About ten years ago Marcia Anderson wanted
an art studio.
She saw that just off the family room, through
the glass windows was a patio that would work perfectly.
She then decided to take her vision to the next
level by convincing her husband that she needed one.
With her husbands design, she created a studio that took
advantage of natural light. In the ceiling there is a beautiful sky light.
The studio has a beautiful natural tree-lined setting. Squirrels are often seen and sometimes jump on the
window and investigate those in the art studio.
Marcia and her students enjoy the change of the
seasons. They can watch the animals plan where they are
hiding their food for the winter.
She teaches children and adults and encourages

The Southeast Valley FFA Members were listening to the tour guide at the NCAA Hall of Champions. The building boasts of two-levels of interactive exhibits to engage visitors about the history of champions. The second level has a
1930s retro gymnasium, sport simulators and more.
Caterpillar Museum in Peoria, Illinois. We arrived into Indianapolis late on Tuesday evening.
The students toured Connor Prairie Wednesday
morning, which is an interactive history park, or living history museum, in Fishers, Indiana, that preserves the William Conner home, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and recreates part of life in Indiana
in the 19th century on the White River.
Conner Prairie was founded by pharmaceutical executive Eli Lilly in the 1930s The rest of the afternoon the
students spent their time at the convention site touring the
FFA Career Show exhibits. The day ended by attending
the Opening Session in the Bankers Fieldhouse.
The third day of the trip, the group began their morning attending two leadership workshops. In the
afternoon they toured the
NCAA Hall of Fame and
met up with the rest of the
FFA chapters and viewed
the Talent Show and attended the 3rd General Session.
The group departed
for home on Friday morning but stopped at Fair
Oaks farm in Fair Oaks,
Indiana. Fair Oaks Farms
brings Reduce, Reuse, Recycle to a whole new light.
Their entire facility runs on
cow and pig manure.
They transform their
farms waste into energy
by way of our anaerobic
digesters, by reducing their
dependency upon natural
gas and electricity during
the milk and manufacturing
process. The farm has three
different adventures for the
public: Dairy, Swine, and
Crops. The farm milks over
27,000 dairy cows on ten
different farms. They farm
over 19,000 acres of crops
and have a farrowing operation that includes 2,700
sows.
The National FFA
Organization is a national youth organization of
629,000 student members

With all the turmoil and controversy we experienced in our General election regarding the presidential race, it was tremendous to see how our state of Iowa
handled the election in terms of voting.
Iowa has definitely improved voting opportunities for its citizenry. Never before have voters been given
so many opportunities to exercise their right to vote. And
many other states are making similar improvements to
serving the needs of their voters.
In Iowa people may vote several weeks before
the election via absentee ballot. The ballot can be mailed
to voters at their home and they can vote and mail back
the ballot.
Iowa voters could also opt to vote at the Webster
County Courthouse in Fort Dodge at the Auditors office
during courthouse hours all five week days. And then
the last two Saturdays before election the Auditors office
was also open for voting.
People with physical handicaps were accommodated as they could vote in their vehicles if they had
make arrangements via phone with the Auditors office in
advance. The polling places were open on election day
from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Now more than ever before there are great opportunties to cast ones ballot. This is great for our state
of Iowa and all its great people, and great for our nation.
Many other states have made similar voting upgrades.

Jeanette Hinnman, a friend of Dales through
school finally had to tell Dale that she would have to
marry a man that was tall and a good dancer so that left
Dale out!
Later in life both Dale and Jeanette married
someone else, but both couples ended up living in Dan
Diego and the couples remained friends for life. Jeanette
since has passed.
Dale was a boy scout at 12 years old and played
the drums in parades. He was on the school basketball
team, but too short to play so he was responsible for the
care of the basketballs.

developing life skills. The disciplines include archery, rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader and
wildlife skills.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources
will release 1,500 ten to twelve inch rainbow trout in
the Webster County Conservations Moorland Pond on
Wednesday November 9th at 12:00 pm.
This is the first of two planned stockings for
Moorland Pond located on the southwest edge of Fort
CHURCH
Worship Schedule
Dodge.
The next release will take place January through
the ice.
A total of 3,000 half-pound trout will be stocked
this fall and winter, providing a popular fishery within an
urban setting.
This is a good opportunity for taking kids or
novice anglers fishing as trout tend to bite readily after
they are stocked.
Iowa residents and nonresidents who are required to have a fishing license must pay the Trout Fee
to fish for or possess trout. Exception: Iowa residents and
nonresidents under 16 years old may possess or fish for
trout without having paid the Trout Fee if they fish with
a properly licensed adult who has paid the Trout Fee and
together they limit their catch to the one person daily limit of five trout.
Children under 16 have the option to purchase
their own trout privilege, which allows them to fish without a properly licensed adult and keep their own daily
limit (5).
For more questions regarding this stocking or
fishing regulations please contact the Black Hawk Fish
Management Office at (712) 657-2638

Moisture slightly
less in October average,
average temps are higher
In Webster County, Iowa. . .
October was the first month since June for
below normal rainfall. Despite the drier month, stream
flows remain high, and groundwater conditions are predominantly good. Iowa heads now into the driest and
most hydrologically stable four months of the year.
Statewide average precipitation during October
was about 0.6 inches less than normal. Unlike the previous four months, there were no widespread excessive rain
events in Iowa. North central and northeast Iowa, which
had seen exceptionally heavy rains in the previous two
months, finally received a very welcome period of mostly
dry.
Brushy Creek Lake---Surface water temperatures are in the mid 50s. Water clarity is good. Bluegill - Fair: Anglers are picking up some bluegill in 10-15
feet of water. Use small jigs tipped with bait. Largemouth
Bass - Fair: Fish plastics and spinners near structure in
4-10 feet of water. Yellow Perch - Fair: Some perch are
being picked up near structure in 10-15 feet of water
along the creek channel.
This was the warmest October since 2007 with
temperatures averaging 4.5 degrees above normal. While
a hard freeze on October 13 ended the growing season for
much of the northwest there remain some areas including the southern Webster County area where there hasnt
been a hard freeze.
Streamflow conditions are above normal for the
majority of the state. Since the last water summary update, streamflow conditions across the south central portion of the state decreased to the normal condition.

Jim Duncan reported - PV Elem. held its annual Title I Reading Parents Mtg. on Oct. 4th.
Both of Southeast Valleys elementary schools worked together at
PV Elem. on Oct. 14ths professional development day. The morning
work was focused on PRESS reading interventions. PRESS stands
for Path to Reading Excellence in School Site. These are researchbased, contemporary interventions and supports that teachers use to
help students improve their reading skills. The afternoon consisted of all
Southeast Valleys schools teachers coming to PV Elem. for a presentation
on school safety and security. Assistant Chief Deputy, Rod Strait shared
information with our staff concerning dealing with active threats in our
buildings. We hope to have a school safety expert come into each school
location and do a walk-through of our buildings to provide an assessment
of our current plans, procedures, etc. and provide any suggestions he may
have to improve further.
Schoolwide Collaborative Intervention Block - This is something
new that I have implemented this year with our schools procedures
and schedule. Nearly everyone in our school is involved in supporting
this collaboration during this twenty minute time-frame. This serves
many benefits with increased help for students as the most important.
Additionally, this keeps our whole building directly involved with literacy
progress, increases student to adult ratios, shows our students that
everyone cares about their progress, and helps add some additional
differentiation. PVE held a fire drill on Friday, Oct. 14th. The firefighters
come in their trucks (lights and sirens) as part of the actual drill. Firefighters
brought the Smokehouse Trailer. Thank you to all of our local firefighters
for taking some of their valuable time to come to our school to help our
students learn about safety and for their support of our school. We are

Winter Sports will begin this week. Boys and Girls basketball have
had sign-ups and team meetings.
Jim Henrich submitted the October High School Board Report.
We have conducted our first Instructional Practices Inventory (IPI)

Student engagement is a district goal as well. The results of the collection
were positive and we plan to do two more the rest of the year.
The high school students attended the Iowa Central Career Fair on
October 14th. There were over 1,500 students in attendance from five
different schools in the area. It was very well organized and tailored to the
needs of 9th/10th graders and 11th/12th graders. Juniors took the Iowa
Youth Survey October 19th. This survey gives us information to measure
climate, culture and also relates tour district goals. Results will be returned
in early 2107. Parent-teacher conferences are October 25 and 27, from
4:00 to 8:00 each night.

Dale Crummer...
In May, Hitler committed suicide and the war
ended and Dale returned to San Diego.
He married and had a daughter, Karen, and
worked as a Manager of the Bank of America for 35 years
before he retired.
He loved to golf and had two hole-in-ones.
Being raised myself in a city in Southern California my whole life, I feel blessed to have met this wonderful man from Gowrie, Iowa. He is a real tribute to
Gowrie.
allies who have been protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, Sanders said.
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders sent a letter to the
White House two weeks ago urging the president to halt
the pipeline construction.
Sanders again on Wednesday of last week urged
the president to suspend all federal permits for the Dakota
Access Pipeline until the Corps of Engineers completes a
full cultural and environmental review.
The protesters at Standing Rock have insisted
all along that in addition to encroaching on their sacred
lands, the Dakota Access Pipeline will also threaten our
most important natural resource, water, Sanders said.
Thank you
FOR YOUR
VOTE!
