DAYTON–The 3-3 Dayton Bulldog Football team will most likely finish in fourth place in the SE 1B-8 Wheat Division. Post-season brackets show that the play-in game between the fourth- and fifth-place teams will be November 1.

DAYTON–The Dayton Chronicle is recommending a "yes" vote on the Swimming Pool District's Proposition No. 1. We enjoy so many wonderful attributes in our community-one thing we're lacking is a swimming pool. The current pool bit the dust-literally-in 2018. Pool decking had settled, the gutter needed cracks repaired, and the City Council voted unanimously to close it. After a year out of operation, the City was required to fill the tank with dirt. Subsequent estimates placed the cost of repairs in...
I have been watching and listening to arguments over the presumptive utilization of a governing plan called Project 2025. I have read most of Project 2025.

The process of shearing sheep (usually yearly) doesn’t hurt the sheep but they don’t like it. They are put in a variety of uncomfortable positions and appear much different (seemingly humiliated) afterwards. Sometimes sheep are purposely deprived of food and water so that they are too weak to struggle against the process. Most often they are silent. The Bible teaches that Jesus is the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. Like a sheep, He was willingly shorn of all His rights, even to the point of death. “He was oppressed and a...

TEKOA–The Bulldogs fell behind by two touchdowns in the first quarter then rallied to defeat the Timberwolves 34-26 here last week. Dayton's make-up game against St. John-Endicott/LaCrosse last Monday was forfeited by SJEL on game day due to SJEL's lack of players, leaving the Dawgs with a 3-3 record and the last regular-season game coming up Friday against league champion Pomeroy.
