It wasnt pretty, but the Southeast Valley girls basketball team
got it done. In a rather low scoring affair, the Lady Jaguars defeated St.
Marys of Storm Lake, 37-30 on Dec. 19.

You know, it was a defensive battle that we won, Amber Sorenson, assistant coach for the Lady Jags, said. I told them coming into this
game I didnt want to let [St. Marys] score very many points. I wanted
the defensive pressure to come up a notch. We have to have our defense
there to rely on, because if we cant put points on the board, we have to
keep our opponents from putting points on the board.

The Panthers began the game by taking advantage of Jaguar fouls
and turnovers, running out to an early 3-0 lead with less than seven minutes remaining. The Lady Jags were held scoreless until five minutes left
in the first quarter, where junior guard Josie Breitsprecher was brought
to the charity stripe. This sparked a 6-0 run with the help of junior guard
Cassie Zinnels three-pointer, extending the Southeast Valley lead to 6-3
by the end of the first buzzer.

The second quarter would continue to see the Jaguar girls and
Panthers trade possessions until both sides would exchange scores with
six and half minutes remaining. Southeast Valley led by as much as seven
with 3:24 to go, until the Panthers bridged the gap to two with less than
30 seconds left.

However, junior forward Aaliyah Scott would knock in a backdoor shot to keep Southeast Valleys lead intact by the break.

Coming back from halftime, the Jaguar girls would lead by as
much as seven points with less than three minutes into the third quarter.
The Panthers would rebound from the deficit, coming within three with a
minute remaining. Breitsprecher would respond with a quick layup as the
third buzzer.

St. Marys would begin the final quarter with a score, before Zinnels second three of the game kept the Panthers at arms length. With
another score from senior guard Nicole Williams, Southeast Valley took
an eight point lead with six minutes remaining.

Despite the Lady Jag lead, the Panthers continued to climb back
with a Mackenzie Levan jumper, as St. Marys remained within six points
with 2:54 remaining. The Jaguar girls would be hampered by turnovers
and fouls, allowing St. Marys to trail by two with a minute left. In a proverbial race to the finish, it was Breitsprecher, Williams and Rittgers who
came through for the Lady Jags at the free throw line.
Breitsprecher would lead the Lady Jaguars with 11 points, followed by
Zinnel with eight points and Williams with seven. St. Marys were led by
Riley Lenhart with 7 points, while cousins Katie Lenhart and Trisha Lenhart contributed with six points. Mackenzie Levan also added six points
for the Panthers.

The Lady Jags are now 6-3 and will travel to Humboldt on Dec.
22. St. Marys (2-6) will not return to the court until Jan. 9, where the
Panthers will face South Central Calhoun.

We want to go into the break playing strong [against Humboldt]
and then we have two weeks off, Sorenson said. We wont play again
until Jan. 9, so we have a lot of work to do.

Jags survive St. Marys

in a thriller, 66-61
By Tyler Anderson

The Panther Pit was rocking and St.
Marys had the speed, but it was Southeast Valleys size and toughness that got the job done. In
Twin Lakes Conference action on Dec. 19, the
Jaguars (5-3) eluded St. Marys by a score of 6661 in Storm Lake.

Before the game, we thought we can
get some scoring inside, Kyle Johnson, Jaguars
head coach, said. The guys got the ball to [leading scorer Dakota Jaeschke] really good and he
was aggressive in there. He went after the boards
on those second shots and rebounds.

Both squads would exchange blows in
the beginning, before St. Marys would assume
an early 5-2 lead. With six and half minutes remaining in the first, sophomore forward Dakota
Jaeschke would score on the put back to keep
a one point gap. Both Southeast Valley and St.
Marys would exchange leads and ties, all before
junior guard Cade King would sink a three from
the corner to give the Jags a 20-18 lead by the
first buzzer.

I really thought that Cade King was really aggressive in that first half and really did a
great job putting the pressure on and getting
some big buckets, Johnson said of Kings performance.

The second quarter displayed even more
ferocity between the two squads, each exchanging visits to the charity stripe early on. While
the Jaguars would manage out a 29-25 advantage with less than five until the half, St. Marys
would tie it up at 33 all with a six point run from
Eric Broich.

Both sides continued to battle for supremacy, before Southeast Valley went into the
locker room with a marginal 37-36 lead. Returning from the break, Jaeschke would use his size
to his advantage and open up a 41-36 lead for
the Jaguars. Junior guard Logan Boerner would
also aid in Jaeschke, knocking in a three from
the right hand side of the arch to give the Jags a
nine point lead with more than four minutes in
the third quarter.

The Panthers would manage to keep the
game within six, before Conner Conrad would
drive it in for a score. St. Marys Demers would
not let the Jaguars get away, as another threepointer kept the Panthers within seven. Along
with a Riley Godfredson free throw, the Panthers
would trail 54-48 by the third buzzer.
Jaeschke would begin the final stretch with four

points from the post, the Jags took a 60-52 lead
with 6:09 left in the contest. Despite the advantage, the Panthers would creep back into the
game before a Boerner three would keep the Jags
ahead by five with 3:40 remaining. In a turn for
the best, St. Marys Demers would get fouled
out, hampering the Panthers ability to score
from threeland.

With 1:08 left, St. Marys managed to
keep the game within three. Undeterred, the Jaguars would play keep away from the Panthers until King was fouled and brought to the line. From
there on out, Southeast Valley was able to resort
to free throws and seal the win.

Jaeschke led Southeast Valley with 22
points, followed by King with 16 points and
Conrad with 10 points. St. Marys was led by
Josh Demers with 23 points while Broich and
Michael Demers contributed with 12 and 11
points respectively.

Obviously, we had a little size there,
Johnson said. I knew Dakota was very good inside, he had a soft touch and hes real steady. I
knew he would come on. [St. Marys] were in
that box zone with Conner, and it was hard to get
him some good looks. So we basically stayed in
our normal offense for what we were trying to
do.

The Jaguars will now take a holiday
break, returning to the court against Alta-Aurelia
on Jan. 9. The Panthers, who had a two game
winning streak snapped, will also not return to
the hardwood until Jan. 9 against South Central
Calhoun.

And the years roll by...

Can you believe it is time to get out the
2015 calendars? It seems that it wasnt that
long ago that the date was going to roll over to
1/1/2000 and people were predicting all kinds
of upsets. Computers, TVs, clocks, practically
anything technilogical, were going to crash.
But the ball came down in Times Square, horns
were tooted and confetti tossed and an hour later in Iowa, then the next hour to the mountains
to the west and finally another hour to the west
coast and we woke up the next morning and
everything was still operating. Now 15 years
later we dont expect any problems in our electronic age systems but who knows what else
may happen in our topsy-turvy world?

We hope and pray, as we do each year,
that situations will be different, and better all
around the world. Wed like to see or hear
about an economical turn around, diseases such
as ebola and other dreaded ones being conquered and eliminated. Wed like to see hunger and homelessness all around the world be a
thing of the past. Wed like to see people being
more civil to one another in all circumstances,
to weigh the consequences of uprisings, on our
own streets and the world round. Wed like to
see mans inhumanity to man dwindle to extinction. But, human nature is what it is and
no doubt, disease and all the other evils will
continue to exist so we strive, as individuals,
to live and treat others as we would like to be
treated. Wed like if someday our civility and
compassion would be so powerful as to be contagious. But while that probably wont happen, we know that the world will keep spinning
each day and with or without clouds the sun
will rise and set.

As we see each New Year dawn many
of us remember the past and some, like me,
have a lot of years in that past. Our tendency
is to put the good things at the top of our reminiscing and put the less pleasant and bad in our
memory closets with the doors securely shut.
It has been three years (hard to believe) since I
started this column and that told the beginning
of my familys life in the Boxholm community. Moving day was one of the coldest days in
February, 1937, travelling through some high
snow banked roads but one of the best days of
our lives. It was the day we could begin to put
the depression days behind us. Our family soon
got to know our neighbors and make friends.
Boxholm is my home town and where my
parents established a place within the community and lived out their lives.

It was hard to make friends coming into
a new school that time of year and getting to
attend only about a week before coming down
with scarlet fever and being quarantined for
three weeks. Supposedly you could pass it on
to others for those three weeks. I havent heard
of scarlet fever in the U.S. for years. I wasnt
that sick after a few days and the rash disappeared almost immediately. My Mom and Dad
never caught it although they had never had it
so we came to the conclusion it wasnt quite as
easy to contract as experts thought. I didnt
really gain a close friend until the last days of
school and the fun day they had in those days
but from then on, my school days at Boxholm
Consolidated were pretty good.

I think the country kids probably looked
forward to the school starting in the fall more
than town kids because we couldnt see our
friends as easily as todays children can. Many
Moms didnt drive and besides, they were too
busy with their own farm duties. They had to
keep the house clean, washing and drying and
folding and ironing clothes without the most
modern equipment and keep baking done and
meals prepared. They were the ones who did

most of the gardening, and canning as large
cellars needed filling with many jars of garden
goodies for use through the winter. Canning
of some kind could take place almost every
day (except Saturday and Sunday) while the
garden was in full production. The chickens
were usually the housewifes domain too from
tending the babies to raising them to adult
birds when the majority of roosters were sent
to market. A few were kept for home butchering and taken to the locker, once there was
one in town and of course to keep hens happy
and producing eggs. The chickens had to be
fed and eggs gathered year round. Daughters
were usually taught that task when they got
old enough and tall enough to handle the feeding and egg gathering. At one time I learned
how to dress a chicken and cut it into the proper pieces. I didnt have to do the plucking.
I dont think that now I could make sure all
pinfeathers were removed, cut into the bird,
removing and cleaning out the insides and
finally cutting into the proper pieces without
mutilating it. I am not about to try and neither
is any of todays farm wives that I know. Most
of the farms have become BIG in the area and
are strictly grain and some hay farming. Times
have changed and many farm wives have jobs
away from the farm. Some may want to garden and have flowers because they enjoy it.

Back in the old days our big house
yard was a cooperative effort and I even had
to take a turn (a short one by comparison)
along with both parents in its mowing and upkeep. No power mowers were even heard of at
the time. There were a number of perennials
that had to be tended so I drew some of that
duty. Men usually did the separating, turning the crank by hand and taking care of the
cream storage. A certain amount of cream and
milk were kept for household use. I remember Mom making homemade cottage cheese
when there was an abundance of milk. I cant
remember having dairy cottage cheese until I
came to Des Moines but may have after we
moved into town. As to the separator parts,
the women always cleaned and washed them.

Farming was really a pretty cooperative effort for the whole farm family, once the
kids became old enough to help with or handle
various tasks. While I knew at least a couple
girls who could handle a tractor and other farm
equipment very well and milk a cow, boys
were the ones always expected to help. The
corn harvest was a big task and required all
available family members so in the hand picking days the school actually had a corn picking vacation in the fall. Those days could be
quite cold as there were no corn dryers so they
had to wait until nature matured and dried the
corn before picking. It remained on the cob in
the cribs until needed for feed and selling at
which time Mr. Snyder came with his sheller.
Some was directed to a farm wagon and taken
to the barn storage units and most was put into
a hired truck and taken to the Farmers Elevator.

Now we drive through North Central
Iowa past all those big farms with the huge
combines, semis with big grain trailers, and a
couple or so farmers handling many hundreds
of acres. Some of us remember a 240/360
acre farm requiring a number of men at times
to take care of the harvests. But, that was 70
years ago. How will todays youth remember
their farms and the operations 70 years into the
future? Time does have a way of slipping by
but for now, Happy, prosperous 2015 to all!

Riley Rittgers claims championship

at Jim Kinyon Invite
Dec. 20 at Story City...
The Jags wrestling team used the Jim Kinyon Invite as their final tune up before Christmas
break. At the end of the day, the Jags walked
away with one champ, a runner up, two thirds, a
fourth, and sixth place finish.
Based on criteria, in the seeding meeting Riley Rittgers(170)was seeded fourth, but claimed
his first championship at the Jim Kinyon Invite,
formerly known as the Roland Story Norsemen
Invite.
We thought Riley was a higher seed but
it worked out for him. It allowed him to get a
match first round where he pinned Chandler
Neumann of Gilbert in the first period.
In the semis Riley battled number one seed
Max Upah of East Marshall, claiming a tough
decision, 2-0 to put himself in the championship
match against Caleb Grose of Winterset. In the
finals, Riley wasted no time, using a front headlock to side cradle pinning Grose in 38 seconds.
Its good to see Riley get in a groove after
missing the last two seasons because of two major knee surgeries. He is still trying to find his
style of wrestling on a surgically repaired knee.
Fifth seeded Caleb Hemmestad(145) surprised the field by pinning his way to the championship where he succumbed to Jake Simon of
Grinnell finishing as runner up. In Calebs opening match, he pinned fourth seed Cliff West of
East Marshall in the first period. In the semis
he avenged an earlier season loss by pinning
Stephan Moore of Gilbert also in the first period.
Caleb is continuing to improve on the mat.
It was nice to see some confidence come out
after reaching his first finals appearance in his

was deadlocked at 15 at half. In the third quarter both teams still stayed very even not letting

even hard fought 7th grade games he had seen
in a very long time. SEV put up a great effort
and should be proud of the game they played.
On Tuesday, December 16, 2014 the Jags
headed back out on the road again to travel to
Rockwell City to do battle with the Titans of
SCCC. SEV trailed 1`2-8 after one quarter and
were down 17-15 at halftime. SEV was outscored 10-8 in the third quarter but did win the
fourth quarter outscoring SCCC 12-9 but ended
up losing the contest 40-34. Coach V commented on the game by saying that the whole game
we seemed to be trying to get over the hump but
never could, SCCC had three good players that
we could not contain that gave up problems,
SEV was lead by Chase Swieter with 16

advantage of it and secured the fall. Spencer
bounced back and scored a 15-2 major decision
over Derek Graham of Eagle Grove.
Tom Nahnsen(182), seeded fourth opened
with a tough match in the first round, pinning
Wyatt Miller of Winterset in the third round. In
his semi-final match Tom battled fourth ranked
Julio Sanchez of Grinnell(2A), eventually losing a 7-3 decision. In his third place match, Tom
scored a 7-6 decision.
The coaching staff thought Tom was probably a second or third seed in the tournament,
but because he didnt wrestle in the tournament the year before, based on criteria, he was
placed fourth which puts him on the top side of
the bracket with Sanchez. If he was seeded second or third, we thought he would have a good
chance to make the finals.
Freshman Trey Lawrence(132) continues
to battle hard for the Jags finishing in fourth
place. Trey recorded a 5-3 decision over Saxon
Lyman(Eagle Grove), in the semis Trey lost by
fall to eventual champ Tyson Manzer(Roland
Story). In the consos Trey scored a 6-4 decision
over Brian Greenfield(South Hamilton), pitting
him against Dalton Kies(Grinnell) for third.
Trey has battled pretty darn hard the first
part of the season. He has probably seen the
toughest competition at 132 than anyone on the
team.
Colton Klingson (106) finished in sixth
place, while Lee Fishbaugh (220) and Tony
Crampton (Hwt) did not place in the tournament. The Jags were without the services of
rBryce Scott who is nursing a ankle sprain from
dThursdays meet.
The guys knew this was going to be a
-tough tournament. There were some quality
steams with quality kids. For example, every kid
at 106 had a winning record, so most weights
ywere pretty competitive. Over break kids will
tget some time off to heal up aches and pains,
abut we really need to focus on getting everybody healthy, in shape, and get a consistent line

another portion of the state unless the business is considering in good
faith to relocate outside the state or unless the relocation is related to an
expansion which will generate significant new job creation. Jobs created
as a result of other jobs in similar Iowa businesses being displaced shall
not be considered direct jobs for the purpose of dispensing funds; and
