We've recently had a "Quick update" on facebook about our friend Tanner Nowell:
"Just got admitted to the hospital to begin the bone marrow/stem cell transplant process. I'll start with chemo for the next three days then radiation for three days. After that will be the stem cell infusion and the start of the road to recovery on Oct. 30th.
I'm in room 7.12.12 if anyone is in the area and wants to swing by."

We have a very special Dayton Leader this week - Gowrie officer John Garretson is celebrating 3 years of service as assistant jail administrator for Webster County! He has some very insightful things to say about the purpose instilled in his job. And Dayton-area native Zane Satre KCCI has won a prestigious award for the priceless job he does forecasting the weather for a central Iowa community who lives and works by the weather. We also have "Lessons of The Holocaust," a joint library program, by the amazing Courtney Sogard. And we have a special treat this week - the very talented Easton Anderson, 4th Grade student at Southeast Valley Elementary, shares his original comic strip with the Leader! Call 351-4886 to subscribe or pick up this week's paper on newsstands at Casey's in Dayton or the Dayton Library, Deck's in Pilot Mound, KC's in Stratford, Casey's in Gowrie, Otho's convenience store, and Coalville's Stop and Shop!
