Jaguars lose first game to hot shooting


Alta-Aurelia; Jags still have good moments

The Southeast Valley Jaguars were outplayed
Friday night at Gowrie as they were defeated by AltaAurelia 63-38. It was the first loss of the season for the
varsity boys who now have an 8-1 record.

The Jaguars didnt have a good night shooting
and Alta-Aurelia was clicking on all cylinders.

Alta had a slim three point after one quarter, 14-

11, but then Alta-A opened up a 29-18 lead at the half and
had a commanding 47-30 lead at the end of three.

We didnt show up to play tonight, said one
Jag coach.

And yet the Jaguars had flashes of the team that
had been undefeated.

Nolan Brand made a nice field goal just inside
the three point line and turned around and got a fast break
and an easy lay-up adding four quick points.

Both teams were very quick and it was a fast
paced game. The referees were calling the fouls tight.

And then the Jaguars went cold. They were
making lots of shot attempts but nothing was going in!

Nolan Johnson drilled a three and then Kaleb
Jondle made a rebound, and subsequently threw up a half
court shot attempt at the first quarter buzzer.

In the second quarter the Jags couldnt seemingly make a shot.

Myles Davis made a jump shot and turned
around with a steal and layup for another two points.

Kaleb Jondle was fouled late in the second quarter and made both free throw shots.

Alta answered with a three pointer to end the
first half and SV trailed by 11.

The Jaguars played tough defense to start the
second half and Jondle drilled a deep three.

But Alta just didnt miss hitting many threes all
night.

Kaleb Jondle drove in the paint with some fancy
foot work and completed a layup. He made a few more
drives for layups.

Keegan Goodwin made a three at the end of the
quarter but the Jags were still down 47-30.

Jondle grabbed a rebound to start the second
half and made a quick pass down court to Myles Davis
who dribbled in for the layup. It was nice to see the Jaguars converting a fast break opportunity.

Glad I brought the mukluks...



Christmas night, 2016 in the Des Moines area
was exceptionally mild and misty/ foggynot exactly
normal but it WAS Iowa. I was listening to the evening
national news and they told of heavy snows and people
being stranded around different parts of the country. We
do live in a country where we can find different kinds
of weather, especially this time of year. It brought back
another memory of a Christmastime past, only the second
time I made an extended holiday trip.

`It was actually the day after Christmas that we
left by car for the San Diego area. My friend and I each
had a son serving in the Navy at that citys Naval Base,
mine on a submarine and his on an aircraft carrier. My
friends other son and pregnant wife were going along.
The weather was fairly nice all the way down I-35 to I-40
and actually near Amarillo. We had stopped at Amarillo
for gas and food and while inside some mist began to
fall. Shortly after we left Amarillo the mist turned in to
snow flurries and before we knew it a full fledged almost
blizzard. The ditches filled level with the roadway, then a
car off here and another there and a stranded semi rig. It
was the days of CBs and truckers were reporting to one
another and the general traffic. We had a CB and were
listening in. The storm worsened and we heard one trucker to another reporting, Yeah, we slid off and are still
upright. Well be okay; got plenty of fuel and can keep
warm and mama has the coffee pot on. The drivers
wife as along on this trip and so he had company.

Finally, we saw a road sign, Food Lodging
Next Exit and could still see the road to turn off. We
found the small town; dont remember the name and there
was a restaurant across from which was the lodging, a
1940s era single cabins motel. On checking, there was
one available any port in a storm. We had to drive a way
to reach the cabin and snow was fairly high. NOW they
all quit laughing at me for including my mukluks (those
high top winter boots popular 30 or so years ago.) Guess
who got to plow the path to the door. We checked it out
it was clean - linoleum floors, 1940s furnishings, HOT
water and clean/fresh towels and bedding. Yes, a port in
the storm. We decided to eat the snacks we were carrying
and be satisfied with tap water to drink.

Early the next morning we noted that the snow
had almost stopped just a few flakes still falling which in
Iowa would have been no problem. Back home we would
have awakened to see the streets and roadways cleared
for driving. Here --
NOTHING!! Across the way
we noticed the restaurant was apparently open and hoped
to get a good big breakfast before heading on west. When
we arrived over there we noted a number of Texas highway maintenance trucks parked and thought Wow they
have been out cleaning roads and are now in here to have
some food and coffee. We had our breakfasts and getting ready to leave asked about the roads on west. We
were informed they were still pretty much snow covered.
Puzzled, we inquired if they and others had been out
clearing. The reply, Oh, we dont go out in weather like
this. You will probably have better driving when you get
to Santa Rosa (New Mexico). They send their equipment
out.

We did make it into New Mexico and it was
a bit better. When we got back down out of the mountains things were a lot better. Reaching a California border town we put the son and daughter in law on a bus to
Northern California to visit relatives and travelled on to
San Diego where we each had great few day visits with
our sons and families. While there my son, wife, thier
son and daughter and I went up into the mountains to the
quaint town of Julian.

They have a lot of interesting shops and the
town reflects their history as an early California mining
settlement. We parked the car near a vacant lot where a
fresh blanket of snow had not been disturbed. It did look
a lot like a billowy white soft blanket of cotton. My five
year old grandson saw it and as soon as he was out of the
car went running into it, tripping and falling flat on his
face.

He jumped up and with big eyes of surprise
said, Ooh! Thats cold! He had been born in Iowa but
didnt remember winters here. I enjoyed the scenery as it
changed from the warmth of the ocean side to the beauty
of the snowy mountains and visiting the quaint shops of
Julian but was glad to get back down to San Diego where
I could spend a few more days of warmth before heading
back to wintry Iowa.

While we had a little testy driving situation on
the trip out to California, I did enjoy the time with my son
and family. But, after a couple Christmastime traveling
experiences I decided not again and have kept my word
to myself. After that I went by air if winter travelling and
left the road trips to better weather months.

To those of you who are planning to spend some
wintry months in warmer climates, I wish you a safe, un-

eventful trip, especially if you are driving to your destinations. Just have your Review forwarded or catch us
on line. Happy, Safe Wintering.

Do Not Disturb

When it comes to serving our fellow man, most


of us tend to live with a mindset that posts a Do Not Disturb sign over our hearts. We think - Im too busy.
Leave me alone. I dont want to get involved. Ive
got my own problems. Our world today is overrun with
this attitude. Its all about me. But as one Christian
author said A meaningful life begins when we realize
its not all about us. Its all about God. When we get to
know Jesus Christ, and begin to worship God and serve
Him, we realize the way we serve God is to serve our fellow man especially those in need, and there seems to be
an abundance of these people in this day and age.
The thought that its all about me is incredibly selfish,
and it leads to emptiness and spiritual death. Real living
begins when we start to know God and serve Him totally.
Serving God means serving others. Its one of the keys to
discovering your life purpose.

Prayer: Lord, set our thinking straight and allow us to understand that it isnt all about me. Help us
to look around and see the opportunities of serving others. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen.

It's your life...

Paton woman, 94, passed civil


civil exam in Fort Dodge
To become Postal Clerk in Paton for 20 years. . .
By Jill Viles

Aletha Ruth, 94, Paton, was married and
a mother of two children and for many years was a
school teacher.

One female student was very fond of Aletha
as a teacher
and she cried
when
she
found out she
had to move
school
districts. Aletha
admits
she
cried as well.
This love for
her
teacher
endured for
many years,
and this same
student traveled from Illinois to meet up with her teacher
just a few years ago.

Though she loved teaching, Alethas pending
marriage would soon take her in a different direction.
She had known her future husband, Ron, for a long time
as they were raised in the same area.

Ron had grown up on a farm between Paton and
Churdan. Their lives converged as he worked at Alice
Chamlers Place doing tractor repair. Aletha served as
bookkeeper. Though Ron left to serve in WWII, they
married soon after his return.

Over the next seven years, Aletha was busy
keeping house and raising two pre-school children, Caroline, born in 1950 and Steve, born in 1947. One day a
gentlemen she went to school with named Henry Kelly,
or Bud as everyone called him, inquired if she would
like to return to work as a bookkeeper.

Aletha was unsure about the decision, and found
her husband ambiguous as well. He said, Its up to you.
You can work or not. The decision is up to you.

Aletha decided to pursue the bookkeeping position though she admits the books were a mess. Bud
Kelly got Russ Norine of Gowrie to help, and in time, she
found she really, really liked it.

A few years later, the postman in Paton stopped
by to see if shed want to be the postal clerk.

See, this is the problem, Aletha interjected humorously. I know too many people.

The postman explained she could work both
jobs simultaneously, but she admits she was most putoff by the idea of taking a civil service exam. But, he
wouldnt quit, she said.

So, Aletha went to Fort Dodge to take the exam,
praying all the way there and back that she wouldnt pass.

But, of course, she did pass. She recalls enjoying the


position and fondly remembers Jim Fields, Sr. and many
others stopping by to talk. She served as postal clerk for
20 years.

Alethas quilting pastime with friends has proved
profitable. Her
church has used
the revenue from
sales to renovate
the kitchen of
the Presbyterian
Church in Paton.
I
didnt
have a lot of fancy education,
recalls
Aletha
Ruth, But, I did
a lot with what I
had.

She says her fondest memory was a month long
trip to Germany she took with her husband while their
son was serving in Germany. My husband had wanted to
see how Germany had changed since the war..

Iowa land owners


awarded more acres
for conservation
115,000 more acres for CRP
to aid wildlife, water quality. . .

Iowa has received an additional 115,000 acres that
can be enrolled in the Continuous Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) for critical wildlife and water quality efforts.

For landowners who have general CRP contracts
expiring in 2017, this may be their only opportunity to reenroll existing CRP back into the program. It is not clear
whether there will be a general CRP signup in 2017.

The State Acres For wildlife Enhancement
(SAFE) program is part of the continuous CRP program
with the goal of restoring high-priority wildlife habitat tailored to specific need. SAFE practices can be used to restore habitat for threatened and endangered species, species
that have suffered significant population declines or species that provide significant social or economic value to the
community.

Iowas existing SAFE programs, Gaining Ground
SAFE targeted to grassland birds and pollinators,
and Pheasant Recovery

received additional allocations of 50,000 and 25,000
acres respectively. In addition to soil erosion preven-

tion and water quality improvements, both SAFE projects


provide an excellent opportunity for landowners to enroll
land into CRP to establish quality wildlife habitat.

The Iowa DNR has created a webpage for landowners to learn more about federal and state programs
available to them. The webpage includes a list of DNR staff
who are experts at connecting landowners with programs
and writing land management plans that benefit the landowner, wildlife and improve water quality. There is also a
link to FSA where landowners can find information about
their local FSA office. The landowner assistance webpage
is at www.iowadnr.gov/crp.

In addition to the existing Iowa SAFE project announcements, an all-new SAFE project, called Iowa Early
Successional Quail Habitat, has been approved for 40,000
acres.

The Iowa Early Successional Quail Habitat SAFE
project, in addition to soil erosion prevention and water
quality improvements, is designed to restore early successional habitat across Iowas southern quail range where it
will be the most beneficial for bobwhite quail. This new
SAFE will also be tremendously beneficial to native pollinators and Monarch butterflies.

Landowners may begin submitting applications
on Jan. 9 for Gaining Ground SAFE and Pheasant Recovery
SAFE. Applications for the new Quail Habitat SAFE will
be accepted later in January.

Trout, crappies biting


on Ada Hayden,
Don Williams lakes

Ada Hayden Heritage Park Lake--Rainbow
Trout - Catch trout from the fall stocking with spoons
or jigs tipped with wax worms. Trout tend to swim the
perimeter in schools, so fish depths of 5 to 15 feet deep
just out from shore.

Don Williams Lake--Black Crappie - Good:
Use wax worms or minnows. Target the mid-lake section at depths of 15-25 feet, schools of crappie will come
through suspended.

Brushy Creek Lake--Ice is around 8 inches on
the north end of the lake. Ice conditions are more variable
with some thinner spots in the mid-lake south end. There
are some small pockets of open water near some of the
trees in the south end.

Use caution and test ice thickness often when
venturing out. The best ice conditions and most action
have been near the north boat ramp.

Northwestern train is pulling into Harcourt from the east in 1906.

The Railroads came to Lost Grove Township


Providing Harcourt electric service. . .

In the early days during the settlements of Iowa
between 1850 and 1900, the settlers found that a railroad
was an absolute necessity for the development of the new
country.

A railroad would bring into their newly settled
territory building materials for the construction of their
homes as well as food and clothing for their families.
It would also haul to market hay, grain, and live stock
raised on their farms.

The Chicago Northwestern had crossed Iowa in
1865 and the Illinois Central in 1869 and 1870 leaving a
vast territory about 35 miles wide between the two roads.

Lost Grove was about in the center of this territory and land could be purchased for around $10 an acre.

In the 1870s, as the settlers began streaming
into this territory lying between the Illinois Central on
the north and the Chicago Northwestern on the south
(which included Lost Grove township), a desperate demand arose for a railroad for the development of the new
country.

In those days the new country was poor and railroads did not come easily. The settlers would donate land
and pledge money for the construction of the rail road
across their property.

It had taken the Illinois Central 23 years and
three reorganizations to reach Fort Dodge from Dubuque.
It was therefore with great joy that the settlers of Lost
Grove learned they were to have a railroad.

The Toledo and Northwestern railroad was organized in 1880, and that year it reached Jewell, a distance of 68 miles. They evidently ran short of funds for
the next year, 1881, they only got to Stratford, a distance
of fifteen miles.

The next year 1882, the road was completed
to Lake City, 40 miles to the west, where it ended for
the next four years. After that, it was completed to Wall

Lake. Some time after its completion it was absorbed by


the Chicago and Northwestern. Therefore Lost Grove had
its first railroad in 1882.

The second railroad to pass through Lost Grove
was the Marshalltown and Dakota, a short line extending
from Frazer to Gowrie. It was built primarily to dispose
of the enormous coal tonnage being produced at Frazer.

Two new towns were build on this railroad
Boxholm and Lanyon, the latter being in Lost Grove
township. This road was surveyed in 1899 and completed
into Gowrie in 1900.

When doing research on the history and construction of this road, I received valuable information
from an old and dear friend, Mr. Ernest Swenson of
Gowrie. The road ran through his parents farm and he
and his brother, Alfred, with teams and scrapers, helped
build the road.

This road was absorbed by the Newton and
Northwestern in 1902 and extended westward to Newton. An elevator and stock yards were built at Lanyon as
well as a grocery and hardware store which did a thriving
business. Later a lumber yard was built

In 1905, the Newton and Northwestern was taken over by the Fort Dodge, Des Moines, and Southern.

Starting at a point a miles and half east of Lanyon, called Fort Dodge Junction (and later Hope)(, a new
line was built north to Fort Dodge in 1906 which passed
through Lost Grove township and through the lake and
slough for which the township was named.

Much difficulty was encountered in building
a grade through this slough and the road did not reach
Harcourt until Christmas, 1906.

In the spring, the road was completed into Fort
Dodge. Afterwards it was electrified giving people of
Harcourt and Lost Grove fast electric service each way
every two hours.

SV Jaguar girls lose to Alta-Aurelia


Friday; some good Jag plays

The SV Jaguar girls lost to Alta-Aurelia 64-33
Friday night at Gowrie.

The Jag girls were competitive in the first quarter (14-12) But Alta-A came on strong in the second
quarter and the Jags were down 34-16 at the half.

Mady Jaeschke made a steal early and passed
for a fast break score. Cassidy Lundberg also had a steal,
dribbled past the center line, and converted a 3 pointer.

SV JV team edged
by Glidden-Ralston

The Southeast Valley Girls JV came up short in
a hard-fought battle against Glidden-Ralston in Glidden,
Thursday, January 5.

The Jaguars trailed 12-21 going into half-time.
Increased defensive pressure yielded 22 second half
points for the Jaguars. The girls scored ten points in the
third quarter, while holding G-R to just six third quarter
points.

Delaney Conrad led the Jaguar offensive charge
with 15 points, draining three shots from behind the arch.
Cassi Berglund ignited the Jaguar defense with four
steals, contributing 8 points on the offensive end. Mackenzie Crampton provided 6 points for the Jags.

Ebony Scott and Jaynie Ferrari each added a
basket to finish with 2
points apiece. Payton Erritt
connected on a free-throw
to end the contest with 1
point. The ladies played
hard and learned some important lessons from this
game they can carry over.
Each game this team improves and learns a little
bit more about themselves.


Alta-Aurelia used some full quart pressure
which created many turnovers. Morgan Castenson put up
a nice jump shot to add two points in the second quarter.

After the half Cassidy Lambert put up nice shot.
Kasey Lundberg made a good fast break layup.

Emma Graves drew a foul and went to the free
throw line making both shot attempts.

Shelby Cummins converted a fast break and layup! Mady Jaeschke went to the line and made both
attempts.

Mady Jaeschke rebounded and in the fast break
passed back to #22 Cassidy Lambert for an easy shot under the basket adding two points.

But at the end of three quarters the Jaguars were
behind 46-30.
`
Mady Jaeschke drew a foul and made one free
throw. Karissa added a good jump shot with 40 seconds
left of the game.

The Alta girls were very quick and they were
good shooters.

Kaylah Patton...
continued from front page...

Sara and other family members visit Kaylah at
a ChildServe home in Ankeny. Kaylahs staying in this
home because shes battling numerous conditions - some
of which are terminal.

ChildServe is a not-for-profit organization
that partners with families to help children with special healthcare needs live a great life. Originally founded in 1928 as a convalescent home for children, today
ChildServe provides specialized pediatric health care
services to more than 3,500 children in Iowa.

Her family says its been a tough process, but
Kaylah, who is always smiling and laughing, keeps them
positive.

No matter what shes going through, shes
always got a smile on her face, her mom, Sara Patton,
said. Giggling, always really nice to everybody. You
never know that somethings wrong with her, because
she doesnt let it bother her.

Patton decided she wanted to do something special for her daughters eighth birthday. After posting on
Facebook, asking for suggestions, a total stranger started
a campaign to get as many birthday cards as possible
sent to Kaylah. Over the month of December, those cards
came flooding in.

Its pretty amazing, you dont realize how generous people are in a time thats really hard on you, Patton said. I mean, they dont even know you and theyre
going out of their way to do something special for you.

While her birthday was last Friday, the family doesnt plan to celebrate until the following weekend.
Kaylahs mother says theres plenty of time for anyone
who wants to lend a hand in this effort.

Cards can be sent to: P.O. Box 195, Boone, Iowa
50036.

Sara is the daughter of Clint Van Kley, Farnhamville. Sara has one other daughter Jaidyn who is in
the fourth grade at the elementary school in Farnhamville.

Through the support of private insurance, public funds, and the generosity of donors, ChildServe offers
accessible, family-centered care unique to each childs
needs, hopes, and dreams.
