The SWG School Board will meet Wednes-day, Dec. 16, to approve final plans for construction of a roughly $3.85 million addition on the south and east sides of the Dayton Elementary School. Construction has already commenced on the project. The school board is considering two slight varia-tions of the project. The project will include a new gymnasium, a lobby, PE office, and at least two classrooms for the school’s day care program. The board is awaiting final financial figures from Piper Jaffrey & Hopwood on exact cost projections for two separate areas. The board will either construct one other room

Family, Christmas tree farm, and power lifting as a sport Thanksgiving is a special time of the year when all of us give thanks and we also spend time with family. I was blessed to be with my family once again in Wiscon-sin. I stayed with my sister Kim and her husband Paul Dimick, and their family at their home two miles south of New Richmond. My mother Rosalie, 88, going on 45, was there with my brother Denis. Austin, a freshman in college, came home for the holiday. Matthew, a sophomore in high school, was sometimes at home with his girlfriend and sometimes at her home. (He’s a fine, normal boy). And Elizabeth has been a precocious girl in junior high. Paul and Kim, who were both food science ma-jors in college, made a spectacular Thanksgiving feast and they worked diligently in the kitchen to make it all perfect. The food was so good and everyone had a good appetite. Thursday was a typical Thanksgiving Day com-posed of good conversation, good food, and of course, plenty of football. The Packers played Thursday night and they’ve been in a downtown with their high powered offense out of sync. But it was very special to see Brett Favre honored at halftime and culminate the ceremony by hugging Packer great Bart Starr. What a great moment that was! On Friday I did a little newspaper work, Kim went back to managing her motel in New Richmond, but Paul had the day off as a production supervisor at a large food processing plant in Clear Lake. Mom and Denis, who now live together in Altoona, drove back to their home late Friday afternoon. They started driving for Ari-zona on Saturday morning. On that Saturday I experienced a Christmas tra-dition of the Dimick family. We all went to a gigantic Christmas tree farm. They we “boarded” a large wagon which was pulled by a large tractor. We sang Christmas songs as the wagon was driven into the many acres of the farm. Once we arrived at a destination, Paul and Kim led us back to the main complex. They found a small grove of large spruce trees, and after family members debated the pros and cons of about five trees, one was indeed se-lected. The farm supplies a saw and a tarp for wrapping and pulling on the ground. At the Christmas tree farm we did enjoy some hot chocolate. We also ventured into one of their highly decorated barns and on the second level there were sev-eral unique games that were large, handmade complexes that required some skill and patience to navigate. That afternoon we watched the New Richmond JV basketball team compete. Matthew is a starting guard and he is a good ball handler. But the Tigers were matched against the Old Abes from Eau Claire and the Eau Claire team won handily. But Matthew played well. Kim did give me a tour of the New Richmond High School. It is quite a facility. It is very new, im-pressive, and I mentioned to Kim that these high school facilities/amenities were much nicer than what I had ex-perienced at UW-River Falls when I was in college. One of the unique sports at New Richmond is power lifting and the Dimicks are major participants. Austin competed in power lifting, choosing this as his winter sport over wrestling. Dad Paul is an assistant coach and he’s a big promoter. Elizabeth is involved in power lifting in junior high. The power lifting facilities at the school are extensive. This year there are 72 students, in high school and junior high, who are competing in power lifting at New Richmond High School this year. It is becoming a very popular sport and more schools in Wisconsin are offering the sport, although the overall numbers are still relatively small. The Dimicks had their home built two years ago in Lundy Reserve. A similar home in the city of New Richmond would cost them about $8,000 per year in tax-es, so the decision to build on a few acres outside of town was mostly because of property taxes. Through the holiday we took turns saying a prayer at a meal. On Sunday we attended their Missouri Synod Lutheran Church in New Richmond. Naturally, the Lutherans had coffee and goodies served after church. I called my daughter Sunday afternoon. Joan-na has her doctorate and is a college teacher at Georgia Southern in Statesboro, GA. Last year I flew to States-boro for Christmas to be with her and her boyfriend Ted, who teaches sociology at Georgia Southern. This year I have conflicts so I won’t be able to see them until spring or summer.

I called my son Daniel. He is newly married and is doing fine. Daniel and Kristen reside in North Las Vegas and Daniel is in the Air Force. I’m planning to see Daniel and Kristen in March. Son David is a full time college student, works two jobs, and I couldn’t reach him by phone. While I was talking to Daniel and Joanna, and others, Kim and Paul and their children were decorating their eight-foot Christmas tree. Their entire house was transformed into a Christmas mecca. Everything was beautiful. On Monday Matthew and Elizabeth were back in school, Austin was back in College, and Paul and Kim were back to their normal jobs. I was alone in their beau-tifully decorated home with their well behaved puppy. Thanksgiving days with family are very special and they end too fast. Over time we have some cherished holiday memories.

SV Middle school attends Kids’ CaucusHistorical Museum of Iowa... On December 3rd, a group 7th and 8th graders from Southeast Valley Middle School attended the Kids’ Caucus event at the State Historical Museum of Iowa.

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

Last summer I received a letter from a long time ago church member then living in North Carolina. In the letter were some memorabilia. He and his wife were moving to a new home in Florida and “cleaning out their collection”. He sent me pictures of long time members, only one of whom was still with us. I had copies made and shared with the offspring of the photos’ subjects; some of the offspring probably now being around the age of their parents when the pictures were taken. Along with the pictures was a piece of paper on which were words I had penned in February of 1980 for some reason. This possibly was a Lenten offering. I somehow recall that the congregation was asked to write something apropos for a daily Lenten study booklet. The article was headed “Sat-urday, February 23, 1980 Scripture Reading: John 16:16-22. I’d like to share with you now at Christmas time.SORROW NOW BUT JOY IN THE MORNING Last Christmas we celebrated Easter, for it was not as much the Christ Child but the Risen Lord who was withus. The excitement of last minute preparations for church and family festivities was dimmed by the deaths of two people close to us, my aunt (my “second mother”) and our daughter-in-law’s mother. Still, through the Holy Spirit, our family was drawn together Christmas Eve and we did celebrate our Lord’s birth, not as previously planned but with a haphazardly prepared potluck and hastily wrapped packages. Though we were sad, we rejoiced for this year

A Christmas Message...we were experiencing the true meaning of Christmas. Christ was with us saying, “This is why I came. (Ref. John 18:37 RSV) He said, “You have sorrow now but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice… (Jn. 16:20 RSV) We ended our day by attending Christmas Eve services, worshipping and communing with others. While we did have tears, we felt the peace and joy of Christ’s presence and the rose on the Jesse tree reminded us that Christ is the resurrection and the life; that those who believe in Him shall never die. (Ref. Jn. 11:25-26 RSV) How Wonderful! Easter at Christmas!A VERY JOYOUS CHRISTMAS TO ALL

8th grade Jag boysdefeat Manson NW,Glidden-RalstronEverything clicks. . . The Southeast Valley 8th grade basketball team used a pressure defense and fast break scoring to defeat Manson Northwest Webster by the final of 41-31. The Jags took control early with 15-2 first quarter and contin-ued to momentum in the second to take a 28-8 halftime lead. Everything was clicking in the first half as the defense created turnovers and the offense was putting the ball in the hoop. The second half the defense stayed ag-gressive, but the Jags had a little difficulty cashing in on the offensive end of the floor. The Jaguars were still able to control the game and never let the lead get under double digits as they were ahead 33-19 at the end of the third quarter and won by the final score of 41-31. Scoring for Jaguars were Ross Halligan (2), Calvin Williamson (2), Hunter Kruse (3), Carter Lane (12), Quinton Clancy (3), Chase Swieter (14), Jared Kastendieck (5). The Jags move to 1-2 on the season and are in Burnside against Glidden-Ralston on December 10th.Southeast Valley Handles Glidden-Ralston The Jaguar 8th grade took a 41- 29 victory over the Wildcats in a fast paced game. The Jags jumped out quickly and held a 2-point advantage 12-10 after a quar-ter of play. Then the Jaguars really turned up the defensive pressure by forcing turnovers that lead to easy points and took a 27-17 lead into the halftime break. It was more of the same pressure in the third quarter as the Jags contin-

ued to roll and were able to extend the lead to 18 points at a 38-20 score. The Jags ended the game with 12 point victory at 41 -29 to improve to 2-2 on the season. Scoring for Southeast Valley were Ross Halligan (5), Hunter Kruse (12), Carter Lane (9), Quinton Clancy (2), and Chase Swieter (13). The Jaguars will host Ogden on December 11th in Burnside.

CHURCHWorship Schedule On Thursday, December 10th, the Jaguar wres-

tling team took the long trek North to Graettinger to partic-ipate in a tough quad, grappling with three strong wrestling squads, South Central Calhoun, Graettinger Terril-Ruthven Ayshire, and Pocahontas Area. As a team the Jags dropped three of the duals wrestled but gained some valuable ex-perience along the way. In the first dual SSC clipped the the Jags 42-33, the host team Graettinger topped the Jags 50-29, and in the final Poky Area defeated the Jags 60-21. Individually, Kaelan Lundberg finished the night 3-0; Trey Lawrence, Kyler Jondle, Colton Klingson, & Zeke Miller went 2-1; Coledon Bethel, Bryce Scott, and Evan McCrady finished 1-2 and Carter Fuckinger and Ivan Hud-son went 0-3. Tony Crampton finished 1-1 and Matt Ross went 0-1. “Our young squad tangled with the top teams in the conference tonight and overall didn’t wrestle that bad. They are making some positioning mistakes against some more experienced wrestlers that cost them in matches. 160 lbs. Freshman Kyler Jondle continues to impress beat-ing the 7th ranked 1A wrestler from Graettinger and won a close match against a solid wrestler from SCC. 170 lbs Junior Kaelan Lundberg also had a solid night recording three falls.”

On the road again..... The Jags traveled westward to participate in the Maple Valley-Anthon Oto tournament Friday night, December 11th. Usually, the tournament is contested on Saturday, but tournament officials decided to try a Friday afternoon weigh in and Friday night wrestling. Despite the long night Thursday, the Jaguars came to wrestle, finishing fifth in the eleven team field even without the services of Heavyweight Tony Crampton leaving ten wrestlers in the line up. The Jag freshman and sophomores led the team, placing three wrestlers in the finals, sophomores Colton Klingson and Trey Lawrence and freshman Kyler Jondle. Klingson and Jondle made their first appearance in their career while Lawrence made his second appearance after a runner up performance his freshman year. 113 lbs. Coltan Klingson upped his record to 9-4 by pinning Kyler Duis of Manson in back and forth match finally catching Duis on his back in the third period, winning his first title in his ca-reer. Klingson wrestled a solid tournament, wrestling ag-gressively and staying in good position. He recorded three fall in the tournament. Sophomore 132 lbs. Trey Lawrence also wrestled a solid tournament, pinning Marvin Hil-dreth of West Monona in the second period winning his first MV-AO tournament title. Trey also pinned his way through the tournament pushing his season record to 12-1. Freshman 160 lbs. Kyler Jondle(10-4) pulled a big upset in the semi’s beating ninth ranked and previously unde-feated Tyler Zieman of Cherokee 4-3 in the semi-finals but couldn’t quite bring home the gold and was defeated by se-nior Parker Pruel of Denison, 8-4. Jondle was up by a point in the third period when he took a shot, lost his balance and was caught on his back for a big five point move. Junior 170 lbs. Kaelan Lundberg(10-4) finished with a strong third place finish by defeating Philip Minkler of Poky by fall. Sr. 182 lbs. Zeke Miller and 120 lbs. Evan

Southeast Valley Wrestling squad dropped three but gained valuable experience

McCrady finished fifth, Freshman 106 lbs. Coledon Bethel finished 6th; Freshman 138 lbs. Carter Fluckiger and fresh-man 152 lbs. Ivan Hudson did not place while senior 195 lbs Bryce Scott had to injury default out the tournament. “Finishing in the top five in this tournament is a nice feather in the guys hat. I think we were hovering in seventh or eighth position before the final round started. The guys put together a nice final round clawing their way up to fifth place. Zeke wrestled a nice match for fifth place, reversing an earlier loss against his Maple Valley opponent. Carter had probably one of the toughest overall brackets in the tournament, drawing the # 1 seed first round and catching a tough senior in the backside only losing 5-0. Ivan also showed improvement but couldn’t quite pull out a victory in the conso’s.” The Jaguars are back in action December 17, Thursday night at home against Guthrie Center, Ogden, and Pan-orama. Team Results: 1. Pocahontas Area 194, 2. West Monona 158, 3. Cherokee 129, 4. Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn 125.5, 5. Southeast Valley 121.5, 6. Denison-Schleswig 120, 7. Manson Northwest Webster 113, 8.

SV 7th grade Jagboys have positivesigns in three games The 2015-16 Southeast Valley 7th grade boys basketball season has gotten off to a busy start. The young Jags had quite a task ahead of them to start the season by playing 4 games in 7 days with very limited practice time. On December 3rd SV played host to Newell Fonda at SVMS.The Jaguars got off to a slow start in the first game of the year getting outscored by the Mustangs, 9-2. Points continued to come slow for the SV team and the Jags trailed 20-6 at the half. Southeast Valley could only muster 5 second half point and went on to suf-fer the defeat 35-11. Southeast Valley was led in scoring by Sam Hanson with 8 points, Hunter Sorenson had 2 and Carson Lambert had 1 point. Coach Valentine commented on the game by saying he thought the team played very tight and nervous and just never got settled in to execute the offense. It was good to finally get out on the floor and play.Jags host Woodward-Granger On Friday, December 4th the Jags played host to the Hawks from Woodward-Granger.SV was eager to get back on the court and try to improve from the firsts game. The Jags got off to a slow start and fell behind 8-2 after the 1st quarter and trialed 19-6 at the half. W-G put some pressure defense on the Jags at times in the second half and went on to win the game 43-16. SV was led in scoring by Sam Hanson with 12 points. Memphis Simpson added the other 4 points for Southeast Valley. Commenting on the contest Coach V

said we managed to get a few more things done on of-fense but still allowed them to many points on Defense. We did a pretty decent job of rebounding. That was one positive stat we could take away from this game. On December 7 SV had yet another home game when they hosted Manson/NW. The jags came out very determined and trailed by just one point at the end of the 1st quarter, the score was 7-6. Both teams struggled some on the offensive side of the floor with the Cougars scoring 8 point and SV scoring 7 point in the second quarter. SV trailed 15-13 at the half. SV did keep the balanced scoring gong in the third quarter and did win the 3rd quarter by the score of 7-6. In the end the Jags came up short and lost 28-24. The Jags were lead by Sam Hanson with 14 points, Memphis Simpson had 8 and Carson Lambert scored 1 point with a free throw. Coach V gave a couple thoughts at the end of the game saying that he was proud of the guys as they played a little harder than the first two games, we did manage to win a quarter but missed too many free throws down the stretch which was the differ-ence. On Thursday, December 10th SV had yet an-other home game by hosting Glidden Ralston at SVMS. With it being the second of three games for the week and coming off 2 days of not being able to practice the Jag-uars struggled at the offensive end of the floor and dug themselves a hole and were never able to get out. SV trailed 9-3 after one and 15-7 at the half. The third quarter proved to be a little closer for SV just get-ting outscored by one, 7 to 6 but still trailed 22-13 after three. G-R went away and won the game 38-19. Coach V commented by saying it was just a tough night at both ends of the floor. WE had a hard time getting into the offense and executing it correctly and also had some breakdown on the defensive end as well. Sam Hanson lead SV with 17 points and Carson Lambert had 2. to round out the scoring.

Sara’s church, Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, is a small church with quite a few retirees and a number of younger families so you know it is not a “rich” church. However they are very mission minded. They fill food bags twice a year for Meals from the Heartland doing at least 30,000 meals. They take a “Sunday dinner” type meal to the Des Moines Shelter and Services to the “residence” four times a year, feeding up to 250 or so persons, their “signature” being ice cream sundaes and cookies as well as leaving cereal, juice, milk and bananas for the next day’s breakfast. This meal costs a minimum of $750. They are “supporters” of St. Joseph’s Family Shelter, taking an evening meal for at least 30 people once a month. This is a special one of pizza, etc and des-sert and drinks and juice and milk plus taking cleaning, hygiene supplies, hats, gloves socks,etc., bedding and bath supplies that are collected each month. Also they have helped with carpeting, vacuum cleaner, repairs, etc. when can. They also are sponsors of a local grade school and before school begins collect many needed supplies that parents can’t afford and try to help throughout the year as things come up. They pledge to help if a child needs some sort of clothing or other things needed. Year round they collect peanut butter and jelly for Friday back packs for a num-ber of children whose families may not have lots of food at home. During the week they can get both breakfast and lunch and this particular school is 100% free meals. Their ladies create around 400 various sized quilts each year and a couple hundred (approx.) given to head start children to keep, nursing homes, their own home or facility bound, new babies, others when they hear of special needs, etc. They help a local community center provide Christmas food baskets for needy -providing almost $2,000 worth of canned goods this year, the occasional “special” mission project , local or through ELCA. Sara has for a number of years put up a tree for gifts for the church. She puts “themed” articles on it which there is a tag with an item for the church any-

This year Sara has little “nutcrackers” or shelf sitters (various Christmas figures). “I have had bear trees, monkey trees, sock trees, etc. There is sign saying “Find a Friend, take to keep, bring back tagged item”. Things are already piling up around it” says Sara.

Board Chair...Dear Editor, Making the decision to buy more ground is likely the most difficult cost vs. benefit analysis a farmer undertakes. You have to consider many factors. What is the CSR and what practices will you have to implement to meet yield goals? Does the price compare to equivalent ground? Can your current equipment handle that much acreage? There are always risks. But, if you never look past year one, the forecasts are rarely profitable. Buying more ground is a long-term investment and signing on the dotted line means you’re planning your legacy. The mathematical and emotional analysis to buy 80 acres is much like the scrutiny with which our board decided to recommend a merger of Farmers Cooperative Company and West Central Cooperative for our mem-berships. You know you’re only going to get one shot at it in your lifetime. Yes, there will be change and some risks, but you’re building your operation to be stronger and more profitable. You’re making a decision to make your operation better for the long-run. Today, FC and West Central are offering our members a historic opportunity to grow and improve our cooperatives. To be stronger for our members so we can build better, faster assets for you sooner; to maintain strength in your equity structures through diversification; and to provide better services by improving productivity. As your farming operations grow around us, we have to improve and change. We cannot just keep pace; we have to be ahead and ready when you are. Merging two strong cooperatives offers our members power in numbers and continues local ownership and service. Your cooperative and our people will continue to serve you. Our location staff may be wearing different logos as a result of a member-approved merger, but we will continue serving your farming operation with atten-tive and progressive employees year after year. After months of review and in-depth research, our farmer Boards unanimously recommend this merger to our members. Our recommendation is now your deci-sion. This merger, like expanding and improving your operation with new ground, is a significant decision. We encourage members to participate in our informational meetings, learn about our recommendation, visit with our employees and weigh pros and cons. Now is the time to position our cooperatives for the future. We ask that when you return your ballot, you vote yes for the merger of FC and West Central. Every member matters. Please sign on the dotted line, and vote.
