Southeast Valley High School presents JohnCariani’s “Almost, Maine”. The performance is on April15 and 16 at 7 p.m. at the high school in Gowrie.

“Almost Maine is a series of nine amiably ab-surdest vignettes about love, with a touch of good-na-tured magic realism.

This production is witty, romantic, unsentimen-tal. A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise end-ings (most but not all of them happy).

Forced price reductionto Worsen USPSFinancial ConditionBy $2 Billion per year...

Absent Congressional or court action to extendor make permanent an existing exigent surcharge formailing products and services – including the Foreverstamp -- the Postal Service was required to reduce cer-tain prices on Sunday, April 10, 2016.

This mandatory action will worsen the PostalService’s financial condition by reducing revenue andincreasing its net losses by approximately $2 billion peryear. “The exigent surcharge granted to the PostalService last year only partially alleviated our extrememulti-year revenue declines resulting from the Great Re-cession, which exceeded $7 billion in 2009 alone,” saidPostmaster General and CEO Megan J. Brennan.

“Removing the surcharge and reducing ourprices is an irrational outcome considering the PostalService’s precarious financial condition.” An order from the Postal Regulatory Commis-

sion (PRC) requires the 4.3 percent exigent surchargeto be reversed after the Postal Service has collected sur-charges totaling $4.6 billion.

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

Postal Service prices for Mailing Services arecapped by law at the rate of inflation as measured by theConsumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U). USPS price reduction continued on page 4...

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

That was the case when the Postal Servicesought and ultimately received approval for the currentexigent pricing, citing the severe effects of the Great Re-cession on Postal Service mail volume. However, the PRC did not accept the views ofthe Postal Service concerning the extent of the harm re-sulting from the Great Recession, and the PRC strictly

limited the period of time that the Postal Service couldcontinue to collect the exigent surcharge.While the Postal Service has experienced rapid growth inpackage volume over the past few years, it is not nearlyenough to offset the decline in revenues from Market-Dominant products, especially First-Class Mail. Brennan added that the Postal Service’s current

College FundingForcaster ToolHelps families project costs...

Families preparing for college now have accessto a unique, new online tool that provides an estimatedtotal cost of a four-year undergraduate degree, based onstudents’ freshmen year award packets.

Developed by Iowa Student Loan®, the CollegeFunding Forecaster helps students calculate estimatedcosts, funding gaps and potential student debt.

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

Created to help students consider how costs, aidand their own contributions will change over the courseof their college career, the tool provides users with infor-

ational tips to reduce costs and potential debt based onpersonal circumstances. “Most people wouldn’t order a four-course mealonly knowing the price of the appetizer, yet that’s how

any families treat the process of financing college,”

said Steve McCullough, president and CEO of Iowa Stu-dent Loan.“The College Funding Forecaster uses infor-

ation found in the financial aid award packet providedannually by colleges, and other financial informationunique to the student to calculate an estimated collegecost for four years.

Using results generated by the tool, familieshave the opportunity to discuss funding options and cre-ate a plan for financing the entire degree process.” The College Funding Forecaster is part of a suiteof smart borrowing tools offered by Iowa Student Loanon its website, www.IowaStudentLoan.org.

Other tools include Student Loan Game PlanSMand ROCI Reality Check and Tool. Since 2010, StudentLoan Game Plan has been helping students understand

the effects of borrowing too much for college. ROCIReality Check provides information about the return oncollege investment, or ROCI, students can expect fromdegrees in specific majors. Student Loan Game Plan and ROCI Real-ity Check are required aspects of all Iowa Student Loanscholarship and giveaway program registrations.

Student Loan Game Plan is also a required com-ponent of any Iowa Student Loan private student loan ap-plication. During the past three years, use of Student LoanGame Plan within loan applications has helped more than1,500 applicants reduce their intended loan amount byapproximately $5 million. “Our mission is to provide students and familieswith the resources necessary to succeed in postsecond-ary education,” said McCullough. “By developing thesesmart borrowing tools that encourage students to take abroader view of their college plans, explore their financ-ing options and seek additional methods for funding theireducation, such as working part-time, we hope they canbecome less reliant on student loans. If student loans arenecessary, these tools will have provided ways for thestudent to graduate with a manageable amount of studentdebt.” To access the College Funding Forecaster, haveyour award letter ready and visit www.IowaStudentLoan.org/Forecaster.

“What God Wants Us to Do”

Do we ever wonder about what God wants usto do? Sunday will be coming up in a few days, so Ifeel 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.Here’s what my list might look like – ‘God wants meto worship Him, to thank Him, to love Him, to read HisWord each day, and to tell others about Him. These are

just a few of the things I believe He wants me to do. Godhelps us in so many ways. Maybe we should make a listfor those things too. I know our blessings are endless andHe never stops loving us. We need to remember to dothings God wants us to do as His children. Prayer: Lord, we sometimes take You forgranted and forget to do things for You. It is only simplethings You want us to do – nudge us when we forget. InJesus Holy Name, Amen

On April 29 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. the WebsterCounty Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Ad-ministration (DEA) will give the public its 11th opportu-nity in six years to prevent pill abuse and theft by riddingtheir homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused,and unwanted prescription drugs.

Bring your pills for disposal to Family Phar-macy at 21 S Main S. (The DEA cannot accept liquidsor needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service isfree and anonymous, no questions asked. Family Pharmacy in Dayton will also be takingback 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 3,800of its state and local law enforcement partners.When those results are combined with what was collectedin its 10 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partnershave taken in over 5.5 million pounds—more than 2,750tons—of pills.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. arealarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poison-ings and overdoses due to these drugs.

Studies show that a majority of abused prescrip-tion drugs are obtained from family and friends, includ-ing from the home medicine cabinet.

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

pricing system, where products that generate roughly 76percent of its revenues fall under the statutory price cap,is fundamentally unsuited to the Postal Service’s currentbusiness environment in which First-Class Mail volumecontinues to decline and the network costs required toprovide universal service continue to rise.

According to Brennan, “our current pricing re-gime is unworkable and should be replaced with a systemthat provides greater pricing flexibility and better reflects

the economic challenges facing the Postal Service.”The surcharge removal means that First-ClassMail prices will be adjusted. Commercial prices will alsodecrease. A complete listing of the new prices, effectiveApril 10, is available at www.usps.com.

Dayton Review

Spring has sprung; the grass has riz; Wonderwhere the flowers iz! That’s an old old saying. EasterSunday, a bit cooler than we would have liked, has comeand gone. I have yet to see one of my springtime omens,my little yellow dandelion but that’s probably becausethey have finally sprayed enough around my building toward off their appearing under my nose or foot this year.But – about a week and a half before Easter I came outof the church and on the south side there it was, the firstsmall daffodil of the year poking its bit of greenery andlittle yellow head about 8 inches above the ground. It wasa chilly, windy, misty day and it was bobbing around asif to say, “I’m here, and I am going to stay! Within afew days a half a dozen or so others joined it. Spring wascoming! I tried to remember past years. I had to remindmyself that this year Easter Sunday was quite early so weshouldn’t compare to other years. I do remember one yearwhen my cousin’s family was hosting a family dinner. Itwas a dreary, chilly, breezy, wet day but we all made it.My cousin and her family from Marshalltown attendedand here she came in her high heels, trying to dodge theelements, mud and puddles to gain access to that farmhouse. Somehow she made it, all the time holding on toher ultra-wide brimmed white straw hat. But that was her.We all had a good time and over ate as usual and overtalked and over laughed, sharing things of each of ourfamilies as we always did. Another year it was so nice and it had been amore laid back day than usual. Probably my aunt anduncle, cousin’s family and my mom, dad and I had a noonrepast and then retired home early for some rest. It was abeautiful, warm day and I walked over to my friend, Vir-ginia’s home later in the afternoon. Near supper time herMom announced it would be a good time for a little pic-nic. So she packed up the simple Sunday supper planned

When it's springtime in Iowa...

and we all went up on the “hill” east of Boxholm, Stark’splace east of Glenn’s (then John’s) place. We spread ablanket and laid out the repast and enjoyed it as the sunsent its welcome rays down on us. In my day, as we oldsters say, farm plantingusually didn’t start until well into April. Hopefully someof the fall plowing had been done and spring final ready-ing had been completed. The corn planters had beenchecked out to make sure they would operate properlyand there were a couple teams of horses around to beavailable to pull the load. Thus on the warmer daysof spring came the ker-chunk, ker-chunk and the acrespiled up. Now to await the first little sprouts and soonthe first cultivating. These days many acres are plantedmuch quicker and earlier. But when that routine beganfor us we knew that spring had sprung and summer wason its way. Thinking of spring reminds me of my earlyDes Moines years. I worked for the YMCA for a coupleyears and had the privilege of attending several ses-sions of co-ed camps for young adults up at the Y Campnear Boone. Those were fun times. We’d have squaredances, campfires, singing, story telling, etc. One youngman, whose name escapes me now, was quite a storyteller, ad-libber, song leader etc. I do recall a song hetaught us and have sung it to my children and others overthe years. It is to the tune of Springtime in the Rockies.“When it’s Springtime in Alaska and it’s ninety-nine be-low; When the Eskimo go barefoot o’er the ever driftingsnow; When the polar bears get sunburned and begin tolose their hair; When it’s Springtime in Alaska, then I’llchange my underwear.” What are your spring memories and hopes? It’shere; just taking its own Iowa time to fully show its face.HAPPY SPRING

This Week in the Senate Most of the action in the chamber this week wason Wednesday when we debated over 20 bills. We alsopassed Senate Resolution 109, commemorating April 6,2016, as the 25th anniversary of the conclusion of Opera-tion Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Work in the Legislaturethis week was primarily behind the scenes as budget com-promises were made. As we move appropriations bills inthe coming days, it’s important to highlight the need forfiscal responsibility and sustainable budgeting practices.The taxpayer’s hard-earned money must be spent care-fully and sensibly. Information for Veterans

The Senate passed unanimously a bill Wednes-day to help our state’s veterans find jobs and give themthe resources they need to be successful once they comehome. Veterans are currently entitled to preferenceover others in hiring for many public sector jobs. Thisbill, HF 2415, creates a veterans preference clearinghouseestablished at Workforce Development for the purpose ofproviding information regarding the preference. The de-partment is to work with the Attorney General regardinginformation on enforcement of the preference. The De-

partment, the Attorney General, and The Department of Veterans Affairs are all to provide information regardingthe preference on their websites.

This would give veterans a central place to getthe information they need on job openings and interviewinformation. I am proud to support any way, big or small,we can support our veterans. Bill on Treating Overdose Victims signed At the beginning of March, the Senate passedSenate File 2218, an Act relating to the possession andadministration of emergency drugs by first respondersand other persons in a position to assist for purposes of treating drug overdose victims and including contingentimplementation provisions. This bill passed both theIowa Senate 48-0 on March 8, 2016 and the Iowa House93-2 on March 23.

The bill allows family members or friends tohave access to a prescription drug which can be admin-istered to someone they know who has overdosed onheroin or another opioid. This is a good bill I’m happy to have supportedin the Senate. I’m glad to see the Governor sign this billto help victims and their loved ones. Education agreement signed by Governor Two weeks ago, the Senate took up Senate File174 and Senate File 175, setting supplemental state aidfor this year after an agreement was decided on betweenthe House and Senate. On Wednesday, Governor Branstad signed thebills putting the final touch on the education compromisefor FY17. This agreement consisted of an increase of over

$150 million for schools, including over $50 million forthe Teacher Leadership and Compensation Program.Dedicating over half our budget to education is a clearsign 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 billexpands the definition of stalking to include by electronicmeans and includes conduct that would make a personfeel terrorized, frightened, intimidated or threatened of bodily injury or death. Current law only requires a personto fear injury or death. The bill also makes an unauthorized placing ofa GPS, meaning a device with the intent to intimidate,annoy or alarm another person, a serious misdemeanor.The bill additionally:

By Alice Johnson

The bold headlines of a newspaper article writ-ten a few years ago claimed that “Hardworking, No-non-sense people make up Lehigh.” One such person was res-ident Gordon E. Plahn, nicknamed 'Gordie', and to othershe was known as 'Duke'. He epitomized that concept andlived a life that was full and productive. Gordon was anambitious man and dabbled at various projects during hislife. Gordon was born on November 28, 1926 inDayton, the son of Oscar and Jane (Anderson) Plahn.He and his two siblings, brother Harold and sister Es-ther, attended the Dayton Community School during theirchildhood years. He completed school only through the

seventh grade. He stated that he learned a lot through the'school of hard knocks'.

Gordon had many funny stories about his teen-age years. One such memory was the time he got snakesfrom Lake Ole in Dayton and let them loose in the Day-ton movie theater. He was full of life and was known forhis mischieviousness. Gordon was drafted into the Army in late 1944shortly 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 hisfellow soldiers were sent to California and then home onfurlough for a month. He was later called to board a shipwith 3,000 other soldiers to France. Unfortunately they were hit by a ferocious stormin the North Atlantic resulting in sea sickness by every-one on the ship. While Plahn was in Germany, he ran ahuge wrecker and policed the autobahn cleaning up and

hauling guns and tanks in Dachan Concentration Campthat the Germans had confiscated. He witnessed the re-sults of the Holocaust first handedly and although he wasonly 19 years old at the time, he states that he could 'read-ily cope with it'.

Plahn was discharged two years after he wasdrafted and he said he wouldn't trade the experience fora million dollars but he also wouldn't want to do it again.Plahn states that the images in Germany never botheredhim. He remembers them but they do not haunt him. After being honorably discharged in 1946, hetraveled with a carnival for three years. In 1949 he mar-ried Shirley Ann Collins and lived in Ft. Dodge for a time.To this union two sons and one daughter were born. Heworked as a truck driver for 15 years and later he workedas a mechanic and service manager for Tom Kelly Ford

for 14 years. In April 1972, he married Nadeane Long andlived in Dayton until moving to Lehigh in 1974 wherethey owned and operated Gambles Hardware Store untilthey retired in 1989. Gordon loved raising animals. He raised chin-chillas, birds, goats, cats, guinea pigs and wild turkeys.He also raised many different breeds of dogs. He andNadeane owned the Morning Glory Kennel outside ofDayton. He and Nadeane loved to dance the polka andwere on tv once performing their favorite dance. Gordonalso loved to go hunting, fishing, and woodworking. Hewas very inventive and came up with many devices tohelp him in life. He helped his grandson Kirk, build aseed-saver bird feeder. He also made his own box turkey

calls.Gordon E. Plahn He loved to shootguns and owned manytypes including black pow-

der and packed his own loads. He enjoyed dressing upin buckskins and participating in black powder reenact-ments. Gordon was always active in his community. Hewas a member of the Lehigh Christian Church and was

the Mayor of Lehigh for four years. During his reign hepurchased the yellowish green fire truck for Lehigh. Thesalesman told him it was the color for future trucks sinceit was more visible and there were already many red ve-hicles on the road. It was unique like Gordon.

Thirty years later a new fire truck was purchasedwhen Gordon's grandson Kirk was the Lehigh Fire Chief.He and Nadeane also selected the new street lights onMain Street. He was active on the River Days committee,member of the Lions Club for 30 years, member of theLehigh Museum and also the now defunct Lehigh AreaDevelopment Group (LAD, for short). Gordon truly exemplified the importance ofthe value of community service and volunteering. It wasstanding room only when his funeral service was held

January 4, 2014. He had resided at the Stratford Nursingand Rehab Center since July 2011 and passed away on

ing down main street, scattering the towns people. It was quite an ordeal for the farmers to get hislivestock ready to be shipped to market. The stock washerded to town (both hogs and cattle), by men on horse-back.

The towns people always dreaded this move-ment, as the stock would trample gardens and lawns. Thestockyards were located near the C. and NW Railroad. The first sidewalks in town were made of lum-ber. Some were laid lengthways, and others built up togive better protection from the mud.

Some sidewalks were made of brick, laid in dif-ferent patters some of which are still in use today. One fellow that used the walks, both morningand 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 hadno fresh vegetables in their stores. “Vegetable Miller”.supplied those who didn’t have their own gardens. withfresh vegetables.

He would come with his spring wagon, loadedwith supplies, from his garden. Two or three times aweek. For his regular customers he would ring his bell,and the housewives could go out and select from his widevariety. The few groceries that used to be delivered inthe earlier days, were pushed around in 2-wheeled carsby the grocer himself. Some merchants had their own ice houses, butthe 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 summeruse. Imagine not being able to get a cold drink of waterwithout going to a well and having to pump two or threepails of water before drinking.

The ice from the lake was used in ice boxes tokeep foods cold, but could not be used for drinking pur-poses. Later, ice was manufactured which could be put indrinks.

Mr. C. J. Danielson and his workshop in the north partof Dayton. He manufactured extra heavy and extremelydurable Brooms, and other items. He also served this areaas a Veterinarian for years.

Industry in Dayton"Believe it or not" in its history We are borrowing this by line from Ripley toacquaint the younger generations with things that used tobe, and bring back memories to the oldsters. On Sundays and holidays Oak Park was the cen-ter of attraction for the community. On what is now thegolf course, they had ball games and horse races and pac-ing races.

Teams from both neighboring and distant townsplayed the Dayton teams. There was a large grandstand,with a roof over it, to accommodate the fans, which wasnearly always filled to capacity. The 4th of July celebrations were also held inOak Park and people came from far and near in theirspring wagons, and surries. There was plenty of food,

which each family bringing picnic dinners and eatingwith their neighbors. There was always a special speakerfor the day. Out of town bands came and they along withDayton’s band gave concerts. The children enjoyed pea-nuts, crackerjacks and firecrackers, which were legal atthat time. Before consolidation, their school plays, pro-grams and declam contests were held above the Ureliusbuilding. Then known as “Johnson’s Hall”. Movies werealso held there at one time, and wrestling matches ap-peared there too. While talking on the subject of schools, the boysdid not wear jeans to school, as they were consideredwork clothes.

After consolidation, the town fellows got the

idea of wearing jeans to school which did not set wellwith the faculty and they were dismissed for the day. Summer Chautauqua was quite an event in Day-ton. These were held in a large tent put up on the S. W.corner of the grade school lawn. Here lectures and enter-tainment were given afternoons and evenings. It is hard to imagine the main street of town hubdeep in mud, during the rainy season and hitching postsin front of the stores. A large watering trough was locatedin the south part of the street for water the horses. There were three livery stables in Dayton andfrequently the horses would bread loose and go thunder-

Iowa Soybean Associationlaunches Soy Scholarsprogram

High School studentsencouraged to apply...

High school students considering an ag-relatedcareer are encouraged to participate in the Iowa SoybeanAssociation (ISA) Soy Scholars program launching thismonth at the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference in Ames,April 18-19. Four students will be selected to participate inthe 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-onexperience, ask questions and make connections. “ISA is looking to engage with young leadersand provide opportunities for them to learn more aboutthe soy value chain,” said Wayne Fredericks, ISA presi-dent and farmer from Osage.

“The key word here is ‘opportunities.’ As I lookback on my career, it was the opportunities provided andconsequently taken that made all the difference to me.” Soy Scholars, which allows students to explorecareer paths before they graduate high school or declare acollege major, is offered with the support of Latham Hi-Tech Seeds.

Company vice-presient Shannon Latham, whograduated from Iowa State University after double-ma-

joring in agricultural journalism and public service andadministration in agriculture, said she’s excited to helpshowcase the wide-array of ag-related careers available. “Soy Scholars is an opportunity for students to

get real-world experience and gain a competitive edgebefore even going off to college,” said Latham.

“They’ll gain insights about an industry thataren’t readily available online or in a textbook. And justas importantly, these students will meet some of ourstate’s top agricultural leaders who farm or work in agri-business.” One out of every five Iowans work in an agri-culture- related job, according to a 2014 study. Iowa’sagriculture industry contributes one out of every threedollars in Iowa’s economy, or 33 percent of the total stateeconomy. This sizable contribution offers more than afew opportunities for Iowa youth. For more information or to apply, visit the ISAbooth at the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference or go towww.iasoybeans.com/SoyScholars. Applications are due

Show Supportfor Military Kids Wear Purple April 15...

One day of purple and an official month of rec-ognition are simple ways to show support for Iowa’smilitary children and families whose sacrifices continueyear-round, say human sciences specialists with IowaState University Extension and Outreach.

Iowans can join people throughout the countrywho will be wearing purple on Friday, April 15. CalledPurple Up Day, it’s part of the Month of the MilitaryChild, an annual invitation to show appreciation for mili-tary children and recognize their strengths and commit-ment. The color purple is used because it symbolizesall branches of the military. It is the combination of Armygreen, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red andNavy blue. Joy Rouse, along with Kim Brantner and DavidBrown, specialize in family life issues. The three ISUExtension and Outreach specialists work with Iowa Join-ing Community Forces to provide resources for militaryfamilies. “Military families in Iowa don’t have the same

support system that many other military families have,”Rouse said. “They aren’t living on a military base. Infact, they often may live far away from the duty station orNational Guard armory where their family members areserving.” Children in military families experience bigchanges in their lives, Brantner said. A parent can be outof reach for long periods of time, and when he or she re-turns, both parent and child must readjust. For example,a parent may come home with an injury that may or maynot be visible. The parent may look or act differently thanthe child remembers. In addition, military families may have to moveoften, leaving familiar places for a new home. Childrenof single parents may have to adjust to a new primarycaregiver who lives in a different area, Brown noted.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreachhas resources for military families available online at-www.extension.iastate.edu/humansciences/content/mili-tary-families. “We also provide access to publications withideas individuals and organizations can use to supportmembers of the military, veterans and their families intheir communities,” Rouse said. “Each issue providesevidence-based guidance on how a particular group canhelp, with short, practical suggestions and links to addi-tional resources.” For more information, contact Joy Rouse,

Iowa Utilities approveconstruction permit forDakota Access Pipeline

Group remains opposed

to Bakken pipeline

Mike Ralston, President of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry, commended the IUB on their an-nouncement:

On behalf of the Iowa Association of Businessand Industry (ABI), I commend the Iowa Utilities Board(IUB) for approving construction of the Dakota AccessPipeline through our state. ABI, which has been a uni-fied voice for business in Iowa since 1903, recognizesthe value this project brings to our region in terms of new

jobs, increased tax revenue, economic growth and afford-

able fuel to power local manufacturing, agricultural andother fuel-reliant businesses.The sooner construction of the pipeline pro-

ceeds, the sooner Iowa businesses and employees willbegin to reap the economic benefits of the project. Dwight Baldwin, President of the Iowa StateGrange, applauded the approval the approval: The Iowa State Grange applauds the Iowa Utili-ties Board approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Da-kota Access represents an opportunity for Iowa to benefitfrom American energy that will help lower farmers’ coststhroughout our state.

We are pleased this project will be constructedin a manner that puts agricultural interests at the forefrontof construction plans and will respect the integrity of ourland. Dawn Carlson, President and CEO of the Petro-leum Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa, statedthe following on the news of the approval: The Petroleum Marketers & ConvenienceStores of Iowa is proud to see the Iowa Utilities Boardgreen-light the Dakota Access pipeline project.

The Dakota Access Pipeline will continue togrow Iowa’s economy by increasing energy access foragriculture and industry as well as create new opportuni-ties for workers within our own association, as well asthe laborers and manufacturers required to construct thisproject.

The Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) has granteda permit which would allow Dakota Access to build a347-mile crude oil pipeline that would slice through themiddle of Iowa; however, the Bakken Pipeline Resis-tance Coalition (BPRC) and its 28 statewide memberorganizations remain committed to ensuring the BakkenPipeline is never built. Jonas Magram of Fairfield, Iowa’s No BakkenHere, has expressed concern regarding the efficacy of theIUB permitting process: “From the first day of its public hearing in No-vember, through its ongoing deliberations, the Board hasdemonstrated how woefully unprepared and unqualified

it is to assess a project of this magnitude,” Magram says.“Even to consider granting a private Texas oil companythe right to force Iowa landowners to give up their prop-erty rights is a slap in the face to all Iowans who treasureour rights as citizens. Echoing this view is Mark Edwards, of Boone,who attended all of the IUB public deliberations. “Duringtheir several days of public deliberations, Board mem-bers Huser, Jacobs, and Wagner have spent very littletime actually deliberating the realities of an oil pipelinecarrying up to 26 million gallons --- of toxic crude oildaily through Iowa. The Board has not required even abasic environmental and cultural impact statement, and

was fully content to make its ruling without this criticalinformation.” According to the IUB, over 250 landowners,many of whom are farmers, have refused to enter into vol-untary easements. Now that the IUB has granted Dakota

Access the power of eminent domain, Iowa law grantsthose landowners the right to challenge the company’sauthority in court. This is exactly the kind of private de-velopment project the Iowa Legislature had in mind whenit placed severe restrictions on the taking of farmland byeminent domain. Meanwhile, the stock of Dakota Access’ parentcompany, Energy Transfer Partners, continues to plum-met as oil supplies outstrip demand, raising the specterthat Dakota Access itself may become insolvent and un-able to cover damages related to the pipeline’s construc-tion and operation of its pipeline, damages many feel areinevitable. In granting the permit to Dakota Access, theIUB has failed to acknowledge evidence presented tothem by the intervenors objecting to the project -- includ-ing evidence detailing a myriad of economic, environ-

mental, and community risk. Angie Carter, of the Women, Food and Agri-culture Network, sums up the opposition’s position thisway: “We will not allow this crude oil pipeline throughour farmlands. We will not allow our communities’ watersupplies to be put at risk. We will not give in to a bullyingpipeline company. We will continue to stand with Iowalandowners to protect their rights and the well-being of all Iowans.” The Bakken Pipeline Resistance Coalition is astatewide coalition of organizations representing land-owners, community members, non-profits, and inter-est groups united to stop the construction of the BakkenPipeline.
