Hannah Peterson,
Gowrie, one of
five to represent
our state
In National 4-H Conference...

Southeast Valley High School presents John
Carianis Almost, Maine. The performance is on April
15 and 16 at 7 p.m. at the high school in Gowrie.

Almost Maine is a series of nine amiably absurdest vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism.

Forced price reduction

to Worsen USPS
Financial Condition
By $2 Billion per year...

Absent Congressional or court action to extend
or make permanent an existing exigent surcharge for
mailing products and services including the Forever
stamp -- the Postal Service was required to reduce certain prices on Sunday, April 10, 2016.

This mandatory action will worsen the Postal
Services financial condition by reducing revenue and
increasing its net losses by approximately $2 billion per
year.

The exigent surcharge granted to the Postal
Service last year only partially alleviated our extreme
multi-year revenue declines resulting from the Great Recession, which exceeded $7 billion in 2009 alone, said
Postmaster General and CEO Megan J. Brennan.

Removing the surcharge and reducing our
prices is an irrational outcome considering the Postal
Services precarious financial condition.

An order from the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) requires the 4.3 percent exigent surcharge
to be reversed after the Postal Service has collected surcharges totaling $4.6 billion.

As outlined in a notice filed with the PRC today, that amount is expected to be reached by April 10th.

Postal Service prices for Mailing Services are
capped by law at the rate of inflation as measured by the
Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U).

This production is witty, romantic, unsentimental. A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings (most but not all of them happy).

Five 4-H youth have been selected to represent Iowa at the National 4-H Conference April 9-14 in
Washington, D.C.

Webster County 4-Her Hannah Peterson, 17, is
the daughter of Mark and Kim Peterson.

A nine-year 4-H member, she has participated
in child development, citizenship, food and nutrition,
home improvement and leadership projects.

She has served as secretary, historian and photographer of
her 4-H club.

She also has served on
her county 4-H council and on the
State 4-H Council.

The SV Jazz Band competed at the Iowa Jazz Championships on Tuesday, April 5.

JV Jazz Band placed sixth

at Iowa Jazz Championship
Tuesday, April 5. . . .

The SV Jazz Band competed at the Iowa Jazz
Championships on Tuesday, April 5. The band played its
best yet and finished in 6th place in the state! Way to go
Jag Jazz!

Outstanding Soloists at the championships were
Hannah Peterson - soprano sax, Jack Mumper - guitar,
Jack Mumper - drums!

However, the law does allow for exigent pricing
(price increases beyond the CPI-U cap) due to extraordinary or exceptional circumstances.

That was the case when the Postal Service
sought and ultimately received approval for the current
exigent pricing, citing the severe effects of the Great Recession on Postal Service mail volume.

However, the PRC did not accept the views of
the Postal Service concerning the extent of the harm resulting from the Great Recession, and the PRC strictly
limited the period of time that the Postal Service could
continue to collect the exigent surcharge.
While the Postal Service has experienced rapid growth in
package volume over the past few years, it is not nearly
enough to offset the decline in revenues from MarketDominant products, especially First-Class Mail.

Brennan added that the Postal Services current

College Funding
Forcaster Tool
Helps families project costs...

Families preparing for college now have access
to a unique, new online tool that provides an estimated
total cost of a four-year undergraduate degree, based on
students freshmen year award packets.

Developed by Iowa Student Loan, the College
Funding Forecaster helps students calculate estimated
costs, funding gaps and potential student debt.

The estimated total cost of college provided in
the tool is based on information found in an award packet,
which typically only provides financial aid information
for one school year, outside scholarships and grants, and
family contributions.

Created to help students consider how costs, aid
and their own contributions will change over the course
of their college career, the tool provides users with informational tips to reduce costs and potential debt based on
personal circumstances.

Most people wouldnt order a four-course meal
only knowing the price of the appetizer, yet thats how
many families treat the process of financing college,
said Steve McCullough, president and CEO of Iowa Student Loan.

The College Funding Forecaster uses information found in the financial aid award packet provided
annually by colleges, and other financial information
unique to the student to calculate an estimated college
cost for four years.

Using results generated by the tool, families
have the opportunity to discuss funding options and create a plan for financing the entire degree process.

The College Funding Forecaster is part of a suite
of smart borrowing tools offered by Iowa Student Loan
on its website, www.IowaStudentLoan.org.

Other tools include Student Loan Game PlanSM
and ROCI Reality Check and Tool. Since 2010, Student
Loan Game Plan has been helping students understand
the effects of borrowing too much for college. ROCI
Reality Check provides information about the return on
college investment, or ROCI, students can expect from
degrees in specific majors.

Student Loan Game Plan and ROCI Reality Check are required aspects of all Iowa Student Loan
scholarship and giveaway program registrations.

Student Loan Game Plan is also a required component of any Iowa Student Loan private student loan application. During the past three years, use of Student Loan
Game Plan within loan applications has helped more than
1,500 applicants reduce their intended loan amount by
approximately $5 million.

Our mission is to provide students and families
with the resources necessary to succeed in postsecondary education, said McCullough. By developing these
smart borrowing tools that encourage students to take a
broader view of their college plans, explore their financing options and seek additional methods for funding their
education, such as working part-time, we hope they can
become less reliant on student loans. If student loans are
necessary, these tools will have provided ways for the
student to graduate with a manageable amount of student
debt.

your award letter ready and visit www.IowaStudentLoan.

What God Wants Us to Do

Do we ever wonder about what God wants us

to do? Sunday will be coming up in a few days, so I
feel sure He wants us to go to church and worship Him.
Maybe we should take time to sit down and make a list of
what we think God wants us to do in the next few days.
Heres what my list might look like God wants me
to worship Him, to thank Him, to love Him, to read His
Word each day, and to tell others about Him. These are
just a few of the things I believe He wants me to do. God
helps us in so many ways. Maybe we should make a list
for those things too. I know our blessings are endless and
He never stops loving us. We need to remember to do
things God wants us to do as His children.

Prayer: Lord, we sometimes take You for
granted and forget to do things for You. It is only simple
things You want us to do nudge us when we forget. In
Jesus Holy Name, Amen

USPS price reduction...

continued from front page...
pricing system, where products that generate roughly 76
percent of its revenues fall under the statutory price cap,
is fundamentally unsuited to the Postal Services current
business environment in which First-Class Mail volume
continues to decline and the network costs required to
provide universal service continue to rise.

According to Brennan, our current pricing regime is unworkable and should be replaced with a system
that provides greater pricing flexibility and better reflects
the economic challenges facing the Postal Service.

The surcharge removal means that First-Class
Mail prices will be adjusted. Commercial prices will also
decrease. A complete listing of the new prices, effective
April 10, is available at www.usps.com.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for
operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage,
products and services to fund its operations.

Webster County Sheriffs Office taking

back unwanted prescription drugs
Friday, April 29 Drop off at Family Pharmacy, Dayton...

On April 29 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. the Webster
County Sheriffs Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its 11th opportunity in six years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding
their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused,
and unwanted prescription drugs.

Bring your pills for disposal to Family Pharmacy at 21 S Main S. (The DEA cannot accept liquids
or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service is
free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Family Pharmacy in Dayton will also be taking
back unwanted prescription drugs.

Last September, Americans turned in 350 tons
(over 702,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at more than
5,000 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,800
of its state and local law enforcement partners.
When those results are combined with what was collected
in its 10 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners
have taken in over 5.5 million poundsmore than 2,750
tonsof pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety
and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home

cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and

abuse.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are
alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.

Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that
their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines
flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the
trashboth pose potential safety and health hazards.

For more information about the disposal of
prescription drugs or about the April 30 Take Back Day
event, go to the DEA Diversion website or Webster
County Sheriffs Office at 515-573-1410.

Spring has sprung; the grass has riz; Wonder
where the flowers iz! Thats an old old saying. Easter
Sunday, a bit cooler than we would have liked, has come
and gone. I have yet to see one of my springtime omens,
my little yellow dandelion but thats probably because
they have finally sprayed enough around my building to
ward off their appearing under my nose or foot this year.
But about a week and a half before Easter I came out
of the church and on the south side there it was, the first
small daffodil of the year poking its bit of greenery and
little yellow head about 8 inches above the ground. It was
a chilly, windy, misty day and it was bobbing around as
if to say, Im here, and I am going to stay! Within a
few days a half a dozen or so others joined it. Spring was
coming!

I tried to remember past years. I had to remind
myself that this year Easter Sunday was quite early so we
shouldnt compare to other years. I do remember one year
when my cousins family was hosting a family dinner. It
was a dreary, chilly, breezy, wet day but we all made it.
My cousin and her family from Marshalltown attended
and here she came in her high heels, trying to dodge the
elements, mud and puddles to gain access to that farm
house. Somehow she made it, all the time holding on to
her ultra-wide brimmed white straw hat. But that was her.
We all had a good time and over ate as usual and over
talked and over laughed, sharing things of each of our
families as we always did.

Another year it was so nice and it had been a
more laid back day than usual. Probably my aunt and
uncle, cousins family and my mom, dad and I had a noon
repast and then retired home early for some rest. It was a
beautiful, warm day and I walked over to my friend, Virginias home later in the afternoon. Near supper time her
Mom announced it would be a good time for a little picnic. So she packed up the simple Sunday supper planned

This Week in the Senate

Most of the action in the chamber this week was
on Wednesday when we debated over 20 bills. We also
passed Senate Resolution 109, commemorating April 6,
2016, as the 25th anniversary of the conclusion of Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Work in the Legislature
this week was primarily behind the scenes as budget compromises were made. As we move appropriations bills in
the coming days, its important to highlight the need for
fiscal responsibility and sustainable budgeting practices.
The taxpayers hard-earned money must be spent carefully and sensibly.
Information for Veterans

The Senate passed unanimously a bill Wednesday to help our states veterans find jobs and give them
the resources they need to be successful once they come
home.

Veterans are currently entitled to preference
over others in hiring for many public sector jobs. This
bill, HF 2415, creates a veterans preference clearinghouse
established at Workforce Development for the purpose of
providing information regarding the preference. The department is to work with the Attorney General regarding
information on enforcement of the preference. The De-

and we all went up on the hill east of Boxholm, Starks

place east of Glenns (then Johns) place. We spread a
blanket and laid out the repast and enjoyed it as the sun
sent its welcome rays down on us.

In my day, as we oldsters say, farm planting
usually didnt start until well into April. Hopefully some
of the fall plowing had been done and spring final readying had been completed. The corn planters had been
checked out to make sure they would operate properly
and there were a couple teams of horses around to be
available to pull the load. Thus on the warmer days
of spring came the ker-chunk, ker-chunk and the acres
piled up. Now to await the first little sprouts and soon
the first cultivating. These days many acres are planted
much quicker and earlier. But when that routine began
for us we knew that spring had sprung and summer was
on its way.

Thinking of spring reminds me of my early
Des Moines years. I worked for the YMCA for a couple
years and had the privilege of attending several sessions of co-ed camps for young adults up at the Y Camp
near Boone. Those were fun times. Wed have square
dances, campfires, singing, story telling, etc. One young
man, whose name escapes me now, was quite a story
teller, ad-libber, song leader etc. I do recall a song he
taught us and have sung it to my children and others over
the years. It is to the tune of Springtime in the Rockies.
When its Springtime in Alaska and its ninety-nine below; When the Eskimo go barefoot oer the ever drifting
snow; When the polar bears get sunburned and begin to
lose their hair; When its Springtime in Alaska, then Ill
change my underwear.

What are your spring memories and hopes? Its
here; just taking its own Iowa time to fully show its face.
HAPPY SPRING

partment, the Attorney General, and The Department of

Veterans Affairs are all to provide information regarding
the preference on their websites.

This would give veterans a central place to get

we can support our veterans.
Bill on Treating Overdose Victims signed

At the beginning of March, the Senate passed
Senate File 2218, an Act relating to the possession and
administration of emergency drugs by first responders
and other persons in a position to assist for purposes of
treating drug overdose victims and including contingent
implementation provisions. This bill passed both the
Iowa Senate 48-0 on March 8, 2016 and the Iowa House
93-2 on March 23.

The bill allows family members or friends to
have access to a prescription drug which can be administered to someone they know who has overdosed on
heroin or another opioid.

This is a good bill Im happy to have supported
in the Senate. Im glad to see the Governor sign this bill
to help victims and their loved ones.
Education agreement signed by Governor

Two weeks ago, the Senate took up Senate File
174 and Senate File 175, setting supplemental state aid
for this year after an agreement was decided on between
the House and Senate.

On Wednesday, Governor Branstad signed the
bills putting the final touch on the education compromise
for FY17.

This agreement consisted of an increase of over
$150 million for schools, including over $50 million for
the Teacher Leadership and Compensation Program.
Dedicating over half our budget to education is a clear
sign education is a priority for the Iowa Legislature.
HF 2399

This week the Senate voted on House File 2399,
a bill to protect victims of domestic violence. The bill
expands the definition of stalking to include by electronic
means and includes conduct that would make a person
feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or threatened of
bodily injury or death. Current law only requires a person
to fear injury or death.

The bill also makes an unauthorized placing of
a GPS, meaning a device with the intent to intimidate,
annoy or alarm another person, a serious misdemeanor.
The bill additionally:

Adds a risk assessment to the presentence investigation upon a conviction of domestic abuse assault
or harassment

Requires a presentence investigation include a

Dayton Review

This is your life. . .

Gordon E. Plahn owned and opterated
Gambles Hardware Store, Lehigh
Drafted in 1944 shortly after 18 birthday. . .
By Alice Johnson

The bold headlines of a newspaper article written a few years ago claimed that Hardworking, No-nonsense people make up Lehigh. One such person was resident Gordon E. Plahn, nicknamed 'Gordie', and to others
he was known as 'Duke'. He epitomized that concept and
lived a life that was full and productive. Gordon was an
ambitious man and dabbled at various projects during his
life.

Gordon was born on November 28, 1926 in
Dayton, the son of Oscar and Jane (Anderson) Plahn.
He and his two siblings, brother Harold and sister Esther, attended the Dayton Community School during their
childhood years. He completed school only through the
seventh grade. He stated that he learned a lot through the
'school of hard knocks'.

Gordon E. Plahn

Gordon had many funny stories about his teenage years. One such memory was the time he got snakes
from Lake Ole in Dayton and let them loose in the Dayton movie theater. He was full of life and was known for
his mischieviousness.

Gordon was drafted into the Army in late 1944
shortly after his 18th birthday. After extensive advanced
jungle training, his unit was sent to the Philippian Islands,
except him and a few others. Gordon and a few of his
fellow soldiers were sent to California and then home on
furlough for a month. He was later called to board a ship
with 3,000 other soldiers to France.

Unfortunately they were hit by a ferocious storm
in the North Atlantic resulting in sea sickness by everyone on the ship. While Plahn was in Germany, he ran a
huge wrecker and policed the autobahn cleaning up and
hauling guns and tanks in Dachan Concentration Camp
that the Germans had confiscated. He witnessed the results of the Holocaust first handedly and although he was
only 19 years old at the time, he states that he could 'readily cope with it'.

Plahn was discharged two years after he was
drafted and he said he wouldn't trade the experience for
a million dollars but he also wouldn't want to do it again.
Plahn states that the images in Germany never bothered
him. He remembers them but they do not haunt him.

After being honorably discharged in 1946, he
traveled with a carnival for three years. In 1949 he married Shirley Ann Collins and lived in Ft. Dodge for a time.
To this union two sons and one daughter were born. He
worked as a truck driver for 15 years and later he worked
as a mechanic and service manager for Tom Kelly Ford
for 14 years.

In April 1972, he married Nadeane Long and
lived in Dayton until moving to Lehigh in 1974 where
they owned and operated Gambles Hardware Store until
they retired in 1989.

Gordon loved raising animals. He raised chinchillas, birds, goats, cats, guinea pigs and wild turkeys.
He also raised many different breeds of dogs. He and
Nadeane owned the Morning Glory Kennel outside of
Dayton.

He and Nadeane loved to dance the polka and
were on tv once performing their favorite dance. Gordon
also loved to go hunting, fishing, and woodworking. He
was very inventive and came up with many devices to
help him in life. He helped his grandson Kirk, build a
seed-saver bird feeder. He also made his own box turkey
calls.

He loved to shoot
guns and owned many
types including black pow-

S
S

der and packed his own loads. He enjoyed dressing up

in buckskins and participating in black powder reenactments.

Gordon was always active in his community. He
was a member of the Lehigh Christian Church and was
the Mayor of Lehigh for four years. During his reign he
purchased the yellowish green fire truck for Lehigh. The
salesman told him it was the color for future trucks since
it was more visible and there were already many red vehicles on the road. It was unique like Gordon.

Thirty years later a new fire truck was purchased
when Gordon's grandson Kirk was the Lehigh Fire Chief.
He and Nadeane also selected the new street lights on
Main Street.

He was active on the River Days committee,
member of the Lions Club for 30 years, member of the
Lehigh Museum and also the now defunct Lehigh Area
Development Group (LAD, for short).

Gordon truly exemplified the importance of
the value of community service and volunteering. It was
standing room only when his funeral service was held
January 4, 2014. He had resided at the Stratford Nursing
and Rehab Center since July 2011 and passed away on

Industry in Dayton

"Believe it or not" in its history

We are borrowing this by line from Ripley to
acquaint the younger generations with things that used to
be, and bring back memories to the oldsters.

On Sundays and holidays Oak Park was the center of attraction for the community. On what is now the
golf course, they had ball games and horse races and pacing races.

Teams from both neighboring and distant towns
played the Dayton teams. There was a large grandstand,
with a roof over it, to accommodate the fans, which was
nearly always filled to capacity.

The 4th of July celebrations were also held in
Oak Park and people came from far and near in their
spring wagons, and surries. There was plenty of food,
which each family bringing picnic dinners and eating
with their neighbors. There was always a special speaker
for the day.

Out of town bands came and they along with
Daytons band gave concerts. The children enjoyed peanuts, crackerjacks and firecrackers, which were legal at
that time.

Before consolidation, their school plays, programs and declam contests were held above the Urelius
building. Then known as Johnsons Hall. Movies were
also held there at one time, and wrestling matches appeared there too.

While talking on the subject of schools, the boys
did not wear jeans to school, as they were considered
work clothes.

After consolidation, the town fellows got the
idea of wearing jeans to school which did not set well
with the faculty and they were dismissed for the day.

Summer Chautauqua was quite an event in Dayton. These were held in a large tent put up on the S. W.
corner of the grade school lawn. Here lectures and entertainment were given afternoons and evenings.

It is hard to imagine the main street of town hub
deep in mud, during the rainy season and hitching posts
in front of the stores. A large watering trough was located
in the south part of the street for water the horses.

There were three livery stables in Dayton and
frequently the horses would bread loose and go thunder-

ing down main street, scattering the towns people.

It was quite an ordeal for the farmers to get his
livestock ready to be shipped to market. The stock was
herded to town (both hogs and cattle), by men on horseback.

The towns people always dreaded this movement, as the stock would trample gardens and lawns. The
stockyards were located near the C. and NW Railroad.

The first sidewalks in town were made of lumber. Some were laid lengthways, and others built up to
give better protection from the mud.

Some sidewalks were made of brick, laid in different patters some of which are still in use today.

One fellow that used the walks, both morning
and evening, was the town Marshall. It was his job to
light and extinguish the gas lamps on the corners.

There was a time when the Dayton grocers had
no fresh vegetables in their stores. Vegetable Miller.
supplied those who didnt have their own gardens. with
fresh vegetables.

He would come with his spring wagon, loaded
with supplies, from his garden. Two or three times a
week.

For his regular customers he would ring his bell,
and the housewives could go out and select from his wide
variety.

The few groceries that used to be delivered in
the earlier days, were pushed around in 2-wheeled cars
by the grocer himself.

Some merchants had their own ice houses, but
the main ice house, that supplied the residential district
was located on the south side of Lake Ole.

Ice was cut in the winter and stored for summer
use. Imagine not being able to get a cold drink of water
without going to a well and having to pump two or three
pails of water before drinking.

The ice from the lake was used in ice boxes to
keep foods cold, but could not be used for drinking purposes. Later, ice was manufactured which could be put in
drinks.

Surviving Gordon were two sons, one daughter,
three step daughters, Sonya Kelly, Carolyn Baker and
Deloris Nelson, 21 grandchildren and many great grandchildren.

Indeed, the headline Hardworking, no-nonsense people make up Lehigh proves to be true because
of the exemplary life of Gordon E. Plahn. Gordon had
two philosophies in life: 1) There is no such thing as a
stranger, only a friend you haven't met yet and 2) You
are no better than anyone else, but you are no worse than
them either. Indeed this is certainly the legacy that Gordon has left us to all who knew him.

Iowa Soybean Association

launches Soy Scholars
program
High School students
encouraged to apply...

High school students considering an ag-related
career are encouraged to participate in the Iowa Soybean
Association (ISA) Soy Scholars program launching this
month at the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference in Ames,
April 18-19.

Four students will be selected to participate in
the three-session career emersion, field experience and
job shadow program.

During the sessions, students will work directly
with a mentor in their field of interest to gain hands-on
experience, ask questions and make connections.

ISA is looking to engage with young leaders
and provide opportunities for them to learn more about
the soy value chain, said Wayne Fredericks, ISA president and farmer from Osage.

The key word here is opportunities. As I look
back on my career, it was the opportunities provided and
consequently taken that made all the difference to me.

Soy Scholars, which allows students to explore
career paths before they graduate high school or declare a
college major, is offered with the support of Latham HiTech Seeds.

Company vice-presient Shannon Latham, who
graduated from Iowa State University after double-majoring in agricultural journalism and public service and
administration in agriculture, said shes excited to help
showcase the wide-array of ag-related careers available.

Soy Scholars is an opportunity for students to
get real-world experience and gain a competitive edge
before even going off to college, said Latham.

Theyll gain insights about an industry that
arent readily available online or in a textbook. And just
as importantly, these students will meet some of our
states top agricultural leaders who farm or work in agribusiness.

One out of every five Iowans work in an agriculture- related job, according to a 2014 study. Iowas
agriculture industry contributes one out of every three
dollars in Iowas economy, or 33 percent of the total state
economy. This sizable contribution offers more than a
few opportunities for Iowa youth.

For more information or to apply, visit the ISA
booth at the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference or go to
www.iasoybeans.com/SoyScholars. Applications are due
May 3.

The Iowa Soybean Association (www.iasoybeans.com) develops policies and programs that help
Iowas more than 36,000 soybean farmers expand profit
opportunities while promoting environmentally sensitive
production using the soybean checkoff and other resources.

One day of purple and an official month of recognition are simple ways to show support for Iowas
military children and families whose sacrifices continue
year-round, say human sciences specialists with Iowa
State University Extension and Outreach.

Iowans can join people throughout the country
who will be wearing purple on Friday, April 15. Called
Purple Up Day, its part of the Month of the Military
Child, an annual invitation to show appreciation for military children and recognize their strengths and commitment.

The color purple is used because it symbolizes
all branches of the military. It is the combination of Army
green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red and
Navy blue.

Joy Rouse, along with Kim Brantner and David
Brown, specialize in family life issues. The three ISU
Extension and Outreach specialists work with Iowa Joining Community Forces to provide resources for military
families.

Military families in Iowa dont have the same
support system that many other military families have,
Rouse said. They arent living on a military base. In
fact, they often may live far away from the duty station or
National Guard armory where their family members are
serving.

Children in military families experience big
changes in their lives, Brantner said. A parent can be out
of reach for long periods of time, and when he or she returns, both parent and child must readjust. For example,
a parent may come home with an injury that may or may
not be visible. The parent may look or act differently than
the child remembers.

In addition, military families may have to move
often, leaving familiar places for a new home. Children
of single parents may have to adjust to a new primary
caregiver who lives in a different area, Brown noted.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach
has resources for military families available online atwww.extension.iastate.edu/humansciences/content/military-families.

We also provide access to publications with
ideas individuals and organizations can use to support
members of the military, veterans and their families in
their communities, Rouse said. Each issue provides
evidence-based guidance on how a particular group can
help, with short, practical suggestions and links to additional resources.

For more information, contact Joy Rouse,
jmrouse@iastate.edu, Kim Brantner, brantner@iastate.

Dayton Review

Group remains opposed

to Bakken pipeline

The Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) has granted
a permit which would allow Dakota Access to build a
347-mile crude oil pipeline that would slice through the
middle of Iowa; however, the Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition (BPRC) and its 28 statewide member
organizations remain committed to ensuring the Bakken
Pipeline is never built.

Jonas Magram of Fairfield, Iowas No Bakken
Here, has expressed concern regarding the efficacy of the
IUB permitting process:

From the first day of its public hearing in November, through its ongoing deliberations, the Board has
demonstrated how woefully unprepared and unqualified

it is to assess a project of this magnitude, Magram says.

Even to consider granting a private Texas oil company
the right to force Iowa landowners to give up their property rights is a slap in the face to all Iowans who treasure
our rights as citizens.

Echoing this view is Mark Edwards, of Boone,
who attended all of the IUB public deliberations. During
their several days of public deliberations, Board members Huser, Jacobs, and Wagner have spent very little
time actually deliberating the realities of an oil pipeline
carrying up to 26 million gallons --- of toxic crude oil
daily through Iowa. The Board has not required even a
basic environmental and cultural impact statement, and

was fully content to make its ruling without this critical

information.

According to the IUB, over 250 landowners,
many of whom are farmers, have refused to enter into voluntary easements. Now that the IUB has granted Dakota
Access the power of eminent domain, Iowa law grants
those landowners the right to challenge the companys
authority in court. This is exactly the kind of private development project the Iowa Legislature had in mind when
it placed severe restrictions on the taking of farmland by
eminent domain.

Meanwhile, the stock of Dakota Access parent
company, Energy Transfer Partners, continues to plummet as oil supplies outstrip demand, raising the specter
that Dakota Access itself may become insolvent and unable to cover damages related to the pipelines construction and operation of its pipeline, damages many feel are
inevitable. In granting the permit to Dakota Access, the
IUB has failed to acknowledge evidence presented to
them by the intervenors objecting to the project -- including evidence detailing a myriad of economic, environmental, and community risk.

Angie Carter, of the Women, Food and Agriculture Network, sums up the oppositions position this
way: We will not allow this crude oil pipeline through
our farmlands. We will not allow our communities water
supplies to be put at risk. We will not give in to a bullying
pipeline company. We will continue to stand with Iowa
landowners to protect their rights and the well-being of
all Iowans.

The Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition is a
statewide coalition of organizations representing landowners, community members, non-profits, and interest groups united to stop the construction of the Bakken
Pipeline.

Iowa Utilities approve

construction permit for
Dakota Access Pipeline

Mike Ralston, President of the Iowa Association of

Business and Industry, commended the IUB on their announcement:

On behalf of the Iowa Association of Business
and Industry (ABI), I commend the Iowa Utilities Board
(IUB) for approving construction of the Dakota Access
Pipeline through our state. ABI, which has been a unified voice for business in Iowa since 1903, recognizes
the value this project brings to our region in terms of new
jobs, increased tax revenue, economic growth and affordable fuel to power local manufacturing, agricultural and
other fuel-reliant businesses.

The sooner construction of the pipeline proceeds, the sooner Iowa businesses and employees will
begin to reap the economic benefits of the project.

Dwight Baldwin, President of the Iowa State
Grange, applauded the approval the approval:

The Iowa State Grange applauds the Iowa Utilities Board approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Dakota Access represents an opportunity for Iowa to benefit
from American energy that will help lower farmers costs
throughout our state.

We are pleased this project will be constructed
in a manner that puts agricultural interests at the forefront
of construction plans and will respect the integrity of our
land.

Dawn Carlson, President and CEO of the Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa, stated
the following on the news of the approval:

The Petroleum Marketers & Convenience
Stores of Iowa is proud to see the Iowa Utilities Board
green-light the Dakota Access pipeline project.

The Dakota Access Pipeline will continue to
grow Iowas economy by increasing energy access for
agriculture and industry as well as create new opportunities for workers within our own association, as well as
the laborers and manufacturers required to construct this
project.
