Mourning Glory band inducted Sunday

in Iowa Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
Former Dayton residents. . .
By Craig Peterson

On Sunday, September 4, four former Dayton
residents were honored by being inducted into the Iowa
Rock and Roll Music Association Hall of Fame located in
Okoboji, Iowa.

For the last 20 years IRRMA has inducted over
1400 individuals into the hall of fame, along with passing out thousands of dollars in music scholarships. Don
Meyers, Joe LeValley, Roger Peterson, and Mark Plahn
are the members of Mourning Glory Rock Band.

From 1971-1974 these high school friends
played 200 bookings around central Iowa. In their acceptance speech, the group gave much praise and thanks
to the Dayton Community for the support they received
during their years of performing.

Leo Blanchet loaned them the use of a small
farm house for their studio and other Dayton businesses
offered them services like free printing of posters, use of

an enclosed truck for traveling, and the opportunity to

perform in Dayton.

Sunday night at the Roof Garden Ballroom the
inductees got to perform live in front of a packed ballroom filled with fans. Some of the groups that performed
were: IRRMA 2016 battle of the band winner (Royal
Flush), The Flying Marsupials, Mourning Glory Rock
Band, IRRMA All-Stars, Lynn Allen, Street Band, Drivetime, Dee Jay and the Runaways, and The Velaires.

If you ever want to see some of the best rock
bands that play or did play Iowa, this is the concert to go
to. Each band gets about 25 minutes to show the crowd
why they were nominated to the hall of fame. From 6:3011:45 p.m. the Roof Garden came alive with a battle of
the inductee bands.

Your Dayton nominees did not disappoint the
crowd. They got a well-deserved standing ovation. Dayton should be proud of these four rockers.

Honored at the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame
are left to right Joe LeValley, Don Myers Mark Plahn and
Roger Peterson.

This is what happens

if your century farm
is taken by eminent domain
By LaVerne Johnson

This is what happens when your century farm is
taken by Eminent Domain. This ismy farm section 15 &
16 in Pilot Mound Township, Boone County.

Should this be done to your property without
your consent? he asked.

Stop eminent domain he urges. Photos on page

Dayton Rescue Squad assisted by area

ambulances; seeking more EMTs
Four EMTs currently serve Dayton. . .

The Dayton Rescue Squad provided ambulance
service once again for the Dayton Rodeo.

The Dayton Rescue Squad was assisted by area
ambulance services. The Gowrie ambulance service provided ambulance service on Saturday and Monday for the
Dayton Rodeo. The Stratford Ambulance Service provided ambulance service on Friday and Sunday for the
Dayton Rodeo.
Dayton Rescue has four
EMTs, several drivers

The Dayton Rescue Service currently has four
EMT (Emergency Medical Technicians) on the rescue
squad and one more person is in training.

The four EMTs are Bobbi Jean Martin, Craig
Johnson, Nick Dunbar and Megan Johnson.

Bobbi Martin is a nurse at Boone County Hospital and she is president of the Dayton Rescue Service.

Craig Johnson is a foreman for the City of Day-

ton; Nick Dunbar is the Police Chief in Dayton; and Megan Johnson is a nurse at the hospital in Webster City.

There are many drivers for the Dayton Ambulance Service. They include Earl Hansen, Luke Hainzinger, Mitch Peterson, Dan Stewart,
Clint Ford, Lucas Burns, Jessie Sorenson, Chris Naegle,
Joe Fiebiger, and Al Martin. Al is a city emloyee and is
also married to Bobbi Martin.
Area cities cover
Dayton, area towns

The Gowrie Ambulance Service helps to cover
Dayton on certain periods and also covers all areas west
of Dayton including Harcourt, which also has an ambulance service.

The Stratford ambulance service covers areas
east of Dayton. Dayton Rescue Service covers Dayton
and other area towns but does appreciate getting help

from area town ambulances.

Dayton helps cover Lehigh but also gets help
from Trinity in Fort Dodge.

It has been a problem for Dayton Rescue to have
enough EMTs available. Dayton Rescue currently has
four EMTs and Chris Naegle, who is a driver, is also
training to become an EMT.

People interested in assisting the Dayton Rescue Squad are invited to attend meetings held the second
Monday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at the Dayton Rescue building.

Congratulations to Mourning Glorys induction
into the Iowa Rockn Roll Music Hall of Fame on Sunday.

In recent years Mourning Glory has performed
at the Dayton Alumni Banquet on Memorial Day weekend. This year there wasnt an alumni banquet but it will
start again next year.

It was always nice to talk with Joe LeValley,
formerly of Dayton, who is still a member of the group.
Joe was an original member also and is the son of the
late Jack LeValley who passed away several years ago in
Dayton.

Joe still has a passion to perform and the band
always was eager to perform again. Judy Nemechek
Heidner, co-chair of the banquet for many years, had a
good rapport with Joe and every year Mourning Glory
came back to perform at the banquet.

The signature song at that banquet, of course,
was: All the World is from Dayton Tonight. Wow, what
a song! Who could ever forget that.

For one magical moment, those great lyrics inspired everyone. It did seem to everyone present that
they whole world was from Dayton tonight (that night).

Perhaps it is just my experience but from my
perspective it seems that more motorcyclists are using
their headlights during daytime hours.

I want to tell those motorcyclists that I am personally seeing you much better. Those headlights help
me a lot.

I went on line and a few websites do state that
headlights used during day light hours do make motorcyclists more visible to motorists.

Here are some other things that are recommended to motorcycle riders: 1) Bright colored motorcycles
help; 2) Bright clothing and headgear help; 3) avoid driving in blind spots as much as possible.

I have had a few friends pass away in motorcycle accidents over the years, and a few others were injured. I might be a little more sensitive on this subject
than the average person.

Keep on cycling and be safe!

The Bakken Oil Pipeline, which runs diagonally
across Iowa and through 18 Iowa Counties, has certainly
been controversial. It runs through Webster County, situated north of Gowrie and running close to Harcourt.

The pipeline has been supported by many farmers and there are other farmers who oppose it. I have
listened to both sides of the argument.

For obvious reasons most local citizens dont
want to make public comments. But almost everyone has
an opinion. The pipeline is going through Iowa and we
all hope there will be no adverse consequences.

The biggest emotional argument against the
pipeline seems to be focused on eminent domain. All
farmers feel a strong attachment to their land and so this
feeling is understandable. It is important that everyone
respects all opinions on eminent domain, pro or con. Eminent domain has always been a subject of controversy in
our nation and it has certainly produced strong feelings in
the pipeline controversy.

And then there are the farmers and environmentalists who oppose the pipeline because they believe there
will be environmental problems. All pipelines eventually break is one common refrain.

In some ways these feelings coming from opposing farmers and groups are stronger than feelings one
has about their respective schools. And think about it.
Schools come and go, and mostly in Iowa schools have
disappeared (over the past several six-seven decades).
But there is always the land. The land is our single greatest source of local pride.

More than ever we all need to work together,
pray together, and support each other. We may have opposing views, but the land, directly or indirectly, benefits
all of us.

All of us bond together through our schools and
churches. And this will be more important than ever before. We have great schools and churches and our involvement with these institutions will help us more forward.

SCC in close defensive battle Friday
Each team has two interceptions. . .
By Glenn Schreiber

The Southeast Valley Jaguars lost a heart-breaker Friday night 16-14 to fourth ranked South Central
Calhoun.

The Jaguars had a chance to tie the game on a
two-point conversion but the snap was fumbled.

We could not capitalize on good filed position
and SCC could not get things going, said coach Mike
Swieter.

Swieter continued, Losing is very hard and it
always hurts but we know as coaches that the kids gave
everything they had tonight and we could not be prouder
of them for that.

We feel we made big improvements from last
week and if we can continue to do that we will win a lot of
games. We know we have lost the last two games to very
good teams and both were ranked 4th and 5th respectfully.

Asserted Swieter, A highlight was holding preseason elite all state player Kody Case to 48 total yards.
The Jags will get this turned around.
A defensive battle

The game was a defensive battle with the
scored tied at zero at the end of one quarter.

In one early series Aaron Swieter had an 11 yard
run but a few plays later Southeast Valley was sacked and
was forced to punt again.

SCC has nice 14 play drive in the second quarter but Dakota Jaeschke intercepted the ball on the three
yard line and returned it 22 yards.

But SCC forced a 3 and out. Three plays later

SCC striked first with a 51 yard touchdown. They faked

it to Kody Case and we bit on it and they got behind us
for the touchdown. Kody Case ran in the 2 point conversion

The Jags made an excellent drive before half but
took another sack on 4th down on the nine yard line and
SCC led at the half 8-0.
Jaguar passing game
held to 94 yards

SCC came out to stop the Jags pass and did a
good job with that, said coach Swieter. We were happy
how our line responded this week and were able to pound
the ball when needed.

Quarterback Nolan Brand was 7-20 for 94 yards
and one touchdown. The tough SCC defense also made
two interceptions.

Dakota Jaeschke had two receptions for 33 yards
including a 22 yard touchdown. Nolan Johnson had two
catches for 17 yards and Nyles Johnson, Kaleb Jondle
and Aaron Swieter had one reception apiece.

Kaleb Jondle did rush for 124 yards on 19 carries.
Defensive stats

Kyle Jondle led in total tackles with 8.5. He
was followed by Alex Pliner, 5.5; and Aaron Swieter, 4.

Pliner led in solo tackles with two and Jaden
Cline had one. Dakota Jaeschke had two interceptions.
Jags tie game

Jags The Jags started the second half with a nice
10 play drive that ended in an interception. But SV did
not fold and forced another SCC punt.

The run game started clicking with Kaleb Jondle running off 6-11-4 yard gains then Aaron Swieter had
a 9 yard then back to Kaleb for 11 and a 9 yard touchdown. The two point conversion was made with Nolan
Brand passing to Dakota Jaeschke.

Jags forced another 3 and out and the scored was
tied at 8-8 at the end of three quarters.
SCC has its dagger
on interception

SCC executed a 13 play drive but Dakota
Jaescke got his second pick on the one yard line. This
was a huge play, said Swieter.

SCC stuffed the run on the first play to the 1/2
yard line. Coach called an audible on the next play to a
pass from the line and Dakota Jaescke was wide open but
it came in too hot to catch.

On third down the Jags ran a slant and SCC
read it perfectly and picked it off on the 4 yard line.
Said Swieter, This was the dagger that the Jags could not
afford.

Three plays later SCC scored a touchdown and
Kody Case ran for the two point conversion.
Jags comeback

We could have quit and think the game was
over but the Jags mounted a three minute drive and
Nolan Brand hit Dakota Jaeschke on fourth down for an
11 yard touchdown.

The Jags had the chance to tie the game but fumbled the snap on the two point conversion and never got

Fresh, homemade noon specials!

and serving breakfast

Withdrawing from the memory bank...

It happens around here more than I like and at
most inopportune times the cable becomes intermittent,
picture goes haywire, sound becomes garbled and poof!
Blackout! On again clear in both picture and sound and
then a repeat. This happened again the other day and do
you know when it would go out completely? Just when a
favorite program came on, like Wheel of Fortune. A lot
of people were no doubt disappointed in not being able
to see the Olympics and it was at those times that it was
out a lot. I checked with the cable company and was, by
a recorded voice, advised to speak my address, and there
was an outage. Leave your phone number and you will be
advised when it is operating properly again. Never did get
that call. It came back on in time for Perry Mason. I fell
asleep in my chair and never found out who the murderer
was for sure.

Do you remember the old days when you
bought an electrical appliance or gadget and took it out
of the box, plugged it in and it worked? Oh, yes, our first
TV big heavy brown box with tubes you had to replace
occasionally but it worked! We could get all three central Iowa TV stations, WOI (the first), WHO and KRNT.
That set did have to be installed and a roof top antenna
placed just right. Then do not move the TV. Later some
sets or areas required rabbit ears but that wasnt much of
an inconvenience. Those first to get color paid dearly
for even a small set. Now to get reception of supposed
non-cable stations you need some sort of apparatus to
make sure of both a clear picture and sound. I tried one
of those once when it was my main feeder that went out
over a weekend. Didnt work. Returned for refund. My
son used common picture wire strung around my den to
get the main stations. Sometimes I think should have
settled for that apparatus no matter its not being much of
a decor.

Every once in a while various memories of
things that were flash through my head. Most times they
are triggered by something I see on TV, something I read,
observations of life around me or chats with friends. I occasionally tune in on old Golden Girl episode. One was
Dorothys getting together with an old girlhood friend
and their reminiscing about the pranks they played on one
another. In this one her friend had supposedly had some
sort of attack while they were playing a game of tennis
and it was reported she had died. Dorothy went ahead
with the gathering of other old friends/school mates she
had planned only this time it was a wake. Of course
after sometime the doorbell rang and in walked Dorothys old friend and shocked everyone. But, where was
Dorothy? It was surmised that in her sorrow she had gone

being fully clothed. Dorothy had pulled the prank out

of the hubby and got the last gotcha! I remembered
my friend Lorraine and I and though we liked nice little
joke gifts and things, we would never have played any
pranks near that one. But it did cause me to remember
her and wishing I could still call her for a chat. Then
I remembered Agnes with whom we confided so many
things. We would never have pulled a nasty prank on one
another. They both went to their heavenly reward some
time ago.

Another memory jogger is the attire I see some
wearing to church these days. I am sure my peers and
the generation following remember dressing up in our
Sunday best. Who remembers always wearing a hat
and a skirt and hose to church? Little girls even wore
their prettiest outfits and patent shoes. When you became high school age, dress up. That meant the hose and
go to meeting shoes. Most adult men wore full suits
and ties, even in the summer though by the 50s short
sleeve dress shirts were on the market for men and it became more acceptable to wear a short sleeve dress shirt
and nice pair of slacks and loafers or oxfords no tennis
shoes. But now, I truly am appalled that women and
maturing girls are not only wearing shorts but short
shorts! A few of them, in my opinion, should never wear
them outside their own homes. I dont mind blue jeans
and a casual shirt (leave the raggy T at home) and I,
myself, am comfortable in dressy sandals in the summertime. Strange thing I do notice is that the little girls,
up to pre-teens, love to wear their prettiest, frilliest outfits and strut their stuff. Thatll change. Younger ones
reading this will call me old fashioned but I wear primarily pant outfits not jeans, and my matching handbags, purses and jewelry. I guess we all have our quirks
whether it is pranks or jokes on friends or our preference
of dress. I admit I like the modern stuff and dress of
today just that everything has its place and church is
not the beach, the exercise place or Hollywood Oscar
night. Yep, I have my memories and admit I like some
of the freedoms we experience now but like the old
saying, All things in moderation. What memories or
observations have I stirred up in you?

The Wall of Sin

The Great Wall of China is breathtaking. The

construction of it began over four hundred years before
Christ and was completed in the 1600s. It is built over
some of the toughest terrain imaginable. It could be
stretched from Georgia to London and still have wall left
over. All that effort to stay separated from their enemies!
But as huge as the Great Wall is, its not as big as the wall
of sin that separates man from God. I know sin is not a
politically correct term these days, but its what separates
man from God. No one can overcome this barrier on his
or her own. God, with His love, offers us a way through
Jesus. His sacrificial death, and our faith in Him removes
the carrier from our lives.
Do you feel a barrier or a separation between you and
God? We need to look at our faith and His Word to see
what Gods Word says about our Savior, Jesus. Jesus and
only Jesus can remove the wall between you and God. In
the removal you will find last peace and an abundance of
love every day. Its not difficult, just turn to Jesus and
ask for His help.

Prayer. Lord, when our problems seem like insurmountable walls, help tear down that wall. In Jesus
Holy Name. Amen

Three men charged

for harvesting ginseng
on state-managed land
Along Des Moines River
Valley in Boone County. . .

Three central Iowa men were charged with theft
for allegedly harvesting ginseng roots on state managed
lands along the Des Moines River valley over the Labor
Day Weekend. It is illegal to harvest ginseng from all
state-owned and state-managed land, and most county
conservation board owned land.

Bart Bollie, 53, of Madrid, Kyle Jones, 55, of
Slater and Brent Jones, 28, of Slater, were each charged
with fifth degree theft, unlawful possession of wild ginseng root from state-managed lands, and unlawful possession of young wild ginseng. The DNR is asking for
restitution and liquidated damages equal to 150 percent
of the value of the ginseng, which is $292.50 from each
individual.

They all had valid Iowa ginseng harvester permits.

State Conservation Officer Matt Bruner was patrolling remote areas of public land in northern Dallas and
southern Boone County when he made contact with the
individuals as they came out of the woods in the early
afternoon on Sept. 5.

Officers seized 406 illegally harvested ginseng
roots, including 41 roots that did not meet legal harvest
age, and the digging tools.

Ginseng plants must have three or more prongs
and a flowering or fruiting stalk with red fruits in order to
be dug up. Once dug up, the roots must have at least five
stem scars to be harvested. Roots with less than five stem
scars must be carefully replanted in the same location.

Bollie, Jones and Jones are set to appear in Dallas County court on September 12.

Ginseng is a slow-growing plant and its root is
used in herbal products, supplements and teas in Asian
cultures and health food stores. Most of the ginseng collected in Iowa is exported to countries in Asia, with a
small portion going to cities along the west coast, like
San Francisco.

The price of ginseng fluctuates based on the
strength of the Asian economy and lately that price has
been down. Last year, average quality ginseng roots
would bring $500-$600 per pound, and high quality roots
up to $750 per pound.

Ginseng may be harvested from September 1
to October 31 from private land with permission from
the landowner, and harvesters must have a valid ginseng
harvester permit. Permits are available for $37 anywhere
hunting and fishing licenses are sold.

There are currently 154 permitted Iowa ginseng
harvesters.

Iowa is one of 19 states that allow ginseng to be
harvested. Ginseng is an endangered plant in some states
and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service monitors Iowas
compliance and enforcement of ginseng regulations to
support sustainable harvest.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is
responsible for managing the ginseng harvest in accordance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Justin Boots, which provides a sports medicine

again.

Justin Boots provides the service at the Dayton
Rodeo in exchange for advertising. Justin Boots has covered up to 130 rodeo events in the past in one year.

The Dayton Rescue Service and Stratford Rescue Services continues to provide emergency ambulance
services.

According to Justin Boots, some 200 miles of
athletic tape is used each year at the various rodeos in the
United States. The Justin Boots trailer and sports medicine were available throughout the rodeo.

Several members of the Dayton Rodeo Celebration Committee made comments on the sports medicine

service. This service has been part of the Dayton Rodeo

for at least 12 years.

Some cowboys use Justin Boots during non-rodeo hours during the day when they are experiencing pain
and so forth. The Justin Boots trailer can accommodate
up to four cowboys at one time.

The Justin Boots trailer, pictured above, provides
a sports medicine service and was present at the Dayton Rodeo this year once again. Pictured below is the inside of the
Justin Boots trailer equiped to help anyone injured. Photos

Bucket Brigade formed...

It was three o'clock Wednesday morning April 3rd,

1901, when flames were discovered in the Ross hardware
building, the southernmost building of Main Street's
east side block. It was thought the fire was caused by
spontaneous combustion.
When the alarm sounded, men quickly gathered to
check the fire, but to no avail. Fixtures were removed
from the post office which occupied the annex on the
north side of the Ross building. A bucket brigade formed
in the street and began a futile attempt to put out the fire.
There was a slight breeze from the south and as the fire
started on the north side of the block, it had to work its
way against the wind. This allowed time for occupants to
remove most of their goods.
Buildings occupied by the post office, W. H. Rodd,
Lehigh Valley Savings Bank, W.J. Young, O. J. Williams,
Mrs. Hattie Brundage, O. Albee, William Barrowman,
John Tuel and Dave Cunningham were reduced to ashes
- as estimated $12,000 loss.
The fire burned for three hours and at the end of
that time only the southernmost building in the block
remained. William Wood's saloon was entered with

Corey pressed brick and, with the help of men pouring

water on its roof, withstood the heat admirably.

The following week most of the insurance claims had
been adjusted and plans for rebuilding were underway.
This time all of the new buildings would be made of
Lehigh Brick.
On April 12, 1901 Fuller reported that Lehigh fire
chief, D.T. Dale, was attempting to repair "that old rattletrap of a thing they call a fire engine. Might as well dump
it in the river and save expenses."

Even after the devastating fire, Lehigh went without
adequate fire protection. In July, 1906 they purchased
a 3600 pound fire engine from a Minneapolis firm for
$1,800.
"The gasoline engine can be started in five minutes
and can throw water from a two and one half inch hose."
This may have placated some who were pressing for a
water system because it wasn't until 1912 that the town
issued $15,000 in bonds for the purpose of installing a
combined water works and an electric light system.

The following year it was necessary to issue $5,000
in additional bonds to complete the project.

Is water for Boone,

City of Des Moines threatened?

Dakota Access continues to move heavier construction equipment to begin drilling beneath the river
this week.

Mark Edwards, a river protector from Boone,
Iowa, shared: One spill, for one hour, has the potential
to leave one million gallons of toxic crude in this river.
With the recent earthquake this past weekend and shock
waves affecting Iowa we could see this buried pipeline
leaking into this river at any time. This means the city of
Boone would be without water for a long time. Also, the
city of half a million people downstream in Des Moines
will have to make other plans for water.

Who decided this was worth the risk? Three
people hand-picked, politically appointed by our Governor was all it took to legitimize confiscating personal
property and giving an out of state corporation the power
over the common good. Who stands to gain from this
deal? The local economy will receive pocket change for a
few weeks as out of state workers buy groceries and gas,
motels and campsites. But, this oil will flow to the Gulf
to be loaded on boats traveling to the far east for someone
elses fortune. A Canadian company just purchased 49%
of the parent company so they will be able to send Canadian oil overseas this way also, Edwards continued.

The Standing Rock Sioux Camp of Sacred
Stones has called for global acts of solidarity September
3-17th. More information about the groups weekend action and upcoming actions can be found at their website
nobakken.com.

Webster County agencies

have full Preparedness
Month activities set
During month of September. . .

September has been proclaimed as Preparedness
Month in Iowa.

Webster County Emergency Management has
teamed up with the Fort Dodge Fire Department, Fort Dodge
Police Department, Webster County Public Health, Webster
County Dispatch, Webster County Sheriff and Trinity Regional Medical Center to promote preparedness via social
media.

Each Monday in September our agencies will cover
a topic via social media for the week. Week one will include
Preparing Family and Friends which discusses how to make
a family emergency plan. Week two will be Prepare Through
Service talking about our first responders and emergencyfocused organizations who serve our communities.

Week three covers Individual Preparedness by explaining actions you can take to prepare for emergencies. The
final week is Lead up to National Day of Action which is
September 30, 2016.

Unfortunately disasters can and do happen in our
state and that is why I have proclaimed September as Preparedness Month in Iowa, said Branstad. I am asking Iowans to take steps now to prepare themselves, their families,
their places of business, and their communities for any emergency.

Preparedness Month is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEMD), the Iowa Emergency Management Association (IEMA), the Safeguard Iowa Partnership (SIP) and
the National Weather Service (NWS).

During Preparedness Month, HSEMD, IEMA, and
SIP are urging Iowans to take simple steps to ensure they and
their families are prepared. Those steps are make an emergency plan, build an emergency kit, and be aware of hazards
in your area. For more on the three simple steps to preparedness, visit www.beready.iowa.gov.

Iowas Preparedness Month is held in conjunction
with National Preparedness Month, which was created by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency in response to the
Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in an effort to educate the
public on how to prepare for emergencies.

Pheasant numbers in Iowa remain

high, quail highest in 27 years
Pheasant season opens Oct. 29. . .

Iowa pheasant population similar to 2015, quail
highest in 27 years

State officials covered more than 6,000 miles of
county roads counting upland game during the first two
weeks of August and after all the species were counted,
data compiled and numbers crunched, what can Iowa
pheasant hunters expect to find this fall?

A repeat of last year.

The good news is pheasant hunters had their
best season in five years last year and they should expect
to have pretty good hunting again this year, said Todd
Bogenschutz, upland wildlife biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) who coordinates
the August roadside survey.

The survey found an average of 21 pheasants
per 30 mile route statewide, with higher counts coming
from counties crossing the state diagonally from northwest to southeast. The statewide average in 2015 was 24
pheasants per route.

To put it in perspective, our population is similar to 2007 when we harvested 630,000 roosters. Last
year we harvested 270,000 roosters. The difference is, we
had twice the hunters in 07, Bogenschutz said. If we
had 100,000 hunters last year we would have doubled the
harvest. The birds are here, we need hunters to return.

Population patterns tracked the weather. Parts
of northwest Iowa had declines due to heavy snowfall
which likely reducing pheasant survival. Parts of southwest Iowa had declines due to heavy spring rains likely
reducing nesting success. Other regions had more favorable weather and saw similar or slightly higher numbers.

Hunters can expect bird numbers similar to last
year statewide, where the right habitat exists, Bogenschutz said. We need hunters to come back if we are
going to see the harvest increase. If nothing else, they
should come back for the quail.

Iowas quail population index has been increasing recently and is now at its highest since 1989 after experiencing
increases again across south central and southwest Iowa
this year.

To put it in perspective, in 1989, we had 80,000
hunters harvest 400,000 quail. With todays modern agriculture and landscapes, this is likely the best quail numbers we can hope for, Bogenschutz said.

In 2014, 6,500 hunters shot 10,000 quail. In
2015, 10,000 hunters shot 28,000 quail.

This is the best opportunity weve had to hunt
quail in 27 years, he said. For anyone who has ever had
an interest in quail or who hasnt hunted quail recently,
this is the year to go.

Surveyors also record the numbers of cottontail
rabbits and Hungarian partridge.

Rabbit numbers were down some from their record level of the past two years but remain above their ten
year average, with better numbers in southern and eastern
Iowa. Partridge were unchanged with their best numbers
in northern Iowa, he said.

The August roadside survey is available at

Dayton Review

Dayton Labor Day Celebration;

fantastic year on so many levels

By Jesse Green

This year was a fantastic year on so many levels!
I call this year the educational year --this and future
committees will study what we did in order to run a more
efficient operation going forward. There are many ways
people try to determine what works and what doesnt in
attracting a crowd to the rodeo and make the customer
happy.

We examine everything from how we advertise
to what kind of rodeo we put on. People have a thousand different theories as to what rodeo decisions should
be made each year. The best way is to start by taking as
honest of a look as possible at the demographics that the
Dayton Rodeo can appeal and has appealed to in the past.
To start, this years attendance was 7,033 paid and 2,679
unpaid for a total attendance of 9,712.

Last winter we devised the most accurately projected budget possible at the time. For attendance projection, we averaged our last two years of paid rodeo
attendance for our base number. That number was 6,670.
I thought this was a great, logical number to have because
2 years ago we had 3 days of rain.

Last year was more of a normal year, with one
or two rain events throughout the weekend. Putting an
average year and a lower year together gives us a nice
foundation. Based off this 6,670 number, we had a 7%
increase in attendance this year. This year Mother Nature treated us very well. Im thankful for this not only
because its a joy to have great weather, but more importantly, this allows the Celebration Committee to evaluate
the crowd without weather being a factor.

One interesting thing this year: free kids day
was not very well attended. The question now becomes,
Is our night shows worth that much more than an afternoon show that people do not want to take advantage
of kids day to bring their families? I first thought that
maybe it was due to lack of advertising about the kids
day change that effected turn out. For this to be true,
there should have been lots of grumbling at the ticket
booths as to the extra cost of kids on a Saturday night.
After talking with the ticket booth people, this doesnt
appear to be the case. Our night shows are electric, fastpaced (maybe too fast paced), and rarely too hot. The
consumer loves the night shows!

This year was interesting also because of our ad-

vertising. We were able to slash our advertising because

after a few years of experimenting with different things,
our attendance didnt seem to reflect our increased investments in advertising. One year we invested a lot more in
newspapers. The next, we took some money away and
did television. Another year we did a little of everything.

As a result of this experimenting in the past, this
years experiment was to slash advertising and see if there
was a lower attendance as a result. I think its safe to say
now that until we have a different type of product, there
is no reason to spend much in advertising until we have
something new to advertise. Lets face it, weve been
putting on a rodeo for over 70 years on Labor Day weekend in Dayton, how many new people are there moving
in the area that we need to get this message to?

We did do more on Facebook than ever before
by far this year with over 4,000 followers. Facebook
has given us free and effective interaction with our established fan base, but it didnt result in much more attendance. We have to leverage the fact that we are an
established, traditional event, and we need to use this to
our advantage. I might catch some slack on this comment, but we have a very logical fact-based argument,
not a feelings-based one to back it up. As long as we
are just putting on a rodeo, we need to cut even more on
advertising. We have to conserve in this area if we expect
to make any dents in more construction efforts. The year
we have a new product, like a concert (which you never
know, it could be next year), we need to get this message
out and invest more in advertising.

Of course, every year ticket price is a topic and
rightly so. Its so important that very commonly, it turns
into a heated conversation. Why do we believe our price
is just right? 3/4ths of our attendance comes from south
of Dayton. This is fact due to surveys that past chairman
Jim Heckman did of license plates a few years ago. Customers from the Boone, Ames, Des Moines areas tend
to have higher incomes so most of them look at Dayton
as cheap entertainment. From Dayton north you tend to
have lower income customers. This is a huge challenge
when youre setting a price.

Think of how hard it is for people that run an
event like the State Fair to set their price with the huge
demographic it has coming! It doesnt surprise me to
hear a few complaints about price, and actually if there
wasnt a complaint I would say there is a problem that
we are undervaluing our product. Think of all the different products out there that consumers buy. Most popular
products are commonly questioned about their price, but
generally at the end of the day, those quality products are
bought. Why should we look at the Dayton Rodeo any
different?

Of course theres a fine line of whats too high
and too low. This is why Kemna Auto is such a valued
partner for us. There is no excuse for a local to say the
ticket price is too high when they can get two free tickets
at Kemna for a 5-minute test drive. People can come help
weed eat or paint for a ticket. At the end of the day, if
you have a car, and you go to Fort Dodge at least once
a month, there is no reason for a local to tear the rodeo
down about its price unless they just live for the sake of
wanting to argue and be bitter about something.

There have been many different committees and

many people like me that have come along with different

ideas on product, ticket prices, advertising, ect, but at
the end of the day, when we produce the best product
we possibly can, there will be somewhere around 10,000
central Iowans wanting to experience the Dayton Rodeo.
We have to continue to try to understand our demographics and ask ourselves as committee members, What is
it that this customer desires? Locals for years have debated questions like should we be amateur or pro? Are
our prices too high ? Are we spending too much money?
My hope is that the future debates in the local community
shifts to the most important debate and that is how can we
serve the customer better.

There was reports of 25-minute lines to go to the
bathroom on the west side of the hill. There were also reports of huge gaps in the parade. Will there be a local that
steps up and says, I will help move the parade along better? Will there be a local that steps up and says I will
pour more concrete for more bathrooms? Will these
types of issues be the basis for great questions that are
raised at this years annual rodeo meeting in November
? In my opinion, its time for the conversation to change
a little within the community and within the clubs. The
focus of our thoughts and actions needs to become more
about HOW and WHY we do what we do, and not so
narrowly focused on the WHAT is.

There is decades of data to prove that we have
an excellent product of which to be proud and this year is
no different! Lets begin today to make the 80th the best
yet!
Respectfully,
Jesse Green, Chair, Celebration Committee
