Iowa native OConnell

wins Saddle Bronc event
at 78th Dayton Rodeo

The Dayton Rodeo was full of top 15 cowboys
that didnt make the cut for the final round at Ellensburg,
Washington.

Dayton is a popular stop for many cowboys, as
most of the top names stop in before heading over to Fort
Madison.

Fort Madison is just a few days after the Dayton Rodeo, where cowboys compete to get much needed
money leading up to the National Finals Rodeo that takes
place in December.

Wade Sundell could not make it because he
made the final round at Ellensburg and finished 5th place
out there. He is currently sitting 7th in the world.

Zwingle native and current top 15 cowboy in
the world Tim OConnell scored an 86 point ride Monday afternoon to earn the top spot in the Bareback Riding
contest. OConnell won $2,121 in the event.

The following cowboys are the winners in each
Dayton Rodeo event:

Steer Wrestling- Matt Koch, $1,354; Team
Roping- Tyler Johnson/Derrick Peterson, $1,450 each;

Saddle Bronc- Joey Sonnier III, 83 point ride,
$2,301; Calf Roping- Cody McCartney, $1,088;

Barrel Racing- Shelley Morgan, $1,338; Bull
Riding- Matt Dunsmore, 85 point ride, $2,538; Total
Payout - $63,733.

POET Biorefining joins the celebration in Dayton...

Dayton held its parade on Labor Day, and POET Biorefining, Gowrie had the American Ethanol float. They
tossed candy and frisbees that were a huge hit! Like the Gowrie 4th of July parade, POET team member Tom Taylors
daughter Teryn wore the Corn Costume.

Teryn was a celebrity for the day, even some of the parents along the parade route wanted pictures of their
kids with her. After the parade route, POET made its way back to where the parade started. They disassembled the
float and there were two people in their yard tossing one of our frisbees! It was a fun day had by all!

29 S. Main, Dayton-515-547-2317

I was in the Gowrie News office on a recent
Thursday afternoon and at 5:30 p.m. I walked to Marvs
Market Street Grill & Bar. The front area was full so I
ventured to the rear.

There is a large, rectangular table in back and
this table was completely full. . .except for one seat.

You have to be a Lutheran to sit at this table,
said one voice.

I chuckled. But where are the coffee and all the
baked goodies? I asked.

As a Lutheran Church member I was indeed invited to sit down. I sat next to my friend Dale Miller and
his wife Kay was seated on the other side.

On this Thursday night all the Lutherans were
eating Mexican dishes on this special Mexican Night at
Marvs. As usual, the restaurant was packed and everyone was having a good time. And believe me, the Lutherans werent missing out on any of the fun.

Bud Johanson, Gowrie, was at the table with his
wife Donita. Bud had just returned from the Iowa State
Fair where he placed high in the horse shoe competition.
Over the years Bud has either placed first or very high at
tournaments in Ames, Boone, Fort Dodge and at Victoria
Palms in Donna, Texas, where he was camp champ
during their winter retreat.

Ive learned from my local sourcs that Bud was
once a very good baseball player in Lanyon. Those Lutherans can be pretty darn good.

My former long time friend in college, Vic
Pernell, died in late June from injuries sustained in a traffic accident in Port Charlotte, FL.

Some years back Vic visited me in Dayton quite
often and he met many people here.

I attended a funeral ceremony held in August in
North Oaks, MN, for Vic. His daughter Rebecca and son
Douglas were there with many other friends of the family. It was so good to see people I hadnt seen in many
decades.

On my way back to Iowa I recalled so many
wonderful people who have passed away in our south
Webster County communities the past few years. We
will miss them all.

Weve had some good response on several interurban train stories we have featured in both the Gowrie
News and Dayton Review. We will have more of those
early train stories featured in future weeks.

I would have liked to have boarded an Interurban (electric) train at the Hope station (south of Harcourt) and then sojourn to Des Moines and come back the
same day via the train. It was all possible in the thirties
and forties and for several years in the fifties in our area.

Thank you
for attending the 78th
annual Dayton Rodeo
Hope to see yall next year!

Southeast Valley Jaguars edge

Dayton Review

Jaguars now 3-0, will play Shenandoah for district lead...

By Tyler Anderson

Is it safe to start calling the Southeast Valley
football team the Cardiac Jags now?

In their third consecutive nailbiter, the Southeast
Valley Jaguars used a two yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Kaleb Jondle and PAT by senior Cade
King to edge out East Sac County 27-26 on an autumnlike Friday evening in Gowrie.

The Jaguars (3-0) overcame five turnovers during the game to defeat the Raiders (0-3) with a late 70
yard drive in the games closing minutes, earning their
best start in their young, two-year history.

The offensive line did a great job all night,
said Head Coach Mike Swieter, who gave credit to the
Southeast Valley linemen. But I was was very happy at
the end of the game, when we were deciding what to run.
The line told me to use the power run and that we would
get it in. And they did.

In the first quarter, the game began well enough
for Southeast Valley once more.

The offense appeared in sync with a nine-play
opening drive which culminated in a four yard touchdown run by junior running back Aaron Swieter.

East Sac County was forced to punt initially, but
a muffed punt gave way to great field position for the
Raiders.

The Raiders then used the early turnover to
score. However, a blocked PAT kept the Jaguars up front
in a 7-6 advantage.

The Jags would then turnover the ball on downs,
before an interception by senior cornerback Keaton Jondle led to 10 play scoring drive which resulted in a two
yard score by none other than Keaton Jondle.

After the extra point by King, Southeast Valley
held onto the 14-6 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Southeast Valley would hold onto that lead into
halftime, as a stout goal line defense stalled an 11 play
drive by the Raiders.

I was very happy with our defense on the early
goal line stand, Swieter said.

Unfortunately, the Jaguars came up short as junior quarterback Nolan Brand was picked off with less
than six minutes left in the half.

The defense responded quickly, as junior Sam
Berglund recovered a Raider fumble.

After an exchange of stalled drives by both
squads, the scoreboard still read a 14-6 Southeast Valley
lead.

Coming back from the break, the Jaguars responded big time following an East Sac three-and-out
with a 30 yard touchdown pass from Brand to King.

The Raiders refused to fade, scoring on a nineplay touchdown drive to keep the score within reach.

The Jaguars gave up another fumble, but saw
King get an interception in return.

The Jags were unable to capitalize on the turnover, fumbling the ball back into Raider hands. At the end
of the third quarter, Southeast Valley held on to 20-12
lead.

East Sac County took advantage of the fourth
quarter, converting a seven-play into points.

The Jaguar defensive unit held their ground during the two point conversion, their third of four two point
attempts by the Raiders.

East Sac County then took the lead following a
Nolan Brand interception and 10 play drive.

With more than four minutes remaining, the
Raiders led the Jags 26-20.

It was then that Southeast Valley responded
with a 70 yard march to the endzone, putting the Jaguars
ahead for good.

It was not without drama, as East Sac took the
ball with 18 ticks to play and made things interesting with
a hook and ladder play that resulted in numerous laterals.

This time, the Jags shut the door on the improbable, as Aaron Swieter made the fumble recovery as time
expired.

It was a great team effort, Coach Swieter said.
This team is battling a lot of injuries, but are finding
ways to win. They have a never quit attitude.

But we have to eliminate the turnovers. We
cant continue to win with that many mistakes. We had
16 turnovers in the first three games. To be 3-0 and to be
giving these teams all those extra possessions, it shows
you that if we eliminate the errors, we can be very good.

Kaleb Jondle led the Jags on the ground, notching his second straight contest with more than 100 yards
rushing with 108.

King led Southeast Valley with four receptions
for 72 yards and one touchdown against the Raiders.

Defensively, senior Conner Conrad led the team
with eight tackles, followed by junior Ryan Gustafson
with six.

Junior Alex Pliner had five total tackles, three

tackles of tackles were for a loss.

The Jaguars will take a road trip next Friday,
traveling to Shenandoah.

The Mustangs (3-0) narrowly defeated Red
Oak, 14-13. This upcoming game will determine who sits
atop of the district.

The winner of this game (against Shenandoah) will have the district lead after two regular season
games, Swieter said. Its going to be a big game for
both programs.

Hi there, friends. Tyler here for the umpteenth
)time. Man, I really need to switch up my greetings.

So the 78th edition of the Dayton Rodeo is done
and over with, and it was quite entertaining. Kudos to the
,Dayton Rodeo Celebration Committee and the Dayton
,Wranglers in keeping the tradition alive, while showcasing some top-notch talent.

Also, I cant tell you how much I love the Wild
Horse Race. I personally wouldnt want to do it, but its
something to watch. Much respect to those who were a
part of it this past Labor Day Weekend.

Things are starting to calm down just a little bit
here at the office. Ive learned that its a bit of a feast or
famine when it comes to local news. Especially in the
middle of summer and in the dead of winter.

To those who call us or send stuff into us, its
greatly appreciated and I highly encourage you all to keep
up the good work.

I wish I could be everywhere and anywhere in
between, but Im just one guy.

Im going to keep it simple this week and go
with the sports route.

Its my forte, as youve seen with the football
stories, along with the sports previews of volleyball,
cross country and upcoming previews of boys basketball, girls basketball and wrestling.

Also, if you were a huge fan of the graphic on

Water, water everywhere...

Have you ever experienced the news in the present taking you back to incidents of the past? Apparently
that has happened to me. The recent heavy rains and
flooding reminded me of a past time of heavy rains and
then flooding.

Quite some time ago I wrote about my friend
Bonnie and I having a great time playing in a pond on
the farm. It was no ordinary pond but one that had been
formed by heavy rains in the summer of 1940. This pond
was one of several on the farm on which I was living. I
have referred to peat fields before, those reclaimed areas
that over a century ago were marshy areas reclaimed by
tough, hard-working immigrants. Some were so low and
tiling wasnt as perfected as (hopefully) it is now. By the
time we played in the pond most of the water had evaporated and it was more like a hog waller.

In 1940 many of those ponds stayed a long time
and destroyed the crops that had been on them and it was
too late to replant once they had finally dried up. Ditches
along the flattest rural graveled roads were filled to overflowing, covering the roads and spilling into adjacent
fields. In some the crops of corn were high enough and
the waters receded fast enough so they werent completely lost. One of those gravel roads was between what was
then the Swanson place (Ray Starks family may have
been on that farm at the time) and my Aunt and Uncles
place to the east now no sign of any buildings ever having been there.

Apparently the water had sufficiently receded
to the point there was a very, very shallow covering of
the road but the ditches were still full and pouring into
the fields and the road was passable (moving very slowly

down the middle, of course). Boone county must have

maintained those roads quite well as they held up under the flooding. How do I know this? I found a picture
in my Moms old photo album. It was of our old 1931
Chevy in the middle of that still water covered road. My
mom was sitting on the bumper with her feet in the water, her shoes in hand while my cousin, Joy, and I stood
slightly above ankle deep on either side of her. Thats
as bad as I ever recalled but several different years there
were the peat field ponds and some loss of crops.

During the rest of my years in the Boxholm area
I dont remember anything as bad as that of 1940. But
I do remember that those ponds would fill up some as
did the country ditches. That created areas in the ditches
where cattails and the snake grass would grow. Also
nourished were the tiger lilies which evidently continued
to thrive after their roots had been dumped in a ditch.
Some of the heavy rains and mini floods created both
destruction and beauty. Residents of the areas took it in
stride and their farms flourished even though some of
the acreage may not have produced as well or at all that
season.

I am sure that survival attitude still prevails. I
have seen that when watching TV reports from Dayton.
There is a spirit of caring for one another and the area.
People were working hard and long to restore their town
and the rodeo grounds so that the show could go on.
By the time this goes to press those days will have been
here and gone but right now I am hoping and praying for
the people of Dayton and Stratford in particular. I have
faith in that small town spirit, caring and togetherness
when a crisis is to be met.

the football preview, the sweet Southeast Valley athletics

graphic and the rustic Dayton Rodeo header, be sure to
thank our graphic designer Tonya Harrison. Shes been
nothing but stellar in her work.

Okay, sowhos ready for some football?

I am, for sure. The NFL is starting up. Iowa,
Iowa State and UNI are currently in the nonconference
part of their season.

On a more local level, the Southeast Valley Jaguars are doing well. Sure, theyve been the Cardiac Jags
as of late, but a win is a win is a win.

Speaking of the teal and black attack (Ive been
wanting to use that nickname), lets talk about their
schedule a little bit. Or more so, lets complain about it
somewhat.

First, heres a disclaimer. By no means is this
pointed at the friendly folks associated with the Southeast
Valley school district or the football team.

They schedule great non-district opponents who
are nearby, such as Manson-Northwest Webster, Eagle
Grove and St. Edmond.

My minuscule beef is with the Iowa High School
Athletic Association and their way of putting together
districts for football. Actually, its nothing more than a
small nitpick.

I will say this, Im confident with the statement
of the Southeast Valley faithful traveling well to away
games.

In fact, the visitors side at the Southeast ValleyEagle Grove game was full of teal and black supporters.
Pretty awesome, in my mind.

However, I look at this years schedule and see
that the boys are traveling to Shenandoah and Clarinda,
locations that clock in around the three hour travel mark.

I concur with Coach Mike Swieters words at
the beginning of the year, as the travel time easily gives
the boys a 7-0 disadvantage.

Also, its a strain on the fans and staff who have
to drive quite far for a game, only to turn back and drive
home on the same night.

Either that or spend a bit of dough on a nearby hotel room. Six hours in a vehicle is not fun by any
means.

So Tyler, what would be your solution to this
issue?

Well, other than speaking to myself in third
person, could the IHSAA create districts that situates the
schools that are in the same classification a little closer to
each other?

Id gladly trade Southwest Iowa Three (Clarinda, Red Oak and Shenandoah) for a hypothetical Clarion-Goldfield, Iowa Falls-Alden and Roland-Story while
keeping East Sac County and Carroll Kuemper.

Or lets go radical here. Lets throw out the districts.

How about regions instead? Lets say that we
have Eagle Grove, East Sac County, Iowa Falls-Alden,
Manson-Northwest Webster, Ogden, South Central Calhoun and St. Edmond are in this North Central region
together.

And while were at it, lets lump in ClarionGoldfield and Greene County too. Perhaps even Pocahontas Area.

I excluded the Class A schools like Newell-Fonda and West Bend-Mallard due to school size. But this
would be a good start and even though each region can
hold up to 15 teams, a team can pick and choose who they
want to play.

Just for kicks and giggles. For each win over a
larger or smaller opponent, a team can be awarded a certain amount of playoff points. Much like how softball
or baseball seeding is conducted.

Come playoff time, those points could determine where a team can be placed.

This could really ignite some rivalries on the
gridiron, as much as they would on the basketball court
or baseball and softball fields.

These regions could keep the kids from traveling all over the state and let the fans and staff travel in a
short amount of time.

Alas, its just a harebrained thought of mine.
Youre more than welcome to openly disagree and take
this with a grain of salt.

I just want to see some good, old fashioned
school rivalries and travel times that are far easier on
traveling fans and high school kids.

Telephones transformed communication

in Iowa, Webster County
Telephone lines started to appear in early 1900s
in rural Webster County. . .

By Editor Chris Duckett

Before the 1900's our only communication with

the outside world was a weekly newspaper. In this paper

we would read of things that had happened possibly a
week or more earlier unless Dad happened to pick up the
news from the neighbors when he went to town for groceries in Webster County.

Those newspapers included the Gowrie News
and Dayton Review.

Frequently a neighbor lady would walk a mile or
more or send one of her children to tell us of the death of
some neighbor or friend and the time of the funeral. New
babies were announced in pretty much the same way.

So in the early 1900's when telephone lines were
installed to the nearby towns and extended to the homes
of those who wished to subscribe, communication was
guaranteed and a lot faster. It was a big day when the
telephone was installed.

In August of 1883, before the two critical Bell
patents expired, an article from the Chicago Journal,
quoted in the Burlington Weekly Hawkeye, stated: Hello! Iowa has the telephone fever. Telephone lines are

being constructed all over the state, and it has got so that
no town or family in the state can get along without the
means of instantaneous communication with ever other
town and family in the state. Iowa is a great and progressive state anyhow, and it is not at all a matter of wonder that her people are adopting all the latest improvements that are going.

There were ten or 12 people on one line and
when our ring came not only our receiver was taken off
the hook for conversation, but likewise 11 or 12 others
were on hand as an audience to our conversation. It was
understood and accepted as a priviledge by which all enjoyed other conversations as well as their own.

If you wanted a party on a different line you
rang one long ring for the central operator who would
then connect you with the party requested on some other
line. When you considered that you had 11 or 12 on each
of two lines, your audience was naturally larger and care
must be taken as to what information was given out or
asked for.

There was a great deal of entertainment by useless and idle calling back and forth until the telephone
became less of a novelty.

Kirk Kelley, Burnside, organizes

semi-pro football team in Fort Dodge
Kelley, Fort Dodge Hawks promise a spectacle for fans...
By Tyler Anderson

The Fort Dodge Hawks. It has a catchy name to it,
does it not?

According to co-team owner and Burnside resident,
Kirk Kelley, it does.

It was a bunch of North Iowa Knights players who
came up and approached me, Kelley said of the origins of the
team. They said that they were wanting to get a Fort Dodge
team and I always thought that it would be nice to have a Fort
Dodge semi-pro football team. They gave me the ball and I ran
with it.

And ran with it Kelley did, and done so in a hurry.

We only started talking about this in late August,
Kelley said. The former Knights players had a bit of sour taste
in their mouths.

The Fort Dodge Hawks plan to play in the historic
Dodger Stadium when they begin their inaugural campaign in
the summer of 2016.

The 5,000 seat stadium is also home to the Fort
Dodge Senior High, St. Edmond and Iowa Central football
teams.

Its going to be in Dodger Stadium, Kelley said.
We have to get finalized with the Fort Dodge school district,
and weve had preliminary talks with the athletic director and
were hoping to have Dodger Stadium every time. Its going to
be our home base.

Kelley also expressed wanting to hold a few practices in Burnside, but would have to go through the Southeast
Webster-Grand school board to do so and for now, will hold
off on the idea.

However, Kelley is centered on not just connecting

with the Fort Dodge market, but that of Webster County as

well.

We want to get out in the community and do things
too, Kelley said. Not just in Fort Dodge, but in Webster
County.

Already, the Fort Dodge Hawks have a stylish
logo featuring a black and red hawk. Initially, the players approached Kelley with pictures of hawks and a nickname of
the Dodgers. Kelley reminded them that Dodgers was already
used, and suggested Redhawks.

Finally, there was a compromise and the nickname
Hawks was official.

We figured that they already have that motif of
Dodger Stadium, our big push is that we really want to play

to approve Construction Contract Documents for the Dayton Elementary

Addition Project in the format and scope as generally presented earlier
today at the Public hearing, to authorize the Owner Representative for
the District, Facilities cost Management Group, LLC, to release and
distribute these documents to perspective bidders and to authorize the
Superintendent to approve and arrange for the Advertisement to Bid for
the Project to be published the 8th and the 15th of September as well
as setting a date for receipt of bids as 2:00 P.M. on October 22, 2015, as
may be recommended and/or amended by the Owner Representative and
approved by the Superintendent.

Mr. Stoffers presented his report and discussed the Dayton
Elementary Building project. He also discussed the needed update to the
baseball field regarding drainage and need for tile. He asked the board
for discussion on the Boxholm building, he felt that the city of Boxholm is
not interested in the purchase of the building, however they are interested
in what we are going to do with the facility and what is the rush to get
rid of the facility. Last year the school spent approximately $18,000 on
utilities alone at the Boxholm building. The board would like to encourage
all parties to talk to the city of Boxholm and let them know what they are
wanting to do with the building maybe both parties could benefit by the
sale of the building. Mr. Stoffers has a new sign proposal for the sign
in the front of the Burnside building he will hopefully be having a sign
installed in the next couple weeks. Gary Sinclair will be addressing the
board at a special finance meeting in September. Mr. Stoffers addressed
the teacher leadership grant and the discussion that was held at the joint
board meeting in July. Janet Wills and Dan Fox discussed the teacher
leadership grant instrument. Mr. Stoffers reported to the board that SWG
has been removed from the 4th grade reading watch list. Our elementary
staff and the district need to celebrate that achievement and also in the fact
that SWG has been able to stay off the SINA list in both reading and math.

Mr. Grandfield discussed the Iowa Core Summary Report in regards
the Reading and Math. The Next Generation Science reports are out and
we use FOSS science. The enrollment for the elementary building may be
down approximately 3 students. We received $3000 from the Lowry Trust
which they will purchase 10 chromebooks for the 3rd grade classrooms.
Good attendance with the Summer Reading Program, the teachers will
report in September.

Mr. Fox discussed the Iowa Core Summary report in regards that the
numbers didnt change dramatically. What the report is useful for now are
the graphs in which the groups of students stay the same and tracks what
their yearly growth is. A huge point is when you look at the graphs in the
middle school math, the growth is very impressive. The is a great starting
point for the district, and we will be watching to see how each of the groups
of students track. Considering all the changes at the middle school last
year we are in a good place. He informed the board that the middle school
will be a PBIS building. Also explained to them about the online forms.

The board reviewed personnel policies 401.3 - Nepotism, 401.7 Reimbursement, 401.10 - Credit Cards, 401.12 - Cell Phones, 401.13R
- Staff Use of Technology, 404 - Staff Dress, and 406.2 Licensed Employee
Salary Schedule Advancement. The discussed items will be revised and
the board will be revisiting the policies again next month with the changes
made.

The board was advised that the lunch prices will be increased by $.10
to $2.40 for grades 5-8 and $2.20 for TK-4.

Snow Removal and Mowing bids will be requested for the October
board meeting.

Twelve softball girls made all academic team. Kids in the Kitchen
and Summer Reading Program was successful. Andrew Durage 1st team
coaches baseball association. Online registration was a great success
and a thank you to Machelle Showers.

Next board meeting will September 16, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in Burnside

Semi-pro football...

there, Kelley said.

Also, the Fort Dodge Hawks will aim to help out local youth while in operation.

The biggest thing is that were trying to build a system for young kids, Kelley said. We want to clean up the
streets of Fort Dodge and help out in the community, not just
in Fort Dodge but in Webster County, by building up football
players.

Kelley also spoke of obtaining a location where the
Hawks can conduct a youth camp, workout programs, and
has seen interest from players to have a Big Brother, Little
Brother initiative.

Kelley also commented that the Hawks would have
a stronger connection with the community.

Were going to be everywhere, theres no avoiding
us, Kelley said.

Previously, the Iowa Eagles semi-professional football team had called Fort Dodge home, but the Hawks promise
to have a stronger presence.

Kelley also said that having the Hawks in Fort Dodge
will draw better talent, and are hoping to bring entertainment to
the community during the months of May, June and July.

A 2005 graduate of Southeast Webster and starred
for the Eagles from 2002 to 2004, Kelley stated that even
though he may not play for the Hawks, he may borrow some
elements from Jerry Jones.

My main focus is to get people into the stands and
getting into the community and helping non-profits, Kelley
said. Were going to pick different non-profits each home
game we have to sponsor and give portions of the profits to
them.

Team wise, Kelley has recruited an old teammate
and friend of his to join the Fort Dodge Hawks in Kyle Klatt.

Klatt was a force on the line for Southeast Webster in
their spectacular 2004 campaign. Alongside Klatt and 31 other
players, the Hawks will have an open tryout on Oct. 5 through
Oct. 7.

Pat Preston will serve as the Hawks first head coach,
and has previously coached in various youth leagues.

Kelley commented that Preston has a passion and
understanding of the game and the offense that the Hawks
want to implement.

The biggest obstacle at the moment, however, will
be finding a league for the Hawks. Their main aim is the Midwest Football Alliance, which houses the likes of the North
Iowa Knights and popular Des Moines Blaze, while two other
leagues could have serve as a landing spot for the Hawks.

To counter this, Kelley and the Hawks will attend
the MFA league meeting in Nov. 7 and to balance out the
startup costs, have started up a GoFundMe page.

Right now, our GoFundMe has only gotten our
name out there, Kelley said. What were trying to do with
GoFundMe is raise money for pads and jerseys.

Theres also stadium rental and league fees, and
were really trying to make it where the players dont pay to
join the team. Were not out to make money, were here to be
a presence in the community.

Once the Hawks do get to their first kickoff, Kelley
said that the games will feature fireworks, contests and plenty
of entertainment. According to Kelley, the Hawks will be a
spectacle for football fans to enjoy.

We really want to bring in people and make fans of
them, Kelley said.

The JV football team started their season with a
38-12 win over Ogden.

The Jags scored early, as sophomore Nolan
Johnson scored on a punt return.

Then, Nolan Johnson hit Keegan Goodwin for a
touchdown pass to take an early 16-0 lead.

Going into the second quarter, Nolan Johnson
hits Keegan Goodwin for another touchdown pass. By
halftime, the Jaguars took a commanding 24-0 lead.

In the third quarter, Nolan Johnson connected
one more time with Keegan Goodwin for their third
touchdown of the game.

To finalize the scoring for Southeast Valley,
Nolan Johnson scrambled all over the field for a rushing
touchdown.

The run game struggled due to the Ogden JV defensive unit.

It made Southeast Valley throw to win and that
is exactly what they did.

Defensively, the Jaguars let up at the end and let
Ogden score and then turned it over. From there, Ogden
made their final score of the game.

It was good start to the season accroding to the
coaching staff, but they have urged their players to work
on the run game.

Pictured above are students from SEV who are listening to Security Savings Bank
employees, Mindy Swieter, Rich Dutcher, Jenny Lizer and Jon Rollefson talking about a financial education course designed to empower young people with the essential skills needed
to make sound financial decisions called EverFi.

Security Savings Bank,

EverFi, Inc, partner to educate
Southeast Valley Students

Security Savings Bank has partnered with EverFi, Inc. to bring a web-based
financial literacy program to local students at no cost to the schools or the taxpayer.
The program uses the latest in new media technology simulations, avatars, gaming
and adaptive-pathing to bring complex financial concepts to life for todays digital
generation. The high school course offers over six hours of programming with ten units
in a variety of financial topics including credit scores, insurance, credit cards, student
loans, mortgages, taxes, stocks, savings, 401ks and other critical concepts that map to
national financial literacy standards. The platform uniquely tracks the progress and performance of every student and provides students who successfully complete the course
with Certification in Financial Literacy, a valuable mark of distinction on college applications and resumes.

I hope that as these students make financial decisions in their daily lives, they
think back to this experience, said Bradley S. Lane, President/CEO of Security Savings Bank. This is just the beginning and we are proud to be a partner in this quest
to prepare our students for their financial futures.

SV strives to create well-rounded students in all aspects of life, inside and
outside the classroom, said Travis Nuss. We are grateful for these public private
partnerships that enable us to provide innovative resources and new opportunities to
students in our district.
