outheast Valley School

ttracts attention in Des Moines. . .

Prairie Valley and Southeast Webster-

Grand approved a whole grade sharing agree-ent that commenced this school year and the

ew school is Southeast Valley with the highschool in Gowrie and the junior high/middleschool in Burnside.

There are still the two school districts,Prairie Valley and Southeast Webster Grand.But the two districts will probably merge intone district in the next several years based onhe records of other Iowa school districts in

similar situations.The Des Moines Register is following

Southeast Valley this coming school year (along

ith two other school distrcits) and it began itsoverage Sunday, Sept. 7, with their lead frontage story entitled Last Bell for Small Districts.

Sixty percent of Iowa School Districtsre expreiencing declining enrollment and the

state of Iowa no longer guarantees a scal buf-er for school districts with declining enroll-ents. According to the Register story, Iowa

sent notices to 65 school districts about theiristrict being close to decit spending. Its il-egal under Iowa law for public schools to oper-te in decits, meaning that a few years in theed can force a district to close.

On the other hand the state of Iowa does

ive districts considerable exibility in order toave positive balance sheets.

In the coming school year we will seeow well the whole grade sharing agreement

works for Southeast Valley. How will it workfrom a student persepctive? How will parentsand grandparents feel about these changes?What will teachers and employees of the twoschool districts experience? With our respective school boards andadministration leading the way, some verygood developments are expected. It is also truethat some people, especially residents of theBoxholm area, are disappointed. They have losttheir school, but perhaps some of their school

buildings can be preserved for good purposes. Sometimes it is benecial to see whathas happened over time in nearby school dis-tricts. One area county which has experiencedgreat changes in school districts is PocahontasCounty. In 1989-90 Havelock Plover ofciallyreorganized with Pocahontas to form Pocahon-tas Area. Several HP school board members lostin the next school board election. The schoolbuilding was later razed in Havelock. Pocahon-tas School Superintendent Dennis Pierce wasa good listener, communicator, and leader. Hewas well respected and having an experiencedschool administrator is always an asset. A year later Rolfe was contemplatingreorganiztion with Gilmore City Bradgate butthe Rolfe Superintendent died unexpectedly. In1990 Pocahontaas Area and Rolfe began a shar-ing agreement and two years later they mergedas Pocahontas Area. Once again Pierce was in-strumental in getting the school boards to worktogether. And rather than having a school dis-trict known as Pocanhontas-Rolfe-Havelock-Plover it was simplied to Pocahontas Area. Itwas Pocahontas County and the town of Poca-hontas, the county seat, was located in the mid-

dle of the county so the name made sense.Pomeroy-Palmer began sharing in 1989

and 90 and then reeorganized in 1993. Pome-roy-Palmer started sharig with Pocahontas Area

in 2009. One of the very few school districtswhere sharing didnt work occurred betweenGilmore City Bradgate and Twin Rivers, form-ing Twin River Valley. They started sharing in1993 and continued to share for 15 years. In2011 Twin Rivers started sharing with Hum-boldt and Gilmore City-Bradgate started shar-ing with West Bend Mallard. Perhaps 15 yearsis just too long for two districts to continuesharing. Like Pocahontas Area, the Southeast

Valley school system covers a huge area andincludes many towns and townships. It hasworked in Pocahontas County and it can workin southern Webster County, along with smallerchunks of Boone and Calhoun counties.

The selfe... My husband and I recently went on vaca-ion. He served as trip photographer because hishone was smarter than mine. Im in a numberf the pictures. You can see me smiling by theool, standing on the beach, eating lunch on ourondo balcony. We took lots of shots. He tookare not to put his finger in front of the cameraens. Hardly any of our pictures are blurry.

We felt our trip was a photographic

success until we returned home and real-zed our blatant oversight. Wed neglected toake the most important photo of all: a selfief ourselves. How in the world were we goingo explain this blunder to our 572 cumulativeriends on Facebook?

Despite our attempts to get the trendynd hip shots (we took photos of meals at res-aurants as well as our feet on the beach) myusband and I arent of the selfie era. We grewp during a time when cameras were camerasnd phones were phones and neither tried toass itself off as the other. When you loaded

our camera with film, you pointed the lensutward and aimed at the world beyond your-

self. Times have changed. Our view of the

orld, through a camera lens at least, has shift-d 180 degrees. The focus of our attention the

subject matter of our photos has become nonether than ourselves. Look. At. Me!

According to my computers spellcheck,selfie isnt even a word. Autocorrect wants to

ake it selfish. LOL. Weve turned our cameras on ourselvesnd morphed into a culture that believes it is all

bout me. Despite my inexperience taking self-

es, I often think its about me. Im convincedf it. Its hard not to be if we are honest.

Ive come to suspect about me muste the human default setting. Like when ariend makes a random and obscure negativeomment on Facebook and you wonder, Is that

about me? Or when a co-worker complainsabout a certain character trait and you think,Are they talking about me? Or your spousecomes home from work in a sour mood and youare sure it must be because of you. Rest assured, most of the time it hasnothing to do with you (or me). While this should bring us comfort,it often does the opposite. If something isnt

about me, who is it about and doesnt thatdemean the meaning of me? This creates aconundrum, because in addition to believingthings are supposed to be about us, we sort ofwant them to be most of the time. Embracing the idea that it isnt aboutme (or any of us, really) requires acknowledg-ing that I am not at the center of things. Heck,sometimes Im barely in the periphery. Thespotlight isnt mine and now is definitely notthe time for my close-up. (Unless its a selfie.)This is difficult to swallow and hold on to tomaintain because of the default setting. It is

contrary to our nature. The popularity of selfies shouldnt sur-prise us, then. We might even question whattook us so long to invent the newest form ofcreative expression. Bathroom mirror selfies, group selfies,selfie with food, selfie with beverage (in frontof a pool or beach), selfie with a pet, selfie in acar while driving, funny face selfie, my new tat-too selfie, duck face selfie, selfie with a famousperson, selfie with your spouse the possibili-ties are practically endless. Next time we go on vacation, Im going

to make sure my husband and I remember totake one.I just hope our arms are long enough.Jill Pertler is an award-winning syndicated col-umnist, published playwright and author. Youcan read more and follow her column on theSlices of Life page on Facebook.

Getting Life : An Innocent Mans 25-year

Journey From Prison to Peace

BY Michael Morton

He spent twenty-ve years in prison fora crime he did not commit. He lost his wife, hisson, and his freedom. This is the story of how

Michael Morton nally got justiceand a sec-ond chance at life. On August 13, 1986, just one day af-ter his thirty-second birthday, Michael Mortonwent to work at his usual time. By the end of theday, his wife Christine had been savagely blud-geoned to death in the couples bedand theWilliamson County Sherriffs ofce in Texaswasted no time in pinning her murder on Mi-chael, despite an absolute lack of physical evi-dence. Michael was swiftly sentenced to life inprison for a crime he had not committed. He mourned his wife from a prison cell.

He lost all contact with their son. Life, as heknew it, was over. It would take twenty-ve yearsandthousands of hours of effort on the part of Mi-chaels lawyers, including the team at the NewYork-based Innocence Projectbefore DNAevidence was brought to light that would ulti-mately set Michael free. The evidence had beencollected only days after the murderbut wasnever investigated. Drawing on his recollections, court tran-scripts, and more than one thousand pages ofpersonal journals he wrote in prison, Michael

recounts the hidden police reports about an un-identied van parked near his house that werenever pursued; the treasure trove of evidence,including a bandana with the killers DNA on it,that was never introduced in court; the call froma neighboring county reporting the attempteduse of his wifes credit card (a message that wasreceived, recorded, and never returned by localpolice); and ultimately, how he battled his waythrough the darkness to become a free man onceagain. Getting Life is an extraordinary story ofunfathomable tragedy, grave injustice, and the

strength and courage it takes to nd forgiveness

You cant go home again. You cant goback home to your family, back home to yourchildhood -----back home to the old forms andsystems of things which once seemed everlast-ing but which are changing all the timebackhome to the escapes of Time and Memory.

Those are the words of Thomas Wolfewritten many years ago but they still ring true.But, if I could go back home back to Boxholmin the 40s would things be really as I rememberthem now? I would love to be able to go back tothat old early 1900s Lundvalls Store to thosedays I worked there. Would Lloyd and Estherbe as in my memory? Would the store still havethe aura of age as it had even then? Would thecheese case still be so fascinating with thatChristmas cheese and other strong ones that

Lloyd loved? I wonder whatever happened tothat cheese cutter and the roll of string. Could I still go to the old worn woodencounter, standing behind it and customers infront ordering their weeks grocery purchases?Would the canned fruits and veggies and oth-er canned and packaged items still be on theshelves behind me, the top ones being almostbeyond my reach? Would the old coffee grinderstill be in operation and the massive National (Ithink it was) cash register be at the north end?Would the cookie case be across the aisle withthe sacks available for the customer to pick out

their own and bring to us to weigh on the largescale with it cradle top next to the grinder andregister?

If the customer wanted a larger sack ofsugar or our than ve or ten pounds wouldLloyd be there or perhaps the husband of thefarmwife/customer to haul it out of the backroom? Had they brought eggs and had they beenproperly counted so we could apply to their gro-cery order or give them change if they had morethan they bought? Would a farmer or other mancome in to see if Lloyd has his size overalls inback? Not many were sold because they did

cost more than at J.C. Pennys but sometimesif the need were immediate or no time to makethe run to Boone, a pair would be sold. If I cameduring December would the lingonberry barrelstill be there so I could get a purple hand? Could we go to the other side (west)of the store and see a few bolts of yard goods,primarily the cotton ones and would one of theladies be in the market to do some sewing ofa new piece of clothing for self or daughter?Would the candy counter still be there facingthe south as part of the dividing line betweenthe grocery and dry goods counters? Would the

BIG Hersheys and Mr. Goodbars be there?How about the Wrigleys spearmint, doublemint and juicy fruit gums and Adams black jackand clove? Would it be a Saturday night and the la-dies gathering in the chairs up front after doingtheir trading? They would sit and chat whilewaiting on their hubbies to nish their farm talkwith others out on the street, in the hardwarestore or down at the lling station. Would all theusual Saturday night customers have been thereat a reasonable time or would there be one ortwo families, especially during planting or har-

vesting time, who couldnt get the days farmwork nished to get to town as early as some?There were no set closing hours in Boxholm,particularly on Saturday night. We waited untilwe were sure all the regulars had been served. If it were a summer Wednesday night thechairs up front might be empty. That was themid-week store open time and often only ll in

Can you go home again?

til Saturday groceries were needed. Besides,if it were summer almost everyone would beoutside enjoying the band concert. Even latecomers to town would rst enjoy the band, thengo to the store, thus longer hours again. Thestreet would be checked to see if a customerscar was out there and we should stay open fortheir convenience. Would the egg truck still be parkedat the back door awaiting the next batch to bebrought in? They came down from Stratfordevery week. That way they drove away withthe fresh eggs, not some that had set in an un-cooled room for days. Are there any farmersthat raise chickens up that way anymore? Un-less they would be a big operation it wouldmost likely only be a few hens and a rooster

or two for the satisfaction of having our owneggs. Even a few townspeople, some righthere in Des Moines, are tending a few birds.

Would the wide board wooden oorsstill creak and yield clacking noises when someshoes or boots tread on them? Would we hearLloyd in his little back nook typing adeptly onhis machine with his two forengers? Wouldthe whole store seem as big as it did then? Iwonder, but you cant go home again.

It was a game of missed opportunitiesfor the Southeast Valley Jaguars Friday night inSac City. The Jaguars lost the game 23-8 but

had opportunities to do much better. We will keep ghting and turn thisaround, said coach Mike Swieter. We couldbe very good yet this season but we need toeliminate the penalties and turnovers. The game started on a good note as Con-ner Conrad intercepted a pass and he returned it46 yards for a touchdown. Tristan Ewing car-ried the ball into the end zone for the two pointconversion. The Jaguars were ahead 8-0. East Sac later rallied to score one touch-down and at the half ES had a 10-8 lead. It wasanyones game. Even a touchdown pass in the secondhalf, giving ES a 17-8 lead, the Jaguars werestill very close. Southeast Valley had some goodchances but couldnt make the key play.Good passing game

Quarterback Myles Davis completednine of 22 passing attempts for 125 yards.

Receiver Shane Promes caught two passes

for 67 yards. Dakota Jaeschke had four recep-tions for 28 yards and Cade King had receptionsfor 20 yards. The Jaguars had 63 rushing yards.Missed chances The Jaguar defense was effective early

Southeast Valley starts fast,but loses to East Sac 23-8

in the game. After East Sac scored to close withone at 7-8, the Jaguars started a good drive. Buta penalty changed a rst down into a long dis-tance situation and the Jaguars couldnt convert. Down 17-8 in the second half, Quarter-back Myles Davis hit Shane Promes with a longpass. The Jaguars moved the ball close to thegoal line. But then there was a turning point in

the game. East Sac intercepted a pass and returnedit 60 yards. The Jaguar defense prevented atouchdown but Southeast Valley also lost atouchdown. East Sac intercepted three passes inthe game. Southeast Valley had a few other oppor-tunities but didnt capitalize on these chances.Goals for team We need more kids to step up and takea leadership role, said coach Swieter. We cant

hang our heads when we get down. We mustkeep ghting. We need to never accept gettingbeat. We need that type of attitude. The coach continued, We need more in-tensity on the eld. We had eight more penaltiesand this is really hurting us. If we continue thesemistakes we are going to struggle all year.Tackles, fumble recoveries Dylan Anderson and Chase Mobley eachhad a fumble recovery. Logan Boerner, Jr., and Dakota Jae-schke, a sophomore, led the team in solo tackleswith four apiece. Seniors Tom Hahnsen and JayLizer had 10 and nine tackle assists respectively

and sophomore Tristan Ewing had nine. Jaeschke had two solo sacks. Jaeschkealso had two solo tackles for a loss.

Several players were involved in assist-ed tackles for a loss.

Great goal line stand Coach Swieter was proud of his team formaking a great goal line stand before the half.The Jaguars went into halftime down by onlytwo points. We must eliminate our turnovers, as-serted coach Swieter. This involves the wholeteam. Southeast Valley will host Shenendoahfor Fridays Homecoming game.
