By Jill Viles An athletic revival of sorts is taking place in the tennis courts alongside the Gowrie swimming pool. The once nearly abandoned tennis courts have been trans-formed into a bustling Pickleball court due to the spirited enthusiasm of John Nelson, a rural Gowrie farmer. After a brief appearance before the Gowrie City Council, Nelson was afforded the opportunity to redesign the courts—painting new lines upon the pavement, and urging Chuck Angstrom of Gowrie Municipal Utilities to pull the once retired tennis net out of storage. For Nelson, it’s a labor of love. He was first introduced to the game as a snowbird in Arizona. His friend, Alan Albright of Lytton, encouraged Nelson to take up the sport following a lackluster round of golf. To those who love the sport, new recruits are beckoned with the adage: “It’s a suitable game for those from eight to eighty-five,” and Nelson found this to be the case. The inspiration for Pickleball emerged in 1965, as U.S. Congressman Joel Pritchard returned from a round of golf with two of his friends, William Bell and Barney Mc Callum, to find their children listless and bored. The trio, hoping to inspire the children, lowered the badminton net, placed ping pong paddles in their chil-dren’s hands, and tossed a wiffle ball into play for good measure. In time, the rudimentary sports equipment was refined—larger paddles were crafted from marine ply-wood, and a regulation polymer ball was substituted for the wiffle ball, but the game remains true to its simplistic roots. What resulted was an energetic family-friendly sport which first swept the state of Washington, but later enveloped into a full-fledged sport complete with com-peting teams, stylish graphite paddles, and indoor recre-ational facilities. Since Pickleball’s inception as a Gowrie sport-ing staple, 43 people have perused the courts for a closer experience. “We encourage everyone to come out and give it a try,” insists Nelson. “Everyone in Gowrie is just starting at this point in time, so it’s a great time to try out

the game.” Nelson points out that all who have tried Pickle-ball remark that it’s a lot more exercise than they’d imag-ined it would be, though he suggests that the pace of the game is modified by how much a player wants to fight for every last shot. “It’s not as hard on us older guys as tennis games,” suggests Steve Tucker. “I like this more than golf.” Sac City boasts numerous Pickleball enthusi-asts, and Gowrie’s competitions with Sac City have run as long as five hours. “Things can get competitive,” in-sists Steve Tucker. “You find you really want to win.” According to Keith Streit, Pickleball is a “gen-tleman’s game.” He explains players call their own shots, and indicate whether the ball is in or out. There’s not supposed to be fighting or cussing, he insists. Though more men typically take up the sport than women, it was noted that Marsha Farnham has made an appearance on the court, as well as Dee Dee Hunter and her daughter and granddaughter. At the beginning of the summer, Pickleball was played on Sunday and Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 P.M. As days began to shorten, the time changed to 6 to 8 P.M., but now with days getting even shorter, a Sunday afternoon 2-4 P.M. session was tested out on August 30. Typically four to six people arrive to play Pickleball each session. Though many people eventually choose to purchase their own equipment, those interested in trying out Pickleball are assured equipment is avail-able to use on loan.

By Travis Nuss, Head Coach The Southeast Valley girls’ cross country, after winning their first meet of the season in Gowrie, trav-eled to Webster City in what is traditionally one of their toughest meets of the season. Competing in a one class meet against many 3A and 4A schools, the Jaguars brought home runner-up team honors, only finishing behind class 3A #12th-ranked Humboldt. The Jaguars’ 77 points was enough to outdis-tance third place Algona by 23 points and 27 points ahead of 4th place, Class 1A fifth ranked St. Edmond; the team the Jaguars beat by a single point, just four days earlier. Besides a tough field, runners competed in ex-treme heat and humidity. Natalie Lambert (21:55) lead the Jags by finish-ing 7th overall, while teammate Erica Rittgers (22:01) finished 6 seconds behind her in 8th place. Both claimed individual medals.

Katara Jondle (28:15) and Tessa Berg (28:16) finished 66th and 67th for the varsity runners. In the boys race, junior Spencer Warehime claimed his second consecutive individual title of the year. His time of 17:40 was enough to hold off the 2nd and 3rd place finishers from Fort Dodge Senior High. Josh Johnson was the second Jaguar to cross the finish line in 22nd place with a time of 19:19. Josh Carlson (20:33, 49th), Jacob DeBaun (21:08, 60th) and Nathan Montgomery (21:19, 64th) round out the scorers for Southeast Valley. Patrick Breitsprecher (21:45, 68th) and Todd Hamilton (22:14, 73rd) were the boys’ 6th and 7th varsity runners. The team was able to finish 8th place overall with 194 points. Class 2A - #6 Eagle Grove won the meet with 59 points followed by Ft. Dodge Senior High and Humboldt was third. Class 1A - #6 St. Edmond finished 5th. Ben Carlson led the Southeast Valley boys’ JV cross country team Tuesday night at Webster City. Carl-son finished 19th overall with a time of 22:02.

Next to finish for the Jaguars was Michael Vos-berg (25:58, 76th), followed by Max Davis (26:25, 80th),

Aaron True (27:35, 87th) and Jordan Lane (29:45, 96th). In the same meet, Emma Graves lead the JV girls’ team with a 12th place time of 28:04. Allie Berg (29:52, 27th) and Kate Dyer (30:20, 20th) were the next two finisher for the Jaguars. Leslie Housken ran a season PR time of 31:27 and was followed by Hannah Fiala (31:27, 33rd) to help Southeast Valley claim 4th place team honors in the JV race. Also competing in the JV race was Kendall Sandgren who ran a season PR in a time of 33:00. Sarah Nahnsen (32:06, 65th), Chelsea Gross-nickle (35:27, 51st), and Hannah Peterson (35:36, 52nd) also competed in the race for the Jaguars.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey an-nounced today that $3.5 million in cost share funds to help farmers install nutrient reduction practices have been obligated to farmers in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. The practices that were eligible for this funding are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer. “Farmers continue to show they are willing to invest in practices focused on limiting nutrient loss and improving water quality. To consider that this program went from zero to more than 1,800 farmers over the past three years shows that farmers are committed to action and willing to invest in water quality,” Northey said. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received applications covering 187,000 acres from more than 1,800 different farmers seeking to participate in the program. Farmers in each of the 100 Soil and Water Conservation Districts across the state re-ceived funding. Participants include 980 farmers using a practice for the first time and more than 830 past users that are trying cover crops again and are receiving a reduced-rate of cost share. The first-time users cover 79,000 acres of cover crops, 7,450 acres of nitrification inhibitor, 7,150 acres of no-till and 3,950- acres of strip-till. The past us-ers will use cover crops on nearly 89,500 acres. Farmers not already utilizing the practice were eligible cost share rate for cover crops of $25 per acre, $10 per acre for trying no-till or strip till and $3 per acre for using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when apply-ing fall fertilizer. Farmers that had used cover crops in the past were eligible for $15 per acre in cost share. Cost share was only available on up to 160 acres. Farmers are encouraged to still reach out to their local Soil and Water Conservation District office as there may be other programs available to help them implement water quality practices on their farm. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received $9.6 million for the Iowa Water Quality Initiative in fiscal 2016. These funds will allow the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Steward-ship to continue to encourage the broad adoption of water quality practices through statewide cost share assistance as well as more intensive work in targeted watersheds. Background on Iowa Water Quality Initiative The Iowa Water Quality Initiative was estab-lished in 2013 to help implement the Nutrient Reduction

Strategy, which is a science and technology based ap-proach to achieving a 45 percent reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus losses to our waters. The strategy brings together both point sources, such as municipal wastewa-ter treatment plants and industrial facilities, and nonpoint sources, including farm fields and urban stormwater run-off, to address these issues. The initiative seeks to harness the collective ability of both private and public resources and organiza-tions to deliver a clear and consistent message to stake-holders to reduce nutrient loss and improve water quality. State assistance is limited to 50 percent on any practice and must be matched by the farmer, landowner or other source. In addition to statewide cost share, 16 targeted Water Quality Initiative demonstration watershed proj-ects have been funded to help implement and demon-strate water quality practices. The state has provided $7.4 million in funding to support these projects and has lev-eraged an additional $11.7 million in additional funding from partners and landowners. More than 95 organiza-tions are participating in these projects. Four projects focused on expanding the use and innovative delivery of water quality practices beyond an individual watershed have also received funding. These projects will receive $3.06 million in funding through the Iowa water quality initiative over the next three years and be matched by $2.59 million in funding from other sources.

1,800 Iowa farmers commit $3.5 millionto improve water quality practices187,000 acres says Northey. . .

Scam phone calls by IRS impersonatorsreported in Gowrie areaScam techniques being used. . .

Terry Towne, Hometown Tax & Recordkeep-ing, Gowrie, said she had received several claims from area residents who reported phone calls by phony IRS agents. These calls are almost always scam phone calls executed by people impersonating the IRS. An aggressive and sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, including recent immigrants, has been making the rounds throughout the country. Callers claim to be employees of the IRS, but are not. These con artists can sound convincing when they call. They use fake names and bogus IRS identification badge numbers. They may know a lot about their targets, and they usually alter the caller ID to make it look like the IRS is calling. Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license. In many cases, the caller becomes hostile and insulting. Or, victims may be told they have a refund due to try to trick them into sharing private information. If the phone isn’t answered, the scammers often leave an “urgent” callback request. Note that the IRS will never: 1) call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill; 2) demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe; 3) require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card; 4) ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone; or 5) threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

By Tyler Anderson That was a close one… In a tale of two halves on Friday evening, the Southeast Valley Jaguars overcame a second half rally to defeat the Eagle Grove Eagles 35-27 at Gene Hinrichsen Field in Eagle Grove. After playing in the damp and cool conditions of last week against Manson-Northwest Webster, the Jaguars dealt with a stark contrast in weather conditions. Until late in the game, Southeast Valley played through high humidity, but never had to worry about rain. The Jaguars (2-0) took care of business in the first half, and pulled away late to keep Eagle Grove win-less (0-2) thus far into the 2015 campaign. With the win, Southeast Valley is out to their best start in their young history. “I was very happy after the first half,” Head Coach Mike Swieter said of the victory. “We were ahead 27 to zero and we had 350 yards offense to their 13. I was not happy with how we played the second half. We did not come out ready to finish the game. I will take some of the blame, as I let them relax too much at half and it carried over, but the kids need to realize we have to finish games also. Hopefully, we learned from this and it makes us better down the road.” The Jaguar offensive unit produced a whopping 425 yards of offensive against the Eagles, but yielded 231 yards on the defensive front. However, the Jags allowed just 13 yards of offense in the first half and allowed the rest in the second. “We let up, we played tired, were not aggressive and we tackled high and did not do what was taught,” Head Coach Mike Swieter said of the defense’s perfor-mance in the second half. “We just let up, plain and sim-ple and can’t do that again. We must learn from this.” The Jaguars began their trip to Eagle Grove well enough, taking their first possession on a 10 play drive before stalling at the Eagle one yard line. After a four and out by Eagle Grove, the Jaguars found paydirt as junior quarterback Nolan Brand capped a 12 play drive with a touchdown pass to sophomore No-

lan Johnson. With two Jaguar possessions soaking up the first quarter, Southeast Valley began the second quarter with a hiccup with an offensive fumble before an interception by senior Cade King gave the Jags another boost. In response to the turnover, junior Aaron Swi-eter rushed in from 12 yards out to put the Jaguars up by 14. This kickstarted another pair of Jaguar touch-downs, as Brand found King for a 53 yard touchdown pass and a junior Dakota Jaeschke touchdown reception from Brand capped a 10 play drive to send the Jags into the half with a 27-0 advantage. However, Eagle Grove refused to go away, re-turning to the field with a long 16 play, eight minute long drive that resulted in a touchdown for the Eagles. After a Southeast Valley fumble on the ensuing kickoff return, the Eagles conducted a seven play drive that closed the gap to 27-14. Swieter commented that it was the first time he had seen a quarter much like the third quarter between the Jags and the Eagles. After another Southeast Valley fumble, Eagle Grove completed a two play drive that saw Eagle Grove senior Brandon Stuhr score on a rushing touchdown. However, this was the closest that the Jaguars would allow the Eagles, as the Jags responded with a long, 12 play drive led by the hard running of junior run-ning back Aaron Swieter and sophomore Kaleb Jondle. Jondle would hit paydirt from 13 yards out to make the score 35-21 with less than seven minutes to play. Senior cornerback Keaton Jondle grabbed an inter-ception, giving the Jaguars another opportunity to score and put away the Eagles for good. However, the Jaguars turned over the ball and gave the Eagles an outside shot of completing the rally. Eagle Grove got back to within seven points with a touch-down pass on a fourth and 23 that sailed over King’s head and outstretched hands. Fortunately, Southeast Valley was able to re-cover the onside kick and run out the clock to seal their second consecutive victory. “We have had plenty of mistakes the last two weeks but we have continued fighting,” Swieter said of his team. “We’re two and zero, so those mistakes don’t feel as bad. But we must continue to get better and elimi-nate our mistakes.” Junior quarterback Nolan Brand led the Jaguars, going 12-19 with 179 yards passing, three touchdowns and one interception while Swieter and Jondle carried the Jags to 129 and 107 yards respectively on the ground. King led Southeast Valley in receptions, grab-bing three catches for 66 yards, followed by Jaeschke with four receptions for 51 yards. On defense, senior Conner Conrad led the team with seven and a half tackles followed by junior Ryan Gustafson tallied seven tackles, as Keaton Jondle hauled in six tackles. Swieter contributed with a sack, while King and Jondle each had an interception. The Jaguars will return to action on Friday,

Down Memory LaneB Y S A R A D O W N S

Each time I have a “problem” with one of my current day electronics I think of the “old days”. Those were the days when you could go to the store, buy an electrical appliance or gadget, etc., bring it home, plug it in and it worked. If it didn’t work you took it back for an exchange or refund. In these days of “wanting to do it the easy way”, I find that sometimes it isn’t so easy after all. Even when we first got a TV we had it installed by having an antenna put on the roof of our house and con-nected the TV to the antenna and plugged it in. After a short time to warm up a magical thing happened --- there was an amazing black and white picture and you finally got to see the face that went with the voices you had been listening to for years on the radio. By the way, the radio was simply plugged in and there were two knobs. One turned it on, then adjusted the volume. The other was a dial that turned up or down to the number of the station you wanted. We finally got fancier phones that sat on a table or counter or could be hung on the wall but they were much, much smaller than the old crank ones that hung on the kitchen wall. Some people even had jacks installed in several rooms, upstairs and down so they didn’t have to run all the way to the kitchen from another part of the house. And this phone had a dial clearly labeled with numbers, and letters. If you lived in a larger metropolitan area your phone number probably had a named prefix in addition to a four digit number. When my family was young our prefix was Cherry plus a four digit number and the Cherry was shortened to CH for dialing purposes. But progress continued and we got answering machines and they were fairly simple to attach to your phone. Well, you know the rest – it seems things started snowballing and we had cell phones which were fairly simple originally but they had limits – limits of areas in which they would work and limits of how much time you could use without being penalized. My first one could be used in an elongated area stretching up to the Twin Cit-ies and possibly bit further and probably a third of the way through Missouri to the South. East and West I am not sure if you could call (free on your plan) as far as Omaha or Davenport. In fact it had a “dead” area around N. Boone/S. Webster Counties unless I stood outside and cocked my head properly. But, wow! Look at cell phones now – especially if you have the “smart” one which most people (except old fogies like Sara) have. You can e-mail, Facebook, “cipher”, Google”, text, play games, contact places way, way out there, find out what the temp is, track a storm, get forecasts, pay bills, balance your checkbook, read a book – name it, you can do it. Sara has a cell phone but she doesn’t Google, text, get on Face-book, send e-mail, play games, etc. etc. I can call you, leave a message if you don’t or won’t answer because it wasn’t a text. I can listen if you leave me a voice message and if I am in trouble, need some help, I can handle it very well by calling family or friend or 911, thank you. Let’s face it! I’ll never catch up. But I am not living “in the old days” either. It was driver’s license renewal time so I drove down to Indianola (easier from my abode than north across town) and only two people ahead of me. I sat down outside the office waiting my turn. Three other peo-ple were in the area and every one of them had a phone in hand when they came in and still had them there when I left. When I go to the grocery store or other mini malls, etc. I know to drive through very carefully while looking for an open parking space. Why? Because the majority of the pedestrians, especially younger (50 and under) com-ing or going, are not looking to see if it is safe to cross, assuming that the cars will stop for them, because they have their heads down looking at that cell phone which I wonder if is implanted in their hand or with it to their ear. They go about their business in the store in that same mode, bumping carts into things and old ladies. No “par-don me” or “excuse me”. They go through the checkout line, not looking at the cashier and with their free hand unload and then fumble for their wallets in pockets or purses with their non-phone hand. My colleague at church and her hubby recently spent a long weekend a couple states away visiting their son and family – two teen agers in household. One morn-ing my friend peeked in on her granddaughter and she was lying their asleep with her phone in her hand. I said, “I know. I rarely see my teenage great grandchildren without a phone in their hand.” I guess I will just continue in my mode, dealing with the electronics the best I can. Everyone knows I love my computer but I am not downsizing to a smart phone in order to have it at hand 24-7. Besides, I have learned enough on my “electronics” to get by except now my in-ternet carrier is “bugging” me about installing Windows 10 and in fact stating if I don’t I may have some prob-lems. Yi, yi, yi! What next for us old fogies?? All I can

Not totally ready for the new fanged world...say, is that the old Flash Gordon comics were not so far fetched after all. Kids, enjoy your time. Just don’t sneer or laugh at me because I am not going to fully embrace today’s contraptions. I still like my world.

Submitted by nieces,Kay Learned and Judy Allgood Former Gowrie resident, Rolland Dale Cooklin, born in 1927 lived with his sister, Nina Otto and fam-ily, in the 1940’s until he went into the service in 1948. They lived on Market Street where the old Casey’s store stands. Five out of the six Cooklin boys were in the ser-vice. When he lived with the Otto’s we had a town baseball team on which Rolland played and Doc Roche was the coach and Jack Shaw did the announcing. You might remember him by the nickname of Cookie. He still subscribes to the Gowrie News and lives in Buckeye, Arizona. He finds it fun to read Down Memory Lane and remembers a lot of the stories. He was here in 2014 for the 4th of July and is unable to return now. He did get to see his friends Dick Anderson and Mary Harklau. He worked for their dad Er-ick Anderson when he was younger. He would love to hear from those who knew him when he lived here.

The Emmy Award®-nominated laugh-fest visits Ames, featuring the funniest finalists from

the summer’s best-loved comedy competition.

We’ll miss you, Bret... Hey yo! Tyler here, and experimenting with various greetings. For some odd reason, I really like to greet people like Scott Hall from the old World Championship Wres-tling promotion. Just as long as I don’t start throwing toothpicks at people, I should be just fine. I want to promise you, that despite all of the somber publicity this area has had as of late, I am going to be positive this time around. In this situation, I have to be positive. Tragedy strikes when least expected. It’s always sad to see someone pass away in a freak accident, or be taken away before their designated time. I can’t imagine how that affects the immediate family members and friends, as I’ve never experience that type of loss. Hopefully, I pray that it will never hap-pen. However, in the wake of such loss, I’ve seen and been a part of the outpouring of love and condolences for Krystal Steck, their children and Bret’s loved ones and friends. It goes to show how Bret touched everyone’s

lives in one way or another. Personally, he never got to know Bret as much as a few of our mutual friends. But each time I interacted with him, there was always a positive aura surrounding him. His smile and laugh was contagious, brightening anyone’s day with his outgoing personality. I remember that he always called me “Iverson” at Southeast Webster High School, as I wore Allen Iver-son jerseys quite frequently in my youth. It made sense, I wore a lot of jerseys back in the day. It’s funny how I traded in those jerseys for more professional attire. Bret had a great knack for nicknames, and they were never insulting or demeaning. The last time I ran across Bret was at the Harcourt Appreciation Days a month ago or so. That weekend, I was struck with sickness and didn’t want to spread such a thing to anyone else. But as I moved back and forth from the parade route to the park in the short time that I worked the event, I saw a familiar face having a great time and laughing away with his pals. That was the Bret I knew and knew well. So when news of the accident broke of Bret’s passing, I immediately thought of those fleeting moments where he stood around with his friends. It was hard to fathom to see someone with so much life and happiness be taken away. All in all, Bret Steck was a standup guy. He left behind such a positive impact on his friends, family and acquaintances. Bret, you will be dearly missed, kind sir.

“It Pays to Advertise!”

Gowrie farmer John Nelson this summer transformed the Gowrie tennis courts into pickleball courts. Pickleball is a fast-growing sport that is very popular with anyone who tries the sport. It is suitable for third graders to senior citizens. The Gowrie City Council wisely approved this change and hopefully it will be popular in Gowrie as it is in other communities across the USA. John discovered the sport in Arizona. Many 55 plus communities (retirement com-munities) in Arizona have successfully started pickle-ball. It is popular with men and women. Frequently their grandchildren come to visit the seniors and the kids have also learned to play the game. This is a great sport for the entire family. Communities with old tennis courts that are not used very much should consider pickleball as a good al-ternative. ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ A few people in Dayton, who have been long time residents, can’t remember ever experiencing so much rainfall (over seven inches) that inundated our community and surrounding townships on Friday, Aug. 28. The usually quiet, gentle stream (Skillet Creek), became a small, raging river. A few people in the “river valleys” had to be rescued. A few vehicles were tem-porarily stranded in the flood. Most residents experi-enced water in their basements. Residents, and especially Dayton Rodeo lead-ers, were grateful that this downpour occurred a week before the annual Dayton Championship Rodeo.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈� Former State Senator Daryl Beall really miss-es representing this area in the State Senate. He remains friends with many people in our area. Daryl is very concerned that a voucher system in Iowa education will be disastrous for the public schools in Iowa. “If a voucher system becomes a reality in Iowa, the money will follow the student wherever that student goes,” Daryl said. Daryl retains that same high energy and enthu-siasm that served him well while he was a legislator. He deplores the Branstad veto on K-12 education spending and he expressed concern for the mentally ill in Iowa. Two institutions (Clarinda and Mount Pleasant) that served people with mental health issues were eliminated this year. Daryl enjoys reading history and he wants to start a book club.≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈

My heart is with the land, the family land, for it has been a part of us all for generations. I live here in a house that is also a part of me, for my great-grandfather Socrates homesteaded here in 1857, only a few years af-ter the fort was built. But my thoughts always return to the land, just three and a half miles northwest. There is my real home, the Ainsworth farm. For on this farm I was born and raised as were my father and his father, as were my children. I can almost picture how it must have looked when my great-grandfather came here. For as everyone knows it was a prairie. Grass and sky were all that could be seen for mile upon mile. For as yet there were no roads, no fences, nor any close neighbors. I guess there must have been a lot of lonliness. Of course there were the animals; the wolves, coyotes and wild horses. And of course there was the weather, including the terrible blizzards, as there was nothing to check the fury of a storm. Men and women like my great-grandparents were strong, especially in the desire to own their own place, and because of this desire, they were able to con-quer the elements. When they came they built their barn right away before the house because the stock was too important to lose. The men chopped down the trees, sent the logs to the sawmill and built the one room right away. A gun was hung far upon the wall because wolves and Indians were an ever present menace. Then came the work of breaking down the prai-rie – turning the prairie into land that would produce.

Men came who did this for a living averaging two acres a day at a cost of $2.40 to $4.50 per acre. With three to six yokes of oxen they cut a wide furrow 20” to 32” long. Even after this, it might take two to three years for the wet prairie to decompose enough to produce a full crop. We raised everything we needed except flour and seasonings and the work was done with a team of horses and feeble plows, not with the $60,000 tractors of today. Our livlihood depended upon the weather. Some years were good, as much as 90 bushels of corn per acre – others were as low as ten bushels per acre. Profits had the same highs and lows – from $.30 to $1.50 per bushel. Beside the continual work, there were also the fun times such as the square dances, card parties and family get-togethers. This is where ou took your date, ad we didn't have roller rinks or discos. I enjoyed it as did others. Many married in their teens and were busy raising children and trying to set up a household. I didn't marry until the age of 26, when I married a charming girl named Mary. Like most others of our time, we did not have enough money to set up a separate household so we stayed on the family farm. Like my father and my father's father and his father, I worked the land my whole life – our 600 acres never brought in a lot of money. But I continued on year after year sharing half of my crops with my father. For this was where my heart was and will be forever, the land at the Ainsworth farm.

By Tyler Anderson The Southeast Valley volleyball team, despite a 3-7 record, has to look on the positive side. At the Man-son triangular between Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayr-shire, Sioux Central and Manson Northwest-Webster, Southeast Valley earned the split to snap a five game los-ing skid. In their first match of the evening, the Jaguars dropped a 3-0 decision to Sioux Central. Southeast Val-ley dropped the first set 25-4, put up a fight in the second set before dropping 25-23 before the Jaguars lost the final set 25-14. Against the Rebels (4-3), the Jaguars were led by freshman Morgan Castenson, who tallied nine assists, nine digs. Junior Jaiden Ackerson contributed with two kills and two digs, while senior Cassie Zinnel tallied two kills and six digs. Senior Kearsten Hainzinger, who tal-

Southeat Valley JVR Football team defeats East Sac county, 60-38 The Southeast Valley Freshman-Sophomore team got off to a great start on Thursday by beating East Sac County in Wall Lake, 60-38. There were some outstanding performances, as freshman Kyler Jondle scored four touchdowns against the Raiders. Nyles Johnson had one rushing touchdown and a 99 yard interception return for a touchdown. Freshman Kenny Blunk and sophomore Daven Rees also scored on rushing touchdowns. The offensive line was given credit by the Southeast Valley coaching staff, for enabling the offense to put up 60 points. Coach Johnson and Duncan were very happy with the first game. However, they know that the team has work to do to get them where the coach-ing staff wants them to be four years from now.

Gowrie UMC offers marriage classes Sunday, September 13 LOVE TO STAY, a marriage class hosted by the Gowrie United Methodist Church, will be offered beginning on Sunday, Sept. 13. In this small group book study, led by Gary and Kendale Vosberg, we’ll explore the meaning and mission of marriage. Childcare provided. It hopes to offer an honest, real, and hope-filled picture of the blessings and chal-lenges of marriage, and what it takes to make it work. Though the book focuses on marriage, so many of the principles can also be applied to other committed relationships and to nearly every other relationship in our lives. Adam Hamilton offers the book as part encouragement and part coaching, to help you achieve a love that lasts a lifetime. In sharing his thoughts on the subject, he’ll be drawing on several sources: the wis-dom of the Scriptures; the knowledge of experts in the field of relationships; a survey of 5,184 people affiliated with the church he pastors; the stories of hundreds of couples who have talked with him over the years about their marriages; and the experience of his 30 year mar-riage to his wife, LaVon. To register for the class, please email the Gowrie United Methodist Church office, to ensure they have the proper number of materials for the class, books cost $13.50 and are encouraged but not required.
