ReviewVol. 139, No. 24 Wednesday, June 15, 2016 [email protected]

By Jill Viles The Steck house has al-

ways been a favorite hang-

out for friends of the lateBret Steck. Mark Steck,Brets father, is fondly re-ferred to as Papa Bear.There is no such thingas friends of Bret, ex-plains Mark Steck. Tous, everyone is family.Its words like these thatremind those of Harcourt

and surrounding commu-nities just how much Bret

Steck is truly missed in theyear since his unexpected and

tragic passing. Brets friends continue

to be there for Brets family and writebeautiful tributes about Bret on Face-book posts. Two of his best friends are

Joe and Jack Doolittle who used to partici-pate in open gym on Sunday nights with him.

Bret loved to play sports, says his father,Mark. Honestly, I dont think Bret had a single enemy,ever. A couple of months before his sudden passing, Bret

discussed his salvation with his father. Hed grown upgoing to Bible Camp at Twin Lakes and Hidden Acres.He told his father hed given his life to the Lord. His

father, Mark, had assured him this was such an importantstep as you never know what will happen in life.After Brets passing, Mark Steck explained that he

believes everything happens for a reason. He hopesthat if even one person devotes their life to the Lord in thewake of this tragedy, then that is what is most important.

Bret is also remembered for spending timewith his two young sons, Carter, Buddy as his fathercalled him and Gabe, who Bret called Boo Boo. Bretwas blessed with family who loved to do things with him.Don Watts, his brother-in-law, loved to golf with Bret.

At one time, Don worked as Brets boss at the coop.Amy, his sister-in-law, also worked at the coop with him.Often, the joke of the day at the office was Bret wouldcome in smelling like spoiled beans, and Amy would tellBret to stop at the door, and she would give him what he

needed, and that was usually a can of pop or a sucker.The family fondly recalls Bret celebrating theFourth of July in Gowrie with his family. Bret wouldrecall his last Fourth as an event to remember. As thefamily attended the carnival in Gowrie and watched thechildren enjoy the rides, Gabe was on Brets shoulders.Bret placed Gabe on the ground to assist Carter as he

Bret Steck played golf with Dad, likedbeing a father, devoted his life to God

Gowrie man remembered one year after tragic accident. . .

June 4, Ogden 1-3 L (5-3) A new entry into the schedule this year was theRoland Story Tournament. The beautiful field was thesite for the first game between the Ogden Bulldogs andthe Jaguars. Again it was a tale of making the plays asOgden scored all three runs off a misplayed flyball whichcame at a perfect time for the bulldogs as they had basesloaded at the time. The hit scored three runs which wasenough in the end for a final score of 1 to 3.

The Jaguars had a couple of chances to scoremore runs they just couldnt get that timely hit to scoreany runners. The Jaguars made some great plays, mainlygetting out of a jam with bases loaded and no outs in the

fifth inning.On the flip side the Jaguars some misjudgments

and misplays on hits and on the base paths. Myles Davistook the mound and kept the bulldogs off the scoreboarduntil the fourth inning where one hit scored all their runs.Ryan Gustafson came in and did a great job of relievingMyles. Ryan pitched two innings giving up no hits andpitching us out of the bases loaded no outs situation in thefifth. The Jaguars out hit the bulldogs three to fivewhile again no Jaguar had a multiple hit day. Ryan Gus-tafson and Cade King were 1 for 2, with Cade King col-lecting two stolen bases. Cam Anderson and Sam Ber-glund were both 1 for 3 while Dakota Jaeschke collectedthe other Jaguar hit on the day.

Woodward Academy 13-3 W (6-3) After a tough loss to Ogden the Jaguars gotback on track as they handled Woodward Academy witha 13 to 3 rout in the fifth inning. Leading the Jaguars wasMyles Davis going 3 for 3 which included a double and ahome run. On the game Myles had 2 RBIs and crossingthe plate himself once.

Freshmen Jackson Housken had a good gameat the plate going 2 for 3 while collecting his first twohits of his young varsity career. Senior Cameron Ander-son also went 2 for 3 not to be outdone by the freshmen.Rounding out the hits on the game were Nolan Brand andDakota Jaeschke each having a hit, Dakota had also hadan insane five stolen bases on the game while the Jaguarsreally were running wth a total 13 stolen bases on thegame.

The Jaguars used a trio of Junior pitchers includ-ing starter Nolan Brand, Dakota Jaeschke, and finishingthe game Sam Berglund. All three controlled the bats forWoodward and together finished with a 4.20 ERA.

June 3, Manson NW Webster W 8-3 (5-2(1-1) The Jaguars hosted Manson NW Webster Fri-day night in Dayton for their first conference game of theyoung season. The game which was varsity first due toimpending bad weather didnt start the way the Jaguarswould have wanted as the Cougars put 3 runs across inthe first inning which started to make coaches, fans a littlenervous.

Nolan Johnson started on the mound for theJaguars and threw well considering a small zone whichdidnt include the low strike in it. After a shaky first in-

ning, Nolan settled into the zone and threw four more in-nings not allowing two hits and no runs. Myles Daviscame in to finish off the last two innings for the Jaguars

to seal the win. Offensively the Jaguars all spread out their hitswith no Jaguar collecting more than one hit each. DakotaJaeschke, Nolan Brand, Sam Berglund, Nolan Johnson,Mitchell Reck, and Cameron Anderson were the Jaguarscollecting hits with Nolan Driving in 3 runners whileMitchell plated two runners. It was a tale of two inningsas the cougars did all their scoring in the first inning,while the Jaguars scored their 8 in the second inning.

First pitch honoree on the night was Southeastvalley Graduate Josh Gibbons. Josh has been very ac-tive in almost all music events during his time at South-east Valley. He also sang at all home varsity basketball

games. He also sang a beautiful rendition for the ball-game. Congrats Josh!

June 2, Humboldt 6-3 W (4-2) Coming off a tough loss and long road trip theJaguars were hoping to be ready to go against alwaysgood Humboldt Wildcats, a team which has had the Jag-uars number the last few years. That was not the case onthis night however as the Jaguars finally came away witha win with a 6 to 3 final score.

The Jaguars started things with their bats col-lecting 7 hits throughout the night. Leaders for the Jagswere Myles Davis going 2 for 2 which included a doubleand finishing with 2 RBIs. Nolan Johnson was not to beoutdone also going 2 for 2 and stealing 2 bases as well.Cade King, Sam Berglund and Nolan Brand were other

Jaguars collecting a hit each. Nolan Brands hit comingoff a huge smash that cleared the fence to give him hisfirst varsity home run and the first on the year for theJaguars.

Despite the hot temps the Jaguars come up with

win against Woodward, MNW and Humbolt

Dayton Review

My recent trek to St. Charles, the area of my ori-gin, brought back a number of memories. Some of themI actually remember and some were from remembrancesor conversations of my parents and relatives. I mentionedpreviously that the last house we lived in prior to relocat-

ing in Boone County is now gone as are the ones to theeast of it. I have some memories of the neighborhood.There was a two story house to the east of ours and it wasoccupied by the school Superintendent, his wife and teenage daughter, Lillian. Even at my young age I viewedthis family as odd or different. They didnt seem to beneighborly, keeping pretty much to themselves. I dontrecall the wife out much except when the family all gotinto their car and departed. I dont remember any youngerpeople Lillians age visiting or seeing her out and aboutmuch except to go back and forth to school. One neigh-bor reported having gone to the residence for some reasonand then reporting that about three or four feet high alongthe walls around the dining and living rooms were heavystrings or cords to which various colors and patterns ofcotton materials were attached. Apparently the visitor

was curious and daring enough to ask about them. Theanswer, Oh, those are Lillians quilt blocks! After the Superintendents family moved out oraway a local younger couple moved in. They were moreneighborly as they would greet people in the neighbor-hood and converse when we were all outside. I dontknow how I happened to go over to the house one earlyin the spring day. Perhaps it was for the soul purpose ofbeing led to the room at the top of the stairs. When thedoor was opened a rush of warmer air greeted us and inthe center of that room was a little pen in which werebaby chicks not more than a few days old. It seems theyfelt the quarters planned for them apparently had no aux-iliary heat and it as still too cold for them so the chickswere temporarily quartered in the house. Yuk! Wonderif they got it cleaned back to human use?? This same

couple eventually had a baby. It may have been that samespring or early fall as there was a nip in the air. The nextday we saw his parents car pull into their driveway, ap-parently with the purpose of seeing their new grandbaby.But, they didnt get out of the car as expected but just satthere. In a very short time our neighbor came out carry-ing a bundle (assume was a baby all swaddled) and tookit to the drivers side of the car, stayed a short time andreturned to the house as the car left. Was that house amagnet for strange people? Across the street was the Presbyterian Churchnext to which was the Parsonage occupied by whatseemed to me to be an ancient couple, Rev. and Mrs.Carnahan. I suspect they werent more than in their early60s, if that. Mrs. Carnahan was a local missionary.She was the driver in the family and we would often see

her toodling around in their 1920s vintage four doorModel T Ford sedan. Mrs. Carnahan went every Sundayout into the countryside and brought children to SundaySchool, especially from one large family. I am sure shesecretly collected clothing for them and looking back, Iwould surmise that a sizeable portion of the ministersmeager salary was used for others in the community. When school was out for the summer, the nextweek was Bible School. This was a three way effort of allthe town churches. Methodist, Presbyterian and Christian

joining and it was held at the school house. (Wouldntthat be a big taboo today?) Mrs. Carnahan was deeplyinvolved in that too. I remember everyone meeting in theassembly for opening exercises, some Bible verse read-ing, prayer and especially singing. The one song I learnedat those sessions was Little Brown Church in the Wild-

wood. It must have been the favorite of Georgie Knight,of my Grandmas generation, another pillar/do-gooderof the community, who led the singing. When it cameto the refrain, she with her strong, deep, loud, alto voicewould really chime in on the oh come, come ,come tothe church---. Does anyone sing that song anymore? Another resident I remember was Mae S. Shewas a maiden lady, a seamstress by trade, who lived acouple blocks or so south. She had a long time boyfriend who farmed in the community. The story, as Irecall, was they each had a mother for whom they feltresponsible. Maes had gone to her reward but Neils stilllived with him. He came in every Sunday evening forsupper and in nice weather you would see them going outto his old car. They were gone for a while and back theycame shortly after which Neil left. Sometimes he wouldcome some evening for a short stay during the week. Atthe time they were quite a bit older than my parents andthey never married. The story in our family was told sev-eral times about Mom and Dad. They started going to-gether in high school and after about seven years Momsaid to Dad something like People are beginning to callus Mae and Neil. We are never going to have enoughmoney. So they had a small wedding at one of my uncleand aunts house and the few people attending had a sup-

per there with them. They were not Mae & Neil. Theywere still young and had a strong union for over sixty fiveyears. These are some of my St. Charles recollections.There may be more stuffed back in this old brain. Who

knows? Do you have similar tales of your very youngyears?

Does God Talk to You? Does God talk to you? Im not referring hearingan audible voice of God I dont know of anyone these daysthat has experienced that. But it does tell us in the Bible thatGod speaks to us through the Holy Spirit. He also speaks tous through the sermons we hear each Sunday by our Pastorsor Priests. The trouble is that many of us sit in church waitingto be entertained. We are not there to be entertained, but weshould be there worshipping our awesome God, and to pray.We are to hear the message given to us and then respond to it,going out to share Gods message with others. This is calledwitnessing and I once heard a friend say that too many ofus believe we are in the witness protection plan. We areafraid to share with others in the event we may be accused

to stating something wrong. The next time you hear a mes-sage, whether it be in a church, a synagogue or a message atthe local Care Center given by lay people, look for ways thatyou can share that message with someone that doesnt attendchurch. This is how we can do Gods biding and spread Hisword in our community. Prayer: Lord, help us to understand the messageswe hear in church and then prod us to go out and spread theGood News to others. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen

The Jags scored all four of their runs in thethird inning but it was enough for the win. The Eagles struck first in the second inningwhen they were able to manage a two out walk followedby a stolen base and a double to score the first run of thegame. The Jags responded in the bottom of the thirdinning when Josie Breitsprecher drove a single up themiddle. Natalie Lambert laid down a beautiful sacrificebunt that moved Breitsprecher to third. Erica Rittgers

then drove in Bretisprecher on a single and then stolesecond base. Morgan Castenson reached on an error thatscored Rittgers. Jaiden Ackerson then followed with asingle and Cassidy Lambert drove in both Castenson andAckerson to finish the Jaguar scoring.

The Eagles were able to manage just one morerun in the game, and the Jaguars held on for the victory.Natalie Lambert got the pitching win giving up just oneearned run while striking out four Eagle batters. CassidyLambert continued her hot streak with the bat going 3 for3 with two RBI. Erica Rittgers also went 2 for 3 with atriple, a single, and an RBI. Josie Breitsprecher was 2 for2 with a run scored and Jaiden Ackerson was 1 for 3 witha run scored. The Jags are now 8-1.

In the fall of 1854, Gasper T. Richey of Ohio lefthis farm, his water power grist mill and his saw mill andmoved his family to Dayton Township, Webster County,Iowa. He bought five three-quarter sections and 80 acresof raw prairie land. The first pioneer home built in 1855 of hand-hewn logs, 20 by 24 feet in dimension, two stories inheight, and so soundly was it constructed that it remains inuse remains in use today, Section 28, Dayton Township. The log house was the home of the Richey fam-ily for many years then it was owned by other familiesthrough the succeeding years. The last owner was Walter

Vontrees, who built a fine new house and was no longerinterested in preserving the old house. Through the years the log house was coveredwith siding, a furnace was installed, also electricity andrunning water. It looked like any other farm house. Therunning water came from a spring in the hillside to whereit was piped and put under pressure. The log house was located on the upper levelabove the Des Moines River a few miles southwest of thebig bridge between Dayton and Stratford. Huge old Lilac bushes nestled close to the house.The old log spring house was no longer in use and the logbarn with a double driveway had long since been replaceby a modern structure. Deep ravines lay between the build-ings and the river. Since the log house was no longer needed, plans

were made to demolish it and push it over into the ravineto be burned. In August of 1967, Laurel Bittle Carlson and herhusband, the late Elwin A. Carlson, acquired the Richeylong cabin. The kitchen addition had already been de-stroyed when the Carlsons acquired the house, the win-dows had been removed and a hole appeared in the roof. The log house was well built of hand-hewn nativeoak timbers, pegged together. The floors were of walnut,

Hand-hewn log cabin, built in 1854 near Dayton,moved to Harcourt in 1967 by Carlson family

also one of the dividing walls was of walnut paneling. Ithad taken a year to build the log house back in 1855. The upper story was removed to facilitate mov-ing the house, then it was mounted on heavy timbers to bemoved 12 miles to the Carson residence in Harcourt. It was located now on a new foundation on theedge of an old orchard. A big old Kieffer pear tree standsnearby. In the last two years, the house has been convert-ed to a 1 1/2 story log cabin and has been restored to itsoriginal condition as nearly as possible. All the siding, lath, plaster, wiring, plumbing and

furnace have been removed. Chinking and new mortar re-place the crumbling old mortar between the logs. Inside, after the lath and plaster were removed,the pearly surfaces of the old white-washed logs appeared.The building had never had fireplaces, so two new chim-neys were built in the exact location of the old ones wherethe stains still showed on the logs. The first floor was cut up by furnace registers andwas badly worn. It was covered over with a new oak floor.The stairway of narrow treads and high risers was dam-aged so it also was replaced. A new roof of cedar shakeswas put on. Two new doors, custom built of tongue andgrooved 2x6s with big hinges swing open to welcomeyou. It is furnished with things of long ago as much aspossible. These furnishings have come mainly from Elwin

and Laurel Carsons parents and grandparents. Though nearly completely furnished, it will notbe lived in but used as a guest house and a relic of thosedays when life was more strenuous but ran at a slowerpace. May it stand another 100 years, loved and pre-served by people who want to keep the remnants of van-ishing era.

Jags overcome early deficit to beatWest Central Valley June 8 at WCV

blasted a triple to right center that scored both runners.Cassidy Lambert then singled to score Rittgers. Lambertwas able to come around to score when Jaiden Ackersonreached on an error.

West Central Valley were only able to respondwith one run in the top of the fifth inning and the Jagsadded one more run in the sixth inning. Morgan Casten-son and Natalie Lambert worked together for the pitchingwin. Castenson got the win pitching three innings strik-ing out four batters, and Lambert got the save allowing

just one unearned run while striking out five batters.Cassidy Lambert paced the Jags offensively go-

ing 3 for 4 with three runs scored and two stolen bases.Erica Rittgers was 2 for 3 with a triple and a double .Kasey Lundberg had two RBI. Jaiden Ackerson was 1for 3 with a double and two RBI.

How You CanAvoid 7 Costly

Mistakes ifHurt at Work

Defensively it was good to see the Jaguarsdefense step up after the night before and have a solidgame. Pitcher Cade King did a great job pitching on thenight, going the complete game scattering four hits on 3runs while allowing 4 walks. This was a win we neededdearly, with Cade throwing an excellent game. It wasnice to finally beat Humboldt for once, said Coach An-derson .

June 1, Sioux Central /L 1-5 (3-2 (0-1 Conference)

Coming out of the Memorial Day weekend theJaguars first challenge of the week was visiting far offPeterson, IA to match up against the Sioux Central Reb-els. This game was also a big one as both teams look tobe on the top half of the conference this season.

The Rebels sent out their ace Mac Prior whilethe Jaguars sent their ace Senior Cam Anderson to takethe mound. Sadly at the end of the night it was the Reb-els who were celebrating their first conference win but inthis case the Jaguars didnt do enough for themselves towin but more for the other team committing 4 errors onthe night and allowing all five runs to be unearned runs.It was a tough game to lose and even tougher consideringthey win if they played better defensively.

Came threw a great ball game and was replacedlater in the game with Nolan Brand who also threw ad-

mirably; it was just not enough in the end from a team

standpoint.The Jags actually had opportunities to strike

more points on the scoreboard but couldnt get that big hitto crack it open. The lone to hits on the night for the Jagswere off the bat of Cade King and Nolan Brand whoseboth hits were doubles.

leaped into the jumping ball game, and Gabe took off.Bret thought his mother had Gabe, but when he saw her

oments later, she explained she didnt have him. Forthe next few minutes there was an intense hunt for Gabe,but fortunately his Aunt Amy found him by the ticketstand. Thats the nice thing about small townsevery-body knows everybody, and you can count on the wholecommunity to look out for your child or grandchild, saidValerie Steck.

But Bret cherished every moment of parenting.If the boys couldnt go, Bret wouldnt go, explains hisother.

Its testimony to his character that more than 1000people attended Brets visitation. There was a wait ofnearly two hours, but this did not deter friends and fam-ily.

Bret had so many friends. Theyre all family to us,says Valerie Steck. Bret and his future wife, Crystal, dated for a year,and then were married. According to Brets father, heactually asked his father for permission to marrysome-thing not every young man does, but perhaps testamentto the beautiful marriage he had witnessed growing up.Bret and Crystal would have been married four years lastApril.

Mark Steck stated that each of his children share a

special bond with him. For daughter, Heather, its a loveof studying the Bible, for Aaron, its working on carswith his dad, and for Bret, it was a love of sports that heshared with his father. I find its hard to do stuff like a round of golf,Mark Steck candidly admits. I find myself thinking ofBret, wishing he was here.

In life, Bret shared much more than a love of sportswith his dad. They also shared a work environment.Mark and Bret saw one another at least five times a daywhile working at FC, Farmers Cooperative.

On that tragic day last year, Brets mother broughthis sons to FC. She was running late and called Bret to

ask if he could drop the boys off at the coop in Farnham-ville since she worked in Rockwell City. Also, it madeit nice so Bret wouldnt be late for work. Brets mother,Valerie, got there first, and while she was waiting forBret, Mark pulled up and told Valerie he had to drop hisload, but would be right back.

In the meantime, Bret pulled up and as Bret was tak-ing his boys out of the truck, Pa Pa Mark pulled up in hissemi. The boys went nuts saying, Pa Pa! just as theyalways do, explained Mark. Then, he blasted the air hornfor them. Bret, one by one, handed the boys to grandpaMark, and then took them back down out of Pa Pas semi,and then Bret put the boys back in his mothers car. I dont have regrets, explains Mark. We got

to say goodbye. It was just a bad thing that happened;theres no reason to get mad at FC. In truth, Bret wasnt even supposed to have beenworking that day. He was supposed to be at home for hissons pre-school home visit, but his boss asked Bret tocome in. That's just the kind of guy he was, explains Mark.If a superior told him to do something, he was going todo it. No Debate. No questions. Just someone you couldtruly count on. Brets father hopes to keep Brets memory alivethrough his truck. His personalized plates, BRET31bring joy to his heart. He hopes to hang on to this truck

over the years, and perhaps give it to Brets' sons as theyare old enough. An anonymous donor also wishes to keep Bretsmemory alive through the gift of trees, given in his honorand planted at Brockett Park. Additionally, the familywishes to recognize all who have generously donatedclothes and toys for Carter and Gabe.

The Gowrie swimming pool is now open for thesummer and everyone can enjoy the pool once again. It was discovered that there is a leak in the surgetank and this was causing problems according to infor-mation disclosed at the GDC meeting Friday noon. This

tank is operating much better now although there is still

some leaking. Last year it was thought that leaks were occur-ring at the deep end of the pool but this was not the case. The construction firm is negotiating with theCity of Gowrie on this situation. There have been prob-lems with the pool since it was constructed a few yearsago.
