SWG Superintendent makes strong case for raising tax levy in Feb. 3 election Low turnout for public meeting. . . By Glenn Schreiber SWG Superintendent of Schools Rich Stouffers gave a thorough presentation of the Physical Plant and Equip- ment Levy (PPEL) Wednesday night, Jan. 14, at the Dayton School library. There was a very small number of citizens (less than 10) for this PPEL public meeting. Stouffers gave a comprehensive power point presen- tation of PPEL and he made a convincing case that this tax levy is necessary. School district residents will vote on PPEL tax levy at a special election Tuesday, Feb. 3. The current 52 cent property tax levy will be re- placed in the proposed plan with the current property tax levy and added to this will be a four percent state income tax surtax (based solely on one’s state income tax). The 52 cent levy will rise to $1 per $1,000 of prop- erty valuation. The tax levy on property taxes won’t rise, and it could even be lowered, but the ratio will always be about 50-50 (50 percent income tax revenues and 50% property tax revenues). This levy would cover a 10 year period. “We need this $1 level to maintain and enhance our facilities,” asserted Stouffers. “We think this is a fair and equitable plan for everyone and it is a win-win situation.” A person/family with a home valuation of $50,000 will continue to pay about $26 in the school tax levy. For a $100,000 home/real estate the cost would be $52 per year. On the state income tax side, a person with a $500 state income tax would pay an additional $20 per year and a person with a $1,000 state income tax bill would pay an additional $40 per year. These scenarios cover a large number of people within the district, but no farmers. Their situations are different. The same formulas are in place for farmers but there is obviously more real estate involved and likewise more state income tax involved. Projected revenues if PPEL is approved for SWG Tim Hoffman, Educational Planning with Facilities Cost Management Group, was at the PPEL meeting at Dayton. His firm is working with Piper Jaffrey & Hop- wood on a plan to continually balance the state income tax revenues and property tax revenues if PPEL is ap- proved by voters Feb. 3. PPEL revenues for 2016 are projected at $220,412 for this year in the SWG School District. This would include $106,587 in property tax revenues and $113,825 in income surtax revenues. How would PPEL help district students? In his power point presentation Supt. Stouffers said PPEL would insure that school buildings are adequately maintained, thus preventing costly repairs in future; and students would have increased access to technology. A five-year plan would include student centered technology; building and grounds improvement; and im- prove/maintain the transportation fleet. Under student technology there is one to one com- puters for grades 5-8 at an annual cost of $75,000. Three year usage breaks down to $350 each. New MacBook Pro’s (laptops) are $1,100 each. The will be costs with Middle School roof repairs as several sections need to be replaced over the next three to five years at a rough estimate of $300,000. Lighting for a baseball/softball complex at Harcourt is estimated at $100,000. An electronic keyless entry system/intercom is es- timated at $50,000; boiler repairs, $15,000; continued maintenance at Boxholm, $15,000; window replacement in Dayton, $50,000. There are major expenses involved in maintaining a good fleet of buses. Emergency Situations Supt. Stouffers has had good experience as a school superintendent at Coon Rapids/Bayard. “From my experience I can tell you that there are many emergency type expenses where PPEL funds are so valuable,” he stated. Some of these emergency situations would include building code issues, radon, state mandated issues, and high 80 mile per hour winds (insurance would cover some of the latter). At Coon Rapids Bayard the $1.34 level PPEL was used, the highest allowed in the state. Two other schools in this area also have this $1.34 level: Boone Community Schools and Ogden Community Schools.

Rich Stoffers began his job as the new superintendent for the Southeast Valley school district Tuesday, July 1.
Rich Stoffers named new superintendentof new Southeast Valley school districtBy Nicole Presley
Rich Stoffers began his job as the new superintendent for the Southeast Valley school district Tuesday, July 1. Previously Stoffers was a superinten-dent and elementary principal in Coon Rapids, Iowa. Stoffers had resigned from his previous jobs because he felt it was in the best interest of the Coon Rapids-Bayard school district.
The Coon Rapids-Bayard administra-tion wanted to cut $400,00 from its general fund budget for 2015. According to Stoffers, Coon Rapids-Bayard made sacrifices at the adminis-trative level so that teachers and other faculty could keep their positions in the school. “Typically, in my position, you don’t resign without having another job. However, I wanted the CR-B district to be able to move for-ward in a timely manner,” said Stoffers. “Including the sharing of superinten-dent’s with neighboring districts, our district didn’t have much choice but to go this route.” Since being hired for Southeast Valley school district, Stoffers has attended meetings with the administrative staff and a few board members, but hasn’t had a chance to get into the community. Before school begins Stoffers plans to send a newsletter encouraging staff to meet with him before the school year starts. This is to make sure the staff is prepared for the new year and this allows an opportunity for Stoffers to get to know all of his employees, and begin making personal connections before they have their meeting during the first in-service days this fall. Stoffers hasn’t made any long-term goals for the school district yet, but does have a plan to help make the transition into the new schools as smooth as possible. “My job is to look at the overall bigger picture with the many changes and challenges
The SWG PPEL election Feb. 3 marks a new direc-tion for this school district. It is actually a good direction, a very responsible and progressive course of action that will improve infrastructure, technology and equipment for the next 10 years in the SWG school district.
The new plan uses the current property tax levy (which will be retained) and adds the state income surtax. This is important for many reasons: 1) Some people who don’t own property but still reside in the district will be-gin to pay these school taxes; 2) there will be less reliance on the property taxes which could possibly be lowered a bit during this 10 year period; 3) it is a more equitable, fair way for the district to collect these added revenues.
There isn’t much doubt that these revenues (added taxes) are needed. In Dayton, for example, a new gym is needed at the elementary school. The school district would like to incorporate a new gym, with a safety room, and a few more classrooms. The school has grades K-grade four and the classrooms are full. There are also 60-70 children in the Day Care program at school includ-ing about eight babies. (There is a baby room). With so many children a “safety room” in the event of a tornado would be ideal. Dayton elementary children are currently walking across the street to the old gym.
PPEL funds could conceivably fund construction of a new gym complex with other purposes described above. Voters would probably reject a gym construction plan in a bond issue.
The planning, ideas, and PPEL plan are all good. The school board is presenting a good plan for its district , parents, and school children. But for all its good plan-ning and intentions a few mistakes were made.

Dayton Dreamers have enjoyable Dec. 18Holiday meeting; January meeting canceledMany member birthdays. . .
It was a brisk wintry day on December 18, when 20 Dayton Dreamer’s members plus one guest braved the weather and met at the Community Center. As we entered, we were mesmerized by the table decorations which were symbolic of the Holiday Season at the cen-ter of the tables, glimmering gold ropes were laid sur-rounded by ceramic snowmen, angels, Christmas trees, and nativity scenes.
On the serving table was an angel dressed in gold hovering over a nativity scene surrounded by green rope. On another table stood a tall gold angel with out-stretched wings was placed on a shimmering gold cloth. Needless to say, the splendor of the decor put us all in a festive mood.
After the table grace was sung, a sumptuous meal was served. We were delighted to have sliced ham, baked potatoes, a lettuce salad, dinner rolls and for a very tasty dessert, a homemade bread pudding with a topping of a butter/nutmeg sauce was served.
President Bonnie Reck opened the business meeting by leading us in saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. She then introduced our guest, Evelyn Pat-terson, from Stratford. President Reck gave a big thank you to the persons who brought the food and to the kitch-en help. A special thank you went to Chester Youngren for furnishing the ham.
Secretary Alice Johnson read the minutes of the November meeting and also gave the Treasurer’s report. Motion was made and seconded to accept both reports as read. Motion passed. She read two thank you notes for the donations that we made in the month of December from Diane Esperson, secretary of the Dayton Food Pan-try and Ms. Lambert of the Operation Angel Tree. Ms. Lambert reported that 30 families and 78 children were served with supplemental gifts and a $50 food voucher plus food pantry items. It was truly gratifying to hear that so many people were served during this time of the year.
Several December birthdays were acknowl-edged: Mary King on the1st, Harold Rentschler on the 4th, Harlan Adams -the 14th, Georgia Phillips the 19th, Bonnie Reck the 21st and Barb May on the 30th. It was announced that Sister Lois, who was a faithful member
for a number of years, will celebrate her birthday on Janu-ary 9th.
A discussion ensued on what our menu in Janu-ary would be. Volunteers offered to bring spaghetti with sauce, French bread, a lettuce salad, and a special Italian dessert. We are looking forward to the January meal.
Earlier, each member was given a lottery ticket. After scratching their ticket, three became winners!
Our program consisted of Lavonne Beckman reading ‘Giving Gifts that Don’t Cost us a Cent’ followed by an interesting reading relating to the Holiday Season by Diane Esperson.
Motion was made and seconded for the meeting to adjourn. Motion passed.
After much thought and consideration during the first part of January, it was decided to cancel our January 15th meeting and meet again on February 19th pending the weather and also if the flu is still prevalent. The menu will remain the same as planned.
Every area senior, age 55 years and older, are welcomed to attend our meetings on the third Thursday of the month. Please call for reservations-- either Presi-dent Reck at 547-2948 or Secretary Johnson at 359-2630. Hope to see you then.

Dear Editor, Recently Tom Fiegen, a possible challenger to me
for the Senate Democratic nomination, made a disturb-ing comment on his Facebook Page. In response to a Des Moines Register article, he said: “Farm Bureau is the environmental equivalent of the Klu (sp) Klux Klan.” I have the utmost respect for the Iowa Farm Bureau, and completely renounce the comparison by Mr. Fiegen as not representative of the Democratic Party or hopefully the ultimate nominee.
As does Mr. Fiegen, I have marked disagreements with the Farm Bureau concerning its position of in sup-port of total volunteerism on clean water initiatives in Iowa. However, I recognize that the only pathway to a common sense solution requires dialogue and civil de-bate. Name calling does not make a civil or productive debate.
The Ku Klux Klan is a proponent of racial terrorism. The Farm Bureau has no ties to the KKK or commonali-ties with it. The hyperbole by Mr. Fiegen is irresponsible and creates another barrier to a solution. In any future race for US Senate, I will couch debate in ways that con-nect Iowans to issues and one another.
Respectfully,Bob Krause2257 Walton Lake DriveFairfield, Iowa 52556 515-657-0069

Only two weeks ago Dayton was a winter wonderland, but a January thaw arrived over the weekend turning every-thing into a muddy mess.
an important public meeting. Only one person asked a question and he also made a few comments. That was it.
This public informational meeting was scheduled at the Dec. 10 SWG school board meeting. Please forgive the public for not digesting this development right before the busy Christmas holiday period (a few weeks) and the readjustment period after New Year’s. There was scant publicity on this vital meeting.
This PPEL is a good plan for our district. But it is a more complex plan. There should have been more ad-vanced publicity on the importance of the meeting and on the importance of attending this meeting. And please, having the meeting in the school library just gives the illusion that whomever didn’t want people to attend, and whomever wasn’t planning on having many people at-tend.
And even if 200 people did attend this meeting, there wouldn’t be enough time for many to really assimilate and digest the information before the Feb. 3 election. The whole time frame is too fast. In the past, these tax levy elections have been held in September. And finally, doz-ens of snowbirds are gone this time of year.
This is a good school board with good individual members who volunteer their valuable time. There is a good superintendent in charge who has invaluable experi-ence in his field. The PPEL plan appears to be very good and is certainly fair for the vast majority of people.
The voters will probably approve PPEL at the Feb. 3 election. And they will be right in doing so.
But in the future we respectively ask the SWG School Board to improve scheduling/publicity for these important public forums and for future tax levy elections.

Was that a blizzard outside or just a bit of snow and a lot of heavy, whipping around the corners, zig- zagging here and there winds? The next morning I decided it must have been all of that as I looked out my living room patio door north to the hillside leading up to the Police Academy grounds. It looked like a huge bowl of whipped cream. It reminded me of the fields of Boone County the day we moved to the area. I had heard it was worse up that way so could imagine the view up there with so many farmsteads now farmland, the vastness of that whipped cream looked now. I shuddered!!
I listened to the news and was told how COLD it was, how much SNOW had fallen on our city and how WINDY it had been. The promise of this being an ultra-cold day, slick streets and just not at all nice out there brought messages continually scrolling across the bottom of our TV screens with all the school closings and others and finally Des Moines decided they should follow suit. It was Wednesday and for the first time I can remember EVERYTHING was cancelled at church – office closed – no lunch – no noon services – no supper – no Kids’ Klub – no Confirmation – no evening services.
That day brought back a memory of a couple years or so ago. On Saturday we had an unusual circum-stance for our small church – two funerals. I had assisted at the early one at the church and there was a lunch af-ter which we would then go to the cemetery. Pastor and his wife had made plans for a week’s vacation in Florida and their departure was to be at 3:00 P.M. Thus, I stayed with the morning funeral family and attendees and did the committal service. I rode with the driver in the hearse and somewhat jokingly said to him that in a way it was good – I was getting to ride in the front seat before I had to take my last ride in back. This was mid-January and a quite pleasant day. The sun was shining and we were pro-tected from the slight breeze by the tent. The committal service went well and I was safely delivered back to the church.
The second service was at noon and a much smaller one than the one at church. That fellow was a veteran who would be interred at the new Veteran’s cem-etery near Van Meter. There was one thing a bit different though. Because that cemetery does not bury anyone on weekends, Saturday and Sunday, he had to remain at the funeral home. There was another glitch too. That Mon-day was Martin Luther King Day and being a Federal holiday no interments were scheduled in the cemetery so we had to wait until Tuesday. Pastor and his wife had made their 3:00 flight on Saturday shortly after this sec-ond funeral. So, again, it was my responsibility to do the cemetery thing.
It was snowing quite hard but not considered blizzard force nor severe enough to close Des Moines Schools which takes a lot. I drove over to the funeral
What a difference a few days can makehome and met the young man who was to take the de-ceased on his last ride. I had mentioned I would like to ride with him as I had not been out there and didn’t want to get lost. The family would meet us out there. I was glad I hadn’t decided to drive. As we drove along there were cars by the road, vehicles in ditches, some with sizeable dents in them. The snow was bad and then not so bad. It was blowing a very cold wind along with the snow by the time we arrived. An attendant at the cemetery met us and led us to a building – thank good-ness! We would be inside away from the wind even if in an unheated building. Basically they allow only fifteen minutes for committal services. The only people there were the widow, the only son and his family, wife, two children and daughter in law. There were two young men as honor guards one of which was also the trumpeter.
Soon we were wending our way back on I-35 but it seemed to have gotten worse again and I said a prayer and trusted my driver. We saw some new vehicles along the road on the way back. The snow seemed to be getting worse as was the wind. We finally made it back safely. I knew what I was going to do – go home, put the car in the garage and stay inside. Before leaving the funeral home I called church to tell Nancy, our secretary, to go home and if anyone else was there for any reason to tell them too. It was not a good day but we all arrived home safely.
What a difference a few days can make, particu-larly in Iowa where I have lived all my life – a long time and I have never, never gotten used to winter, especially severe snowy, cold weather ones.

JV Girls Basketball had a busy week
The JV girls basketball team had a busy week last week competing in three games. Up first was Greene County on Saturday night. The Jaguars dropped a 43 - 8 decision to the Rams. Carson Shipley lead the Jaguars with 4 points. Leah Gibbons and Ebony Scott both added a basket.
On Monday, the Jaguars faced East Sac in Gow-rie. After being tied at halftime 11 - 11, the Jaguars ended up losing 32 - 19. Southeast Valley had 5 girls in the scor-ing column. Leah Gibbons lead the way with 7 points, Emma Graves and Katie Walrod both added 4 points and Carson Shipley and Ebony Scott both scored 2.
Finally, on Thursday, Southeast Valley travelled to Lake City to face South Central Calhoun. The Jag-uars struggled in the first quarter, but were able to find the basket and play the Titans even for the next two quar-ters, until South Central pulled away in the 4th quarter to a 34 - 11 win. Ebony Scott lead the Jags in this game with 6 points. Karissa Heisterman added a basket for two points, while Emma Graves, Leah Gibbons and Ka-tie Walrod each added a point. Micaela Fevold, Leslie Housken and Anna Hanson all contributed to all three games with several rebounds and solid defense.
Southeast Valley has another couple busy weeks coming up. The Jags will travel to Newell Fonda on Monday night, before hosting Manson on Tuesday and Newell Fonda on Friday at 4:30pm before the Varsity games. The following week, the Jags will host South Central Calhoun on Monday, Jan. 26th, before traveling to Pomeroy on the 27th and East Sac on the 29th.

Webster County Supervisors givesupport to gas tax increase in IowaMore funds needed for roads, bridges. . .By David Satterlee
On January 13, 2015, the Webster County Board of Supervisors hired Hans Becker as Assistant County At-torney. Hans was previously a prosecuting intern in the Dubuque County attorney’s office. He was selected from among six applicants.
Dale Struecker, Webster County Compensation Board Chairman, presented the Board’s 2015/2016 salary recommendations. Elected officials were recommended for increases of about 3%. This follows a 5% “catch up” increase last year. Mr. Struecker pointed out that, “We try to keep the salaries about 17th highest in the state.” The Supervisors accepted the report.
Margo Knippel and Berna Tucker were appoint-ed to the Planning and Zoning Board. The department ad-ministers and enforces county planning, zoning, subdivi-sions, floodplains and dilapidated building abatement for unincorporated areas. Appointments were also approved for the Condemnation Jury.
The board approved appointing Jane Burleson, Pat McLoud and Mick Flaherty to the Webster County Magistrate Appointing Committee.
Karen Anderson, Vice President of the Webster County Fair Board, updated the Supervisors on Fair-grounds activities and requested funding for the coming year. The Fairgrounds have a new website, webstercoun-tyfairgroundsia.com, which is expected to better-promote booking of available venues. Other Iowa counties have already booked events through the site.
Ms. Anderson pointed out that “We’ve com-pleted a lot of improvement projects. We’re moving in the right direction. We’ve made a lot of progress.” The fairgrounds purchased new air conditioners, tables, chairs and a flatbed truck in the last year, as well as repairing
and upgrading several buildings. Volunteers completed a painting project. There is still a need to add heating to the “outdoor pavilion” to make it available for more events.
Supervisors signsecurity contract The board agreed to sign a Contract between
Owens-King Company and the Webster County Record-er for continued security storage of County microfilm. These films will continue to be stored as a secure backup of primary records maintained by the Recorder at the Courthouse.
The vault is in a climate-controlled area of an underground cavern created by excavating limestone. In the discussion, other department heads commented on the desirability of using similar backups of their own records.
County supervisorssupport gas tax increase The Board adopted a resolution supporting in-
creased funding for County roads, highways, and bridges through Iowa’s “gas tax” Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF). The fuel tax has not gone up significantly since 1989, while the cost of construction has continued to climb. Collection of tax revenues have not kept up to meet infra-structure needs.
The shortfall in Iowa is running in excess of $215 million each year. The same resolution was passed by the Board last year as a pointed acknowledgement of the ongoing problem.
The Board authorized a utility permit for Centu-ryLink to bore under 170th street, west of Samson, for a fiber optic communication cable.
Supervisor Keith Dencklau noted that the Des Moines water works is suing two Iowa counties for up-stream introduction of excess point-source nitrogen. He stated that this is a very important issue.
Fort Dodge business plans $94.8 million investment in Webster CountyFormer Fort Dodge Animal Health corporation. . .By David Satterlee
In recent news, Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedi-ca Inc. (BIVI), and formerly Fort Dodge Animal Health is preparing to update and expand its operations in Fort Dodge, Ames and Sioux Center, Iowa. BIVI is expected to invest more than $94.8 million in Webster County dur-ing the next four years. The combined Fort Dodge/Ames investment has been reported as $110,000. BIVI special-izes in “health products for farm animals and pets,” and manufactures over 250 product lines.
There are several people in the Dayton, SWG School District who are employed with BIVI (former-ly Fort Dodge Animal Health).
Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) is an international developer and manufacturer of prescription and OTC pharmaceuticals and is headquartered in Ingelheim, Germany but has about 145 affiliates in 47 countries.BI was founded in 1885 and is family owned. In the United States, Boehringer Ingelheim Corporation (BIC), a Dela-ware Corporation in Ridgefield, Connecticut, manages at least five U.S. subsidiaries, including BIVI, which is based in St. Joseph, Missouri.
The BIVI facilities have a long history in Fort Dodge. According to the Fort Dodge Laboratories special collection of Iowa State University, the Ames Vaccine Company (with its hog anti-cholera serum) was moved to Fort Dodge in 1912 and renamed the Fort Dodge Serum Company. This name was changed again in 1932 to Fort Dodge Laboratories.
In 1945, American Home Products bought the company which became Fort Dodge Animal Health until recently. FD Animal Health produced vaccines, parasiti-cides and antibiotics. In 1995, FDAnimal Health acquired American Cyanamid and Syntex Animal Health and es-tablished its worldwide headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas. FD Animal Health changed its name to Wyeth in 2002.
In a parallel history, George Heidgerken, CEO of BIVI, explained “In the U.S., our roots go back nearly 100 years to the early hog cholera vaccines developed by two Missouri hog farmers [W. True Davis, Sr. and Edger A. Poe] who would eventually found the Anchor Serum Company.” Anchor developed and manufactured hog products in St. Joseph, Missouri.
In 1959, Anchor sold to North American Philips, which became Philips Roxane. BI bought Philips Roxane in 1981 and changed its name to Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, Inc. (BIAH) four years later and BIVI in 1998. BIVI bought NOBL laboratories in Sioux Center and Ames, Iowa in 1997 and opened a new production facility in St. Joseph in 2001.
In 2009, Pfizer Inc. Acquired Wyeth (including its Fort Dodge Animal Health subsidiary) as part of a $68

The Dysart Family, based in Ma-con, Missouri, is signed with Crossroads Records, one of gospel music’s largest record labels, and tour nation-wide. They were nominated for Horizon Group of the year in 2012, and in 2014 were voted one of the top ten nominees for New Mixed Group in the Singing News Fan Awards.

They saw their first radio single, Up and Away, chart at number 28 on the Country Gospel Top 100 in February, 2012, and their current single, an original song written by LeWain Sr. entitled God’s Love Is So Amazing, charted at number 46 on the Singing News Top 80 charts in Janu-ary, 2014.
The Dysart’s approach to their music ministry in-corporates a serious focus on personal relationships with Jesus, their love for each other in the home, and just plain hard work on their music.

Jenny Conrad is pictured with the custom, one of a kind, jaguar quilt she donated to Southeast Valley Post Prom for a raffle fundraiser.
The Southeast Valley Post Prom committee will be holding a raffle to win a beautiful jaguar quilt donated by Jenny Conrad.
“I wanted to help out but I am not always available to help or attend meetings,” says Jenny Conrad, whose son is a junior a Southeast Valley High School. This prompted her to create a one of a kind, custom pieced and quilted, jaguar logo lap quilt that she donated to the post prom committee. Jenny has been a traditional quilter for many years and enjoys designing and creating custom fabric art such as barns and flowers that can be framed and dis-played.
The quilt, done in school colors of gray, black, and teal, measures approximately 67” wide by 88” tall. It is currently displayed at the high school in Gowrie. Tickets will be available at school events, Heartland Bank and Security Savings Bank locations throughout the school district as well as from other businesses and individuals. A donation of $5 receives one ticket or $20 for 6 tick-ets. The winner will be drawn at the last home basketball game on Tuesday, February 3rd.

(BIAH) four years later and BIVI in 1998. BIVI bought NOBL laboratories in Sioux Center and Ames, Iowa in 1997 and opened a new production facility in St. Joseph in 2001.
In 2009, Pfizer Inc. Acquired Wyeth (including its Fort Dodge Animal Health subsidiary) as part of a $68
billion deal. To avoid unfair trade issues, Pfizer began di-vesting some of its holdings. Shortly after, BIVI reported that it would acquire a “significant portion” of the Pfizer Animal Health business in Fort Dodge. This included manufacturing and research facilities. In the process, they also acquired multiple lines of animal vaccine and phar-maceutical products manufactured and sold throughout the world.
At that time, Fort Dodge was a contender for a BIVI consolidation and expansion project also involving two existing plants in St. Joseph. Fort Dodge BIVI sub-sequently lost about 40 jobs when St. Joseph was selected for construction of BIVI’s 260,000 square foot main U.S. distribution center.
Since acquiring the facilities in Fort Dodge, BIVI has nearly double in size. Anticipating increased sales and production, BIVI increased its U.S. sales force by about 75 positions to more than 250 during 2012. In April 2013, BIVI completed a $285,000 investment at their Fort Dodge campus with the integration of a new 600 ton chiller plant/cooling tower.
BIVI facilities in Fort Dodge include pharma-ceutical product manufacturing and packaging at the 141 East Riverside Drive plant. BIVI does research and de-velopment, and also manufactures vaccines at its 800 5th Street Northwest facility, including a new low-dose vac-cine for dogs. Since 1995, BIVI’s Fort Dodge workers have been represented by the United Food and Commer-cial Workers Union, Local 6.
BIVI applied to the Iowa Economic Develop-ment Authority (IEDA) for economic development fi-nancial assistance packages. The IEDA approved for a maximum of $1.96 million in tax credits for construction to expand their Fort Dodge Health Production Facilities. This includes space for vaccine production, warehousing and a new Veterinary Research Center.
In addition to Fort Dodge, BIVI has Iowa fa-cilities in the Iowa State University Park in Ames, Iowa. These include a Swine Health Management Center with its Diagnostic Laboratory and Process Information Group. BIVI is planning to spend about $12 million in Ames for a new 52,088 square foot research and development facil-ity for five target species including “cattle, swine, horses, poultry and companion animals.” They were also recently approved by IEDA for a $137,000 investment tax credit and a $30,000 research activities tax credit. These are maximums, depending on their tax liability.
In 2011, Governor Branstad spoke at the grand opening of the first of three new BIVI swine & cattle disease and vaccine research buildings in Sioux Center, Iowa. BIVI also decided to renovate existing research buildings there.
Danielson, former Dayton resident, promoted at Buena Vista Sheriff’s Office Rob Danielson, son Chuck and Linda Daniel-son, has been promoted to Captain with the Buena Vista Sheriff’s Office, on January 7.

“Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name.” Psalm 29:2
So often in his psalms, David would begin with an acknowledgment of the greatness of God. I think it is important for us as well to look at the attributes pf God. We need to remind ourselves of His unlimited power; His unlimited knowl-edge, and to consider His omnipresence, the fact that He is present everywhere. We should take time to think about these things, to contemplate them, and to get our thoughts in order before we offer a single petition to our Father.
When we confess our sins in our prayers we are on the right track. The closer we draw to God, the more we sense our own sinfulness. When we spend time in the presence of God, we become aware of our shortcomings. God’s Holy Spirit never convicts us of sin to drive us away, but to draw us near. To confess means to say, “Lord, I agree with You. I have sinned and I am sorry. We even should say “show me what is wrong” for many times we may be unaware that what we are doing is sinful.
We can pray the most beautiful prayers, but if our hearts are not right before God and there is unconfessed sin in our lives, our prayers will go no higher than our ceiling. So confession of sin is essential in our prayers.
Even some of our thoughts are consid-ered prayers and there may be moments when we find our soul on its’ knees!
Until next week...how tired God must be when we complain and find fault all the time in our prayers, for that seems to be what we bring to Him the most. Make it a point this week to praise Him every day in every prayer.

laughter at Dad’s silly stories of life in the home, all add up to a concert that no one wants to see come to an end.
Kendra and LeWain II join Mom and Dad for close family quartet harmonies, trios and duets. Kendra’s lead voice has people talking about how such a voice can come from such a young lady, while LeWain II’s deep, smooth bass adds that something extra that everyone wants to hear from a quartet. Lorena, the mother, adds her rich alto to the mix and LeWain, the father, joins in with the tenor. All combined you get a unique family blend that is simply the Dysarts. It is the highlight of the concert when the three younger boys join the family to sing a few songs in each concert.

with the transition. Our custodial staff is work-ing very hard and the buildings are looking impressive. We have supplies and materials in every room,” said Stoffers. “Also I have to continue to review and analyze the district’s financial situation. All our certified and support staff’s full time equiva-lencies and responsibilities. I have done some preliminary work in the finance area under the guidance of our long-time school business of-ficial Karla Flickinger,” said Stoffers. Throughout the year Stoffers said he will start making long-term goals for the schools as he learns about the community. “I’m excited that they were able to work together and collaborate on this new endeavor. It’s a huge change and it can be deemed as somewhat of a risk for some in the community,” said Stoffers. “Yet the board of education, the admin-istration and the families in the schools were able to band together and determine that whole grade sharing would be a great opportunity for both districts and for those students and for the faculty.”

Dayton Rodeo attendancestill good despite rainyLabor Day weekendAttendance totals 9,445 . . . The Dayton Rodeo had an attendance of 9,445 despite considerable rain during the La-bor Day Weekend. “People really supported the Dayton Rodeo even though we experienced some heavy rain,” noted Jesse Green, Celebration Commit-tee president. “Hard working volunteers, gen-erous sponsors, and dedicated fans is what saved us this year.” On Friday night there was considerable rain until 7 p.m. when it stopped. Attendance that night was 1,036. On Saturday night there was a break from the rain and attendance jumped to 4,643. Even on Sunday night attendance was still re-spectable despite tornado warnings. The attendance Sunday night was 2,086. Dayton Rodeo staff were monitoring storm ac-tivity and the crowd was alerted to storm warn-ings. Green stated that the rain hampered parking and “this year was the worst parking situation we have ever seen.” Green stated, “Monday the ground con-ditions were so bad that parking was shut down over an hour before the show. I firmly believe we would have had normal or even greater at-tendance if we had adequate parking to get peo-ple in on our nice weather performances. We need to install either paved lanes for people to drive on or bring in tons of rock so that we don’t have the same nightmare again.” Better parking will be a top priority next year Green emphasized. The Monday attendance was 1,680.
