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 areJoe 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, Bretdiscussed 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. Hisfather, 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 hebelieves 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 heneeded, 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 the

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

Gowrie man remembered one year after tragic accident. . .

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. Thistank is operating much better now although there is stillsome 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.

AND MANY MORE FUN ACTIVITIES...

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 was

enough in the end for a final score of 1 to 3.The Jaguars had a couple of chances to score

ore 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 thefifth inning.

On the flip side the Jaguars some misjudgmentsand 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 Jaguars

really 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 Jaguarsto seal the win. Offensively the Jaguars all spread out their hits

with 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 basketballgames. 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 on

Despite the hot temps the Jaguars come up withwin against Woodward, MNW and Humbolt

this night however as theJaguars finally came awaywith a win with a 6 to 3 fi-nal score.

The Jaguars start-ed things with their batscollecting 7 hits throughoutthe night. Leaders for theJags were Myles Davis go-ing 2 for 2 which includeda double and finishing with2 RBIs. Nolan Johnsonwas not to be outdone alsogoing 2 for 2 and stealing 2bases as well. Cade King,Sam Berglund and NolanBrand were other Jaguarscollecting a hit each. No-lan Brands hit coming offa huge smash that clearedthe fence to give him hisfirst varsity home run andthe first on the year for theJaguars. Defensively itwas good to see the Jag-uars defense step up afterthe night before and have asolid game. Pitcher CadeKing did a great job pitch-ing on the night, going thecomplete game scatteringfour hits on 3 runs whileallowing 4 walks. Thiswas a win we needed dear-ly, with Cade throwing anexcellent game. It wasnice to finally beat Hum-boldt for once, said CoachAnderson .

June 1, Sioux Central /L1-5 (3-2 (0-1 Confer-ence)

Coming out of theMemorial Day weekendthe Jaguars first challengeof the week was visit-ing far off Peterson, IA tomatch up against the SiouxCentral Rebels. This game

was also a big one as both teams look to be on the top halfof 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 teamstandpoint.

The Jags actually had opportunities to strikemore 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.

Myles Davis took the mound and kept the Bulldogsoff the scoreboard until the fourth inning. Photo by Lisa Pe-terson.

June 15, 2016


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 teen

A crazy quilt of tales . . .age 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 visitorwas 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 in

the 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 samecouple 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 seeher 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 ofall the town churches. Methodist, Presbyterian and Chris-

tian joining and it washeld at the school house.(Wouldnt that be a bigtaboo today?) Mrs. Carna-han was deeply involved inthat too. I remember every-one meeting in the assem-bly for opening exercises,some Bible verse read-ing, prayer and especiallysinging. The one song Ilearned at those sessionswas Little Brown Churchin the Wildwood. It musthave been the favorite ofGeorgie Knight, of myGrandmas generation, an-other pillar/do-gooder ofthe community, who ledthe singing. When it cameto the refrain, she with herstrong, deep, loud, altovoice would really chimein on the oh come, come,come to the church---.Does anyone sing that songanymore? Another resident Iremember was Mae S. Shewas a maiden lady, a seam-stress by trade, who lived acouple blocks or so south.She had a long time boyfriend who farmed in thecommunity. The story, asI recall, was they each hada mother for whom theyfelt responsible. Maeshad gone to her reward butNeils still lived with him.

He came in every Sunday evening for supper and in niceweather you would see them going out to his old car.They were gone for a while and back they came shortlyafter which Neil left. Sometimes he would come someevening for a short stay during the week. At the timethey were quite a bit older than my parents and they nevermarried. The story in our family was told several timesabout Mom and Dad. They started going together inhigh school and after about seven years Mom said to Dadsomething like People are beginning to call us Mae andNeil. We are never going to have enough money. Sothey had a small wedding at one of my uncle and auntshouse and the few people attending had a supper there

with them. They were not Mae & Neil. They were stillyoung and had a strong union for over sixty five years. These are some of my St. Charles recollections.There may be more stuffed back in this old brain. Whoknows? Do you have similar tales of your very youngyears?

On Wednesday, June 8, the Jaguar Softball teamhosted West Central Valley in a non-conference contest.The Jags fell behind early, but were able to bounce backand claim the victory.

The Wildcats jumped on the scoreboard first inthe top of the first inning. The first batter led off with asingle and then the next batter reached on a Jaguar error.

The Jags were then able to turn a double play, but a twoout single was just enough to score the first run of thegame for West Central Valley.

The Jaguars tied the game in the bottom of thesecond inning when Cassidy Lambert reached on a singleand stole second base. She moved to third on a ground-out by Jaiden Ackerson and Sam Alphs was able to bringLambert home when she reached on a Wildcat error.

West Central Valley responded big in the top ofthe third inning. They started the inning with two singleand a double to score three runs and take a 4-1 lead on theJaguars.

The Jags werent going to back down. In thebottom half of the inning the Jags regained the lead. JosieBreitsprecher reached on an error to spark the rally. Nat-alie Lambert then laid down a bunt that was mishandled

and both runners were safe. Kasey Lundberg came upwith a big hit to score both Breitsprecher and Lmabert.Cassidy Lambert then moved Lundberg to third on a sin-

Jaguar Softballcontinues to find

ways to win The Southeast Valley Softball team continuedtheir wining streak by pulling together to beat EagleGrove 4-2. 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 Rittgersthen drove in Bretisprecher on a single and then stolesecond base. Morgan Castenson reached on an error that

scored 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 WalterVontrees, 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, planswere 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,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 andfurnace 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 where

the 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 Elwinand 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 slower

pace. 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

gle and stole second base. Both Lundberg and Lambertscored on a double by Jaiden Ackerson to put the Jags up5-4.

After a 1-2-3 defensive inning, the Jags addedfour more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. MadyJaeschke singled to start the inning. Josie Breitsprecherwas the hit by a pitch. With two outs, Erica Rittgers

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.

share with others in the event we may be accused to stating some-thing wrong. The next time you hear a message, whether it be ina church, a synagogue or a message at the local Care Center givenby lay people, look for ways that you can share that message withsomeone that doesnt attend church. This is how we can do Godsbiding and spread His word in our community. Prayer: Lord, help us to understand the messages we hearin church and then prod us to go out and spread the Good News toothers. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen
