Kidnapping attempts
reported in Dayton,
Gowrie on Sunday
Girls are safe. . .
There were two attempted kidnappings in
Gowrie and Dayton on Sunday, Sept. 28.
The failed abduction in Gowrie was
at Brockett Park, located on the south side of
the towns business district and reported at 2:50
p.m. The girl was 12 to 13 years old. She got
away, running across the alley north to the busi-
nesses.
An unconfrmed local source reported
the girl being cut from the attempt.
Sheriff James Stubbs told local news
station KCCI someone with a ski mask ap-
proached her from the bushes and as she ran
she saw an older, white vehicle with rust, a van,
SUV or truck in the alley.
In Dayton, the kidnapping attempt was
reported at 5:09 p.m. by a girl fve to six years
old riding her bike by 3rd St. NE and 5th Ave.
NE. The Grandview Care Center is located in
that block. The man was reported following the
girl on foot.
In both attempts a man wearing a black
ski mask with the same vehicle description was
reported.
Brockett Park in Gowrie is a very popu-
lar park where Soccer is played along with Lit-
tle League sports. The north boundary of the
park is lined with bushes making it impossible
to see it. The day care right by the alley also
utilizes the park.
The 13 year old girl who was a potential
kidnapping victim Sunday in Gowrie went to
school Monday as usual and according to local
sources she walked with a group of her friends.
There was a report of a kindergarten
student not attending Monday due to Sundays
incident. There was a feld trip planned for the
kindergartners that stayed on schedule.
We need the publics help to solve these
incidents. Gowrie and Dayton are 12 miles
apart and are on Highway 175. If anyone was in
the area of either incident and saw a white van,
truck or SUV or something out of place please

Porter fles lawsuit
on 2012 accident
in Rodeo Parade
Several parties served
papers last week. . .
A lawsuit has been fled by Allen M. Porter,
Dayton, from an incident dating back to Sept.
3, 2012 during the annual Labor Day Parade.
Mr. Porter is being represented by Steven C.
Kaiser of Johnston.
Al Porter is one of three cofounders of
the Dayton Rodeo which was started in 1936.
Al was Grand Marshal of the Dayton Rodeo pa-
rade when an accident occurred.
The defendants in the case are the Day-
ton Rodeo and Celebration committee; Dayton
Wranglers Club; Dayton Community Club;
City of Dayton; SWG and Prairie Valley School
districts; Diana Hanna and Andrew Murray.
The lawsuit states that Porter was
thrown from the vehicle when the horses pull-
ing the wagon unexpectedly bolted from the
frightening noise caused by the reckless or in-
tentional drumming which caused Porter and
his unattached wheelchair to be launched out
of the vehicle, whereupon Porters head, neck,
shoulders and back struck the pavement of the
street, rendering him unconscious, seriously in-
jured and requiring emergency medical care at
the scene of the accident and ongoing medical
care thereafter.
The document continues stating that the
horses pulling the vehicle occupied by Porter
bolted, causing him to be thrown and landing
on the pavement. Porter was transported by
ambulance from the scene and treated at Trinity
Regional Medical Center. He was hospitalized,
later transferred to a nursing home then fnally
allowed to go home where he has since required
ongoing living assistance.
Mr. Porter continues to suffer from de-
clining mental and physical health resulting in
loss of enjoyment of life from the incident per-
taining to Sept. 3, 2012.
Dayton Dreamers
have champagne
birthday cake
Honoring birthdays. . .
After eating out of town for the past three
months, 22 members plus one guest met at the
Community Center on Thursday, Sep. 18th.
Our guest was Judy Sorensons daughter, Jill.
After singing the table prayer, we en-
joyed a delicious meal which was brought by
several of our members. For dessert, Claire and
Darlene Williamson brought champagne birth-
day cake and ice cream left over from Darlenes
birthday party which was celebrated September
12.
A bouquet of yellow daisies in a cop-
per vase was placed on the serving table and
brought a bit of fall for our get-together.
President Bonnie Reck opened the busi-
ness meeting by reading a thank you note from
the Community Health Center in Dayton thank-
ing us for the donation we made for the new
X-ray machine for the Clinic.
Bonnie mentioned some Meat for
Thought. In the future, it would be acceptable
to give a stipend of money to the driver of the
person who furnishes
a ride to the various
places where we eat.
A motion was
made, seconded and
passed that we raise
our cost of our noon
meal from $5.00 to
$6.00 in the future.
The follow-
ing people were hon-
ored for their Sep-
tember birthdays:
.Darlene Williamson
and Marge Collen
celebrated their birth-
days on September
12, and Jerry Blair
will celebrate his
birthday on Sept. 22.
Darlene Williamson
thanked us all for the
birthday cards, gifts.
and their presence at
her surprise birthday

The kidnapping stories are bizarre and cer-
tainly unconventional.
This isnt some sinister, perverted per-
son who uses guile to outwit the children he is
targeting. There doesnt seem to be much plan-
ning involved, or technique.
Nonetheless it is horrifying to all par-
ents and school children in our school districts.
Someone must have information on the
person or persons who are terrifying our school
children. If you have information, please call
the Webster County Sheriffs Department or our
local police departments which are listed else-
where in our newspapers (Dayton Review and
Gowrie News) on our website, daytongowri-
enews.com and on our Facebook page.
These acts of abduction are very bra-
zen as kidnapping attempts have been made
in broad daylight. It doesnt seem to matter if
there are other children or even parents in the
vicinity. Does this person have some type of
mental condition? How many people are in-
volved? Has anyone seen a license plate num-
ber?
There are many questions and very few
answers at this point. People who have any type
of information which may be helpful need to
call law enforcement.
And everyone needs to work together.
We can, and we must, ensure the safety of all
our children. They are much too precious.
