As Jenny Johnson explained, bullying takes
many forms. It includes traditional forms such as namecalling, social exclusion and physical fighting, but also

Colten Bills, Dayton,

charged in deaths
of Dave, Velma Castenson
Crash occurred May 8, 2015. . .

Colten Bills, 20,. Dayton, was charged with two
counts of homicide by vehicle last week in connection
with a double-fatality accident on May 8 of 2015.

In that early morning crash, Bills allegedly failed
to stop for a stop sign at the intersection of 175 and Samson Ave., a few miles from Dayton, and crashed into a
car driven by David Castenson, 56, Harcourt. Bills was
driving south on Samson Avenue.

Dave Castenson was killed at the scene and his
mother Velma Castenson, 85, Dayton, also died from injuries sustained in the crash.

It is alleged in the criminal complaint against
Bills that he was texting prior to the accident. The texting
allegedly started at 8:15 a.m. and the crash occurred at
8:45 a.m.

During the investigation by the Iowa State Patrol, there was a search warrant for the cell phone of Bills.

Bond was set at $20,000 during his appearance on Friday in Webster County Court. Judge William Habnab allowed Bills to be released with supervision (Department of Correctional Services) if he posted
$10,000 to the Webster County Clerk of Court.

And that bond was posted. The case will be handled in Webster County District Court.

Bills is also facing two traffic violations which
are failure to maintain or use a safety belt and failure to
obey a stop sign and yield the right of way.

According to the presenters, cyberbullying is
definitely the main type of bullying encountered by todays young people. Johnson urges a few steps when
faced with Internet bullying: Copy the offending material, and paste it in a permanent place, block the offender

Drive Your Tractor to School...

Students at Southeast Valley High School drove their

This is a column written by Glenn Schreiber
in April of 2005. People mentioned in the column
include Jack LeValley, Linda Hansen, Gary Hagge,
Dora Henrickson, Alice Thompson, and other people
and places.

Jack LeValley, Dayton, met Linda Hansen
downtown last week and asked, Whats happened to
Glenn?

Linda explained that we were a little busy and
temporarily understaffed. But why do you ask?

Well, he hasnt had his column in lately, he
said. (It didnt appear for two weeks).

So, just for good ole buddy Jack LeValley--Ive had lunch with him and Ivan Skoglund countless
timesIm back to writing a column and hopefully, it
will be in every week.

At the Post Office I bumped into Gary Hagge,
another old pal. Thats old as in years of knowing Gary,
not in years of longevity.

Lucy (his wife) doesnt let me out much, said
Gary in his dry humor style. But I do get to go to the
Post Office and downtown every now and then. And he
still is an avid hunter.

We recalled the days of our old coffee gang
meeting down at the Lunch Box (now Cedes). Every
morning at 7 a.m. the gang dutifully got together and
everyone had their own chair. Dick Chinburg, Jim
Ainslie, Gary Hagge, Chuck Danielson, Dave Cramer,
Dan Sonsken, Clarence Schlief, and our own Jan and
Dean (Jan and Dean Gordon). Jims wife Cheryl and
Jan would voluntarily serve coffee and breakfast for the
gang while Theresa made the breakfasts.

Theresa, incidentally, stopped by our office this
past winter and left me this note: Have you stumbled
down any steps lately. Buddy Rick Hansen witnessed
me loosing my footing on some icy steps, but I landed in
one piece.

Gary recalled the time when he was the designated Dead Crow counter for Southeast Webster County.
(Remember a few years back when finding dead crows
was useful in determining any outbreak of that now infamous mosquito driven disease, the name of which escapes me now). Anyway, I was designated the assistant
dead crow counter and there were endless jokes about
this.

Gary said he would be e-mailing some material
showing the true brilliance of Jim Ainslie, who recently
had a birthday. Its never too late to do a mini-roast.

And thats what the early morning coffee sessions were all about. We all got roasted and toasted over
the most trivial things. It was a riot, a rollicking show one
didnt want to miss and Ill never forget it. Maybe, just
maybe, somehow that past can repeat itself. But just for
the record, the characters in Dayton are still telling their
stories, just in a different way and place.

Don Appleton from Fort Collins, CO, writes us
this short note: Good job. Keep up the good work. Great
reading about the place I grew up. Have you heard anything about a 30-year class reunion for the Dayton High
School Class of 1975?

Don, no I havent. But Ill check with Sid who
still has a handle on the town. Hold it Don, Diane Peeler,
who really has some inside info on these things, said the
class of 1965 will be having their reunion on the Fourth
of July weekend. Nothing yet on the class of 1975. But
hey, class members get busy on your 30th reunion! Naturally, the all-school class reunion continues to be on the
Memorial Day weekend.

Dora Hendrickson, Daytons own Happy Hugger, brought me a gift a few weeks ago. It was a neatly
wrapped container with a card saying: Have a happy Easter dinner. Ah, food. Nothing better than that.

Inside was a small box which read: Three piece
chicken dinner, no cholesterol. I opened this smaller box
and there were three kernels of corn.

Dora has always caught me off guard with little
surprisessometimes things left on my windshield, my
car seat, whatever. But this time she really topped them
all. Maybe Ill have to get her a microphone for your performances at the womens club events. When she talks
into it everything will be in Latin.

Alice Thompson, a quiet, unassuming woman,
moved to Dayton about a year ago. She volunteers her
time in so many charitable ways and she is the type who
blends in so well that people often dont notice her, or
just take her for granted. She doesnt mind too much
because her constant giving bring her true joy.

When she moved from Colorado to the Harcourt
apartments about seven years ago, she volunteered her
time for the Harcourt Activity Club, working countless
hours at the concession stand. She does many volunteer
things for her church and in Dayton she volunteers her

Dayton Review

time at Community Grocery, serving coffee and meals

for the noon lunch crowd. This is a brief, and largely
incomplete list of the many wonderful things she does on
a continual basis at the age of 81. She is a lamb to almost
everyone, but a real tiger in her zeal to make our small
world a better place.

Alice got her start in life in the Lehigh area. She
was married to Leonard Thompson who farmed. Alice
wasnt the conventional housewife. She had an entrepreneurial spirit going way back. She owned and operated
the Riverside tavern and bar for 13 years and she built the
nice, attractive Riverside building that still is the Riverside restaurant and bar. She served a bountiful breakfast,
a popular lunch, and some great evening meals. Alice
and Leonard had an idyllic life, living in the castle in
Lehigh for those 13 years.

But her life suddenly changed. Leonard was
killed in a car accident in 1970. Her world crumbled, but
she has an inner strength that is incredible. After a few
years she was hitched to a new man and they moved to
Colorado. They bought a 750-acre farm and irrigated the
land for crops. They raised lambs (27 at a high point) and
calves (32, highest level). They lived close to the land
for 20 years until he died suddenly in 1996. Two years
later Alice rebounded again, with the valuable land given
to Leonards children.

Alice moved to Harcourt to be closer to family
members. She has a remarkable inner drive to help people, the community, and everyone around her. Her manner is so quiet that no one really knows what an amazing
life she has had.

Theres something amazing about those
Harcourt female entrepreneurs.

Speaking of restaurants, Hollisters in Dayton
has really improved. The Mexican food on Thursday
nights is simply terrificI love making my own fajitas
there. Great food, buffet style, so much variety and all so
good and hardly anyone is going there to take advantage
of it. The price at $5 is a great bargain. The fish fry on
Friday nights is also very goodone of the best around.

So, so much better and closer to home than having seafood in Des Moines, as if any restaurant in Iowa
serves decent seafood (lobster, etc.)

Hang in there Denis, looking forward to Michigan Joanna.

Puppy mills in Iowa. . . .

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter, asking the readers, get
ahold of Rep. Chip Baltimore, and Sen. Jerry Behn and
respectfully ask them to support the bill that would help
protect dogs, in dog breeding facilities.

Did you know that Iowa has over 200 puppy
mills? They house over 15,000 adult dogs, and Iowa is
second in the nation only to Missouri, in the number of
puppy mills. In 2015, more than 1/2 of them were cited
for violating the Animal Welfare Act.

Thats UP from 2014 when 47% were cited.
And so far, in 2016, 41% of breeders have been cited for
violations!

I am asking Rep. Chip Baltimore and Sen. Jerry Behn to support animal welfare legislation, and lets
show the nation that Iowa can and will do better!
Respectfully,
Adrienne Smith of Jefferson

Dont Forget the Little Things

We, in our busyness, tend to forget about the

little things in life. You are probably wondering what I
mean when I say the phrase little things. Well, here are
as few examples.

How many times are we going to compliment
someone on doing a good job or giving a good program,
and we dont because we feel the timing is wrong. We
dont happen to see the person when they are alone or we
use some other excuse.

How many friends are waiting for a kind word
from us and we fail to give it to them? Then there are
thelittle things we intend to do for the Lord such as
serving on a committee or teaching a class for Sunday
School.

And how many people have we invited to our
worship service? Of course. then there are the little
negative things we do such as responding to a remark
with cutting words.

Or the way we tear someone down because we
may be jealous of them? Yes, little things in life can
make a difference. Let us do the good little things and
eliminate the :little negative ones. Remember the Golden Rule do unto others as you want them to do unto
you.

from contacting you on-line, and tell a parent. It was also
noted that there are ways to report bullying situations on
the social media sites.

One of the main ways to combat bullying is to
speak up when you witness an occurrence. Also, the group
urged students in attendance to never let another student
choose to eat lunch completely by themselves. Reaching out to others who are lonely is a great way to combat
bullying. Additionally, teachers are great role models as
well.

Bullies have often been bullied themselves,
suggested the group members in closing. People bully
because it brings them power at a time when their confidence is diminished. Finally, the meeting closed with
the passing out of ambassador cards, which are cards
listing sources students can turn to when they need help
with these types of problems. Those interested in learning

The symbols of Easter...

With Easter almost here I was reminiscing about
last years Easter at my daughters home. After church
I was invited to her house for dinner and to be with their
family. It was a good dinner but the real treat followed
shortly thereafter when, thanks to a beautiful warmer day,
the little ones were taken outside for an Easter egg hunt.
Just watching their delight at each find, I had as much fun
as they did

Thinking of that time, Id like to share some of
the symbols of Easter. Some may be familiar to you and
others not as well known. Perhaps reading about them
will bring back some of your Easter memories or provide
new information.

The third week of February the frigid winds
were blowing causing driving, walking and other difficulties if you had to be outside. The next day granted us
an advanced glace of spring giving us a renewed trust
that spring would come. It was enough to prompt us to
look around us, some of us seeing robins; I saw crows
and geese. But as I stepped into my garage, there in a
small crack between the paving and the opening was a
single green spring of some kind of weed. I left it for it
was, to me, another one of His promises of good things
to come. Then I heard it. Though I couldnt spot it in any
of the nearby trees I thought it might be a cardinal letting
us know it was up there but not quite ready to show his
bright red feathers.

Easter is coming so we know that spring will
too. When thinking of all the signs of spring
I realized how many also are symbols of

Easter. There are quite a few, some of which may seem to

be far out or secular like the chick and Easter Bunny.
But, an egg is the symbol of the tomb from which Christ
emerged and the hatching chick is the sign of new life.
The rabbit was in olden times a symbol of abundant new
life, reminding of spring bringing new life. Lambs and
other baby animals are additional Easter symbols. If you
were brought up on a farm or near a farming community
you will recall that the new chickens and other farm animals were usually hatched or born in early spring. The
lamb is also a symbol of Christ, the Lamb of God.

We recognize the lily as the Easter flower. Lilies
bursting forth from the earth in the spring are a symbol
of new life and the resurrection of Christ. I like to think
that their distinct sweet smell, sometimes overwhelming
and lingering, keeps us more aware of that resurrection.
In fact all the early sprouting and blooming flowers are
the reminder of that resurrection and new life. A lighted
candle will always remind us that Christ is the Light of
the World and we display and wear a cross as the tangible
reminder of Jesus victory over death.

Some foods are symbols or reminders of Easter
too. Hot cross buns, a somewhat sweetbread, warm with a
cross of frosting on each bun, are served on Easter morning as a symbol of Easter and the risen Christ. Pretzels
can also be a symbol, those larger ones twisted in a shape
to represent arms crossed in prayer. I always thought that
wearing new hats and clothes was just a chance to get
new attire for spring and to dress your children up but
one source I found said that NEW clothes symbolized
new life offered through the death and resurrection
of Jesus. I still think Easter was just more of a good
reason for getting new clothes. Besides the kids
had outgrown all of last years warm weather things
and some got the older siblings outgrown togs.

My favorite Easter symbol is the butterfly. Its
whole life cycle symbolizes the life of Christ. The first
stage is a caterpillar Jesus life on Earth. The second is the cocoon stage, symbolizing the crucifixion and
burial of Jesus. The third and final stage is that beautiful
butterfly. The cocoon is opened and the butterfly emerges
is raised from the dead. To many of us a caterpillar is
a creepy, crawly and sometimes repulsive critter. Many
people felt that way about Jesus so the killed him (so they
thought). He was wrapped head to toe in grave clothes
and put in a tomb. But He didnt remain that way and
that cocoon (grave clothes)) fell away and he emerged in
all his glory and after a short stay with us flew away.
However, unlike the butterfly, Hell be back!

This year if you happen to have the opportunity
for a family Easter dinner or a time when there is an egg
hunt, think about, not only the egg, the chicken and bunnies, but what they and the other symbols mean. Those
egg hunts, time at church with the lilies, the candles, the
cross and perhaps the hot cross buns for breakfast, and
even new clothes could be a good time to tell the younger
ones about the Easter symbols.

HAPPY MEMORIES HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Iowa farm poll shows farmers

taking steps to improve soil health

Healthy soil can lead to better crop yields, reduce the need for chemical inputs and have positive
impacts on water quality. Farmers perspectives on soil
health is a focus of the 2015 Iowa Farm and Rural Life
Poll.

Interest in the topic of soil health has been on
the rise in Iowa and the Corn Belt region in recent years,
but little was previously known about farmers familiarity with the concept. The 2015 Iowa Farm and Rural
Life Poll was designed to gauge farmers beliefs about
potential benefits of soil health, their soil health knowledge and management capacity and their assessments of
landlords knowledge about soil health practices.

Research efforts to understand what makes soil
healthy are have increased in recent years, and conservation groups like the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service have made soil health a central part of
their programs for farmers, said J. Gordon Arbuckle Jr.,
associate professor of sociology and extension sociologist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
Understanding what farmers know and think about soil
health can help guide the development of research and
extension programs on the topic.

Farmers were presented a series of survey items
about the potential benefits of soil health, their knowledge of soil health and capacity to manage for improved
soil health, and the amount of attention the press and fel-

low farmers were paying to soil health. They were asked

to rate their level of agreement or disagreement with each
item on a five-point scale, ranging from strongly disagree
(1) to strongly agree (5).

Not surprisingly, most farmers viewed healthy
soils as beneficial; 93 percent agreed that healthy soil
can lead to increased crop yields, 77 percent agreed that
healthy soils can reduce vulnerability to drought conditions and 75 percent agreed that healthy soils can reduce
crop input needs.

Farmers also expressed some concerns about the
impacts of production practices on soil health. Eightyfour percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that
they were concerned about the impact of compaction on
soil health and 70 percent had concerns about the impact
of pesticides on soil health.

The survey also gauged farmers knowledge of
soil health and their confidence in their capacity to improve the health of the soils they farm. Most respondents
- 72 percent - indicated they had given more thought to
soil health in recent years, and 76 percent reported that
they had taken steps to improve the quality of their soil.
While about 70 percent felt that they have a good understanding of the concept of soil health, and two-thirds
agreed that they know how to manage for improved soil
health, only 54 percent indicated that they have an effec-

King Band Indoor Concert

Sunday, April 3...

The third and final concert for the 2016 indoor
season by the Karl L. King Municipal Band of Fort Dodge
will be held on Sunday afternoon, April 3, beginning at
3:30 p.m. in the Decker Auditorium on the campus of
Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge.

There is no admission charge, since these concerts are provided by the City of Fort Dodge for everyones enjoyment.

Conductor Jerrold P. Jimmerson has once again
planned an enjoyable program of band music. Dr. David
Klee serves as the Assistant Conductor of the band.

This April concert serves a two-fold purpose
each year. The first will be the presentation of the Karl L.
King scholarships.

Several talented students will audition during
the day, and the winners will be announced during the
afternoon concert.

Winners will be recognized with $500 scholarships to Iowa Central Community College or a $1,000
scholarship to any 4-year Iowa college or university.
Providing the funds for these awards are the King Band

Scholarship fund, along with Dr. Greg and Joan Olson in

memory of his parents and his wifes parents, and Peggy
and the late Tom Dowd.

All persons who audition will be invited to join
in playing a selection with the Band during the concert,
and the major scholarship recipient will perform their
award-winning solo.

The second feature of this concert coincides with
Iowa Central Community Colleges Focus series. This
year, the college has chosen the seven Central American
countries for its cultural emphasis, and the selections on
this program reflect that heritage in music.

Selections by the bands namesake, Karl L.
King, will include his march, The Huntress and his
Spanish march, Pan American, one of his overtures,
Fountain of Youth, along with one of his exciting circus galops, Sunshine.

Other march selections on the program include
a Spanish march El Conquistador by James Tarver and
The Pathfinder of Panama by John Philip Sousa.

In addition, a Latin American dance titled Latina is included, along with Victor Herberts popular
ragtime selection, Pan-Americana, on the program.

A contemporary selection titled Aguas
Whelm, written by Cory McBride, describes musically
a tragic event that occurred in 1541 in Central America,
and was written by McBride when he was only 16 years
old. Cory McBride graduated from Independence IA
High School, and the University of Northern Iowa, and
is currently the Director of Bands at Oelwein IA High
School.

The concert will conclude in the usual way with
the playing of our National Anthem, The Star-Spangled
Banner.

Webster Township, scenic hills and timberland

inhabited with much wildlife
Vegors cemetery, Indian burial ground...

Webster Township is bounded on the west by the
town of Lehigh, north by Washington Township, east by
Hamilton County and the south border is the meandering
Des Moines River. The whole township is approximately
20 square miles. The north and east portions are flat and
tillable, mostly Clarion-Webster soil, the west and south
are scenic hills and timberland inhabited by deer, fox,
squirrel, several species of wild birds and many varieties
of wild edibles.

Webster Township is the site of Vegors Cemetery
which was given to the county by the Vegors family in
1949. At that time there was a need for a place to bury Mrs.
Lott, the first white woman to die in the county. She died
from exposure after the Indians had raided the Lott cabin.
The Vegor family owned a scenic hilltop overlooking the
meeting place of the Boone and Des Moines rivers. On this
hilltop were also found 5 Indian mounds and here Mrs.
Lott was buried.

In 1960, the bones of eleven prehistoric people
were discovered by State Archaeologists in a digging near
here. They were classified as Middle Woodlands-- people
who lived between 500 BC and 500 AD. Their bones were
buried in the Vegors Cemetery with a headstone explaining the story. Government and Department of Interior had
a ceremony with an Air Force Military plane flying overhead. It is a scenic and historic site, peaceful and nostalgic. This writer wonders who financed the large spiraling
marker, as part of her family had died shortly after the raid.

Discovery of coal in the are brought in influx of
miners from states as far away as Pennsylvania, it was a
group of miners from this state who suggested that the two
villages of Vesper and Lackawanna unite under the name
of Lehigh and then incorporate. A brick factory was built
here in the early days to take advantage of the plentiful
supply of coal for heating the kilns and also the excellent
quality of the clay. Later the Lehigh Sewer pipe and Tile
company was constructed in 1907 and operated until recent years.

The firm was purchased in 1964 and was then
operated as the W. S. Dickey Manufacturing Company.
Principal products are clay sewer pipe and flue liners for
chimneys.

Standing well up the hill east of the Des Moines
River is a large brick house which has been a community
landmark since the turn of the century. It was owned by
the Steven Rhodes family. Mr. Rhodes was the director of
Blanden Gallery in Fort Dodge.

It was built by George Wellington Post who came
to Lehigh in 1872. He was born in 1845 in New York and
migrated to Lehigh. Construction of this elegant house was
begun in 1899 and was completed in 1901. The brick came
from the former Corey Brick and Tile Co. of Lehigh. Some
of the stone over the windows and doors was shipped out
from Pennsylvania. There were parquet floors and ornate
balustrades and much intricate woodwork. Despite all
these features the house is said to have cost only $4,000.00.
The sad part of this story is that George Post died September 17, 1900 at the age of 55 years and never did have
the pleasure of living in his Dream House. Emma Post
and her son Archie moved into the house in 1901. George
and Emma Posts tow great-grandsons, Richard and John
Swanson are married and are farming the original Post
farm located east of Lehigh.

Webster Township is historic with old history
but will also be important with the new. In 1969 the State
Conservation Commission started buying land to establish

a 1000 acre state park. The site is 5 miles directly east of

Lehigh. At the time of this writing no construction has
been started. It is proposed to dam Brushy Creek to make a
recreational lake for boating and swimming. The north part
is to be reserved for wild life and hunting. There will be
camper facilities, a swimming pool and a golf course. At
this time it is an improved park with a Ranger in residence.
Most of the residents of Webster Township are in farming and there are mixed emotions about the proposed State
Park. There is some enthusiasm about recreation seekers
coming into the are and the effect it will have on their
lives, land values, population and privacy.

In Webster Township is an old Indian burying
ground, which was taken over by the earliest pioneers and
it is now know as Vegors Cemetery.

Here is buried Benjamin Bell (1751-1853) a
Revolutionary War soldier who served under General
George Washington.

Also nearby is a Memorial shaft to the first pioneer woman to die in what is now the county of Webster.
The inscribed on the tombstone is Lott and the date is
1849. The shaft was dedicated in September 1911. The
dedicatory address was given by Ellsworth School Superintendent, Fred Runkle, who is probably responsible for
the date of 1849. In his speech he acknowledged that many
old-timers insisted that the historic Indian raid occurred in
1846. He, however, accepted the date of a so-called authority as 1849. The shaft was unveiled by Rebecca McQuire, a younger sister of Mrs. Jemina McQuire Lott, the
second wife of Henry Lott.

Mrs. Huntington Lott died of exposure following
the Indian raid by Chief, Two-Fingers Sidominadota, a
Sisseton Sioux. The date of this raid being a point of
contention among historians for over a century. Now my
research: In retreat from the raiders a Lott son, 12 year
old Milton died trying to reach the settlement in Boone
County. The date on his grave N. W. of Boone being December of 1846. His burial was described by an able local
historian, C. S. Lucas, who was present when the grave
was marked along with some of the old pioneers who had
assisted in the burial

tive soil health management plan.

Iowa farmers are paying more attention to soil
health, and report that they are taking steps to improve
it, Arbuckle said. That said, most farmers would like to
learn more about how to manage for soil health, and there
was a lot of uncertainty about the effectiveness of current
management. I think theres a demand for more researchbased information on soil health.

Most respondents indicated that they have noticed more discussion of soil health in the farm press,
with 80 percent noticing a spike in information on the
topic. Despite this jump in attention to the subject in the
press, only 46 percent of farmers noticed more discussion
among fellow farmers.

Because more than half of Iowa farmland
is rented, the survey also asked farmers to assess their
landlords awareness and knowledge of soil health. The
reviews were mixed, with 28 percent agreeing that landlords know what farming practices can improve soil
health while 27 percent disagreed. Twenty-two percent
of respondents agreed that landlords have a good understanding of soil health while 29 percent disagreed.

Almost half of farmers selected uncertain
when asked whether their landlords know about the concept of soil health and how to improve it, said Arbuckle.
Those results suggest that a lot of farmers havent talked
about soil health with their landlords.

The Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll has been in
existence since 1982, surveying Iowa farmers on issues
of importance to agricultural stakeholders. It is the longest-running survey of its kind in the nation.

Severe Weather
Awareness Week
March 20-26...

No one wants to think about a disaster, but
floods and tornadoes are two of Iowas most common
hazards.

Heavy rains, flooding, tornadoes, ice storms,
blizzards and heavy snow hazardous storms have
caused most of Iowas 38 Presidential Disaster Declarations since 1990.

Taking some simple precautions before the
flood and tornado season starts is the best way to protect
yourself and your loved ones, says Adam Broughton,
DNRs disaster response coordinator.

March 20 to 26 is Severe Weather Awareness
Week a good opportunity to check your supply kit and
review your communications plan.

Broughton suggests putting together a supply kit
with three days of food and water, enough to provide for
you until emergency responders can reach you.

Other essentials include batteries, a solarpowered or hand-cranked charger for batteries and cell
phones, a light source, medicine, doctors numbers, prescription lists, insurance cards and supplies for pets. Its
good to have supply kits for home, work and on the road.

Your communication plan ensures friends and
family stay in touch. Review where to meet during an
emergency and who to notify. Update emergency contacts on cell phones, including listing someone out-oftown as a central contact.

If there is an emergency, use texts and short
calls to avoid tying up phone lines needed by emergency
responders.

Get organized by storing important documents
in the Cloud or on a secure flash drive. Include insurance,
identification and banking information. Place important
print documents in a fire and waterproof safe.

Find more tips on the DNRs disaster web page,
www.iowadnr.gov/disaster, Broughton says. Both the
Federal Emergency Management Agency and Iowas Department of Homeland Security have great checklists for
communication plans and supply kits, too.

Coupling passes unanimously in the Senate

The coupling bill was passed out of the Senate
50-0 on Tuesday after an agreement was announced last
week between House and Senate leaders.

I want to thank you for your continuous support,
and for calling other senators and urging them to couple.
It was because of you we were able to bring the bill to the
floor for debate.

The passage of this bill will save $97 million
dollars for our small businesses, rural communities and
teachers. This is money Iowans can put into their pockets
and reinvest in our state and community.
Renewable Chemical Tax Credit Program

This week the Senate also passed a bill regarding a renewable chemical tax credit program, SF 2300.
The tax credit is 5 cents per pound of renewable chemicals produced in the state and allows new businesses to
get up to $1 million in tax credits. Established businesses
that have been in the state more than five years can get up
to $500k in tax credits. Credits are refundable and nontransferrable and companies can only apply and receive
these credits five times. Maximum credits available for
this program is $10 million.

Iowa currently ranks first in corn production,
second in soybean production, second in biodiesel production, and has the second largest supply of biomass at
14.4 million dry tons per year. We lead the nation in ethanol production with 43 facilities.

Other agricultural states in the Midwest are going to be competing for these biochemical companies to
set up shop in their own states. This program could solidify Iowas position as the leading biochemical producing
state in the country.
The Suppressor Bill comes to the Floor

Another bill we saw come to the floor this week
was a new suppressor bill legalizing firearm suppressors
in Iowa. Anyone wanting to purchase a suppressor would
have to comply with federal law, which requires a person
to be a resident of the U.S., legally eligible to purchase a
firearm, pass a background check by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATFE), pay a
onetime $200 transfer tax per suppressor, live in a state
that authorizes suppressors, and be at least 21.

The bill would remove suppressors from the list
of offensive weapons and establishes a process for purchase of a suppressor including application to the chief
law enforcement officer where the person resides. The
officer has 30 days to issue certification if the applicant
meets all the above conditions.

The bill in its current state creates a class D
felony for possession of a suppressor in Iowa in violation
of federal law and would be effective upon enactment.
Turtle harvesting bill passes Senate

HF 2357, a bill creating a season for turtle harvesting, came to the floor on Tuesday. The legislation
requires the Natural Resources Commission to adopt a
season and bag limits for commercial harvesters, as well
as conduct a study on turtle populations.

Turtles reproduce at a very limited level so year
round harvests do have the potential to threaten population numbers. Iowa is one of 10 states without limits on
turtle harvesting, while all states in the Midwest minus
Missouri prohibit or limit turtle harvesting. Nearby states
have researched population numbers and have concluded
that overharvesting is a problem. Currently, the DNR reports harvesting numbers by commercial harvesters have
increased from 30,000 pounds in 1987 to 238,000 pounds
in 2013 mostly as the market in the Far East continues to
grow.
The bill passed the Senate 47-2.

SF 2142 and HF 2328, allowing Iowans who

growth in FY 2017. That figure was lowered to 1.5%

growth. The RECs calculations did include the impact of
the federal tax extenders bill which is projected to raise
revenue by $76.4 million. The net effect of these changes
is the Revenue Estimating Conference is a forecast of
$7.3574 billion in General Fund revenue for FY 2017,
$30 million higher than Decembers figure.

The new FY 2017 projection is not the final
number that will be used by the Legislature, as the legislative agreement on coupling with federal tax changes for
tax year 2015 and consumables was not included. Since
the Governor has not yet acted on House File 2433, the
fiscal impact of the bill was not included in the estimates.
This would increase the FY 2017 number by approximately $23 million.

The Revenue Estimating Conference also made
an initial projection for FY 2018. There was agreement
on the percentage rate of growth between LSA and the
Department of Management. The REC set growth at
4.1 percent for FY 2018, projecting state revenue to be
$7.6591 billion. This would amount to a projected increase of $301.7 million.

As always, thank you for your support and allowing me to represent you in the Iowa House. Please
contact me with any concerns or issues at rob.bacon@

State Senate Candidate

Keith Puntenney Official
Files Nomination papers...

Keith Puntenney visited the Secretary of States
office March 17 to file nomination paperwork for his run
for State Senate in the 24th district, encompassing Boone,
Hamilton, and Greene counties, as well as parts of Story
and Webster counties.

I am happy to submit my paperwork and put
my name officially on the ballot for this November.

The work of this campaign is just beginning, and
I look forward to getting the chance to talk about how the
leadership skills I have gained in my military and civilian
life, as well as my ideas for the future of our state, can
help me be a State Senator who listens to, and works for,
his constituents.

Iowas economy is experiencing slow, but stable
growth according to the three member panel charged with
forecasting Iowas General Fund revenues. The Revenue Estimating Conference held their spring meeting
on Wednesday to review and revise their projections for
state revenue in FY 2016 and FY 2017, and set a preliminary estimate for FY 2018.

All three members of the committee noted that
Iowas fiscal situation is better than other states who are
already in recession or on the verge of falling into recession. The states economy has experienced slow growth
despite the impact of a falling farm economy. Sluggish
export markets and the strength of the dollar are having a
significant impact on the rural economy.

While ag-related income has fallen, growth in
the states financial services and insurance industry has
been able to offset the decline. The states housing market
is also experiencing growth, which is helping to keep the
economy in positive territory. Wage and salary figures
for Iowa workers are also growing, helping to maintain
growth in state tax collections while other components
are lagging behind.

For FY 2016, the panel decided to keep the revenue estimate at the same level as they had forecast in
December - $7.0456 billion.

For FY 2017, the panel decided to lower their
forecast for state sales tax collections. In December, they
had predicted that this category would experience 2.7%
