Area Families Receive
Christmas Gifts from WMC Staff
For the 21st year in a row, Winneshiek Medical Center staff members
have organized the ‘Giving Wreath’ project to benefit local families in
need during the holiday season.
This year’s program, coordinated with Northeast Iowa Community
Action, provided needed household items and holiday gifts to five area
families. Winneshiek Medical Center staff members selected anonymous tags showing gender, age and gift request from a large wreath at
the medical center and returned with items to fulfill the wishes. “Our
staff has been very generous,” says Kris Rasmussen, project coordinator
with Erica Featheringill. “Many donations went above and beyond the
requests and it’s heartwarming to see an entire room filled to the brim
with gifts for those in need.”
Denise Duffy, retired WMC nurse manager, coordinated the giving
wreath project for 20 years at the medical center. “Now I understand
how Denise felt about the project,” says Featheringill. “It feels like it
is part of our mission, our calling, to coordinate and provide within our
community – especially during the holidays and our staff gladly gave
until the room overflowed.”

Winneshiek Medical Center staff in the Scheduling/Reception and
Registration departments are spreading Christmas cheer this holiday
season by donating to the Ronald McDonald House in Rochester, MN.
The departments gathered household items and gifts for families
staying at the Ronald McDonald House over Christmas. “Several of our
co-workers have benefited from the services provided by the Ronald
McDonald House, and we looked at this project as a way to give back,”
says Rachael Andera, coordinator of the project. “Staff also donated
cash which allowed us to purchase additional items they may need,”
says Andera.
The Ronald McDonald House provides a “home-away-from-home”
for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or
no cost. Houses are found in more than 62 countries and regions. The
Rochester house is regularly occupied by families receiving care at Mayo
Clinic.

Spillville Christmas concert
Friday, December 5th
In November of 1932, a business deal was completed, making
Bruno Weber of New Hampton the
new owner of the Calmar Hotel.
Mr. Weber had
been connected
with the Miller
Hotel in New
Hampton for
several years. E.
A. Bergman who
had been in charge of the Calmar
Hotel for many years was going
to remain as manager, which his
many friends were glad to hear.
The Calmar Hotel advertised wonderful Sunday menus for the small
price of 50 cents!
The Olympic Theatre in Calmar
was showing Tom Mix in “Destry
Rides Again” and Frank Buck’s
“Bring ‘Em Back Alive” in November of 1932, with matinees
on Sundays for only 10 cents for
kids and 30 cents for adults. Every
foot of the Frank Buck picture was
made in the actual jungles and it
was said to be the greatest adventure ever recorded on film!
The Calmar Hotel’s Sunday
dinner menu for December 11,
1932, which was only 50 cents, was
served from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The menu was: Chicken gumbo
soup with rice, fricassee of spring
chicken, June peas, roast young
goose with stuffing, fruit compote,
baked sugar-cured ham with raisin
sauce, broiled fillet mignon, black
mushrooms, roast prime rib of
beef, potatoes – whipped, steamed,
fried and sweet, escalloped sweet
corn, Grand Opera salad, choice of
pie or pineapple parfait, coffee, tea
or milk. It made me hungry just to
read this list!
Mrs. Ole Grende advertised
reopening her store in Calmar in
December of 1932, with hand-embroidered sheets, pillow cases and
table linen, and a new line of toys,
dolls and novelties just in time for
making selections for Christmas!
The stores in Calmar running
“Merry Christmas” ads were: Weselmann & Becvar Meats; Angela’s Novelty Shop; John Hejlik;
Kuhn Service Station; Flaskerud
and Korbel; Shema Cafe; Luzum
Café; Mary Lundgren’s Store;
George Bucheit Grocery; Calmar
Hotel; Diamond Service Station;
Joseph Koch Store; Broghamer &
Schlindwein; H. J. Giesen Company; Frana Billiard Parlor; Cities
Service Station; and Calmar Lumber Company.
In early January of 1933, it was
reported that the Calmar Hotel was
being redecorated, including new
drapery and trimmings to make it
more attractive. A new neon sign
was installed in front of the building, and the lobby was redecorated
in shades of green and silver. They
were also continuing to offer their
fine Sunday dinners at reasonable
prices. For Sunday, January 1,
1933, they advertised “Eat With
Us and Give the Wife a Rest” and
the menu included stuffed roasted
young turkey, roast canvas-back
duck, baked
sugar-cured ham
with champagne
sauce, roast loin
of pork, prime
rib of beef, and
banana short
cake with whipped cream for dessert!
In mid-January of 1933, the
garage of Alex Schneberger was
robbed in Calmar. Entry appeared
to have been made through the
coal shed in the rear of the building and two doors had to be broken
open for the burglars to get into
the office and garage. A truck had
been seen parked near the back of
the building, but nothing had been
thought of it at the time. A Majestic table model radio and several
radio batteries, and a fine automatic shotgun were taken from the car
of Mr. King, which was in the garage. It appeared that the robbery
was done by persons acquainted
with the layout of the building.
One of the largest crowds ever
to attend a dance in Calmar, with
the exception of some of the dances on the evening of Farmer’s Day,
was in attendance at the dance
held at the Frana Hall in mid-January of 1933. The orchestra that
drew them in was the Blackhills
Cowboys of Deadwood, South
Dakota. The orchestra was making
their headquarters in Calmar for
some time, as their booking manager is J. C. Freirich, son of Clem
Freirich of Calmar. From all indications, everyone enjoyed their
music greatly and it was expected
that their schedules would be filled
with bookings from the area.
A half acre of timber on the J.
Carolan Farm, seven miles from
Decorah on the Burr Oak Road,
was purchased for $15 by the Winneshiek County Soldier’s Relief
Commission in early 1933. Permission would be given to ex-servicemen to cut timber on this tract
of land for their use and the timber will be transported to town
for them. The commission would
determine if they have permission
and are worthy before they were
allowed to cut wood there. A request had been made for a ton of
coal a month from the Commission, but this was out of the question, so the wood was secured instead. Several ex-servicemen had
already cut a supply of wood from
this land.
The Calmar High School auditorium would be the setting for
the public grade school operetta
on February 24, 1933. The operetta was called “The Magic Flute”
and was based on Browning’s
poem, The Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Features included: Rhythm Band
– Grades 1 & 2; Dance of the
Children – Grades 2 and 4; Dance
of the Rats – Grades 3 & 4; Children’s Chorus – Grades 3, 4, 5 &
6; Hemelin Citizens – Grades 7
& 8. Solos included the following
characters: The Magic Piper-Robert Lovin; The Town Crier-Harleth
Reisner; Frieda-Mae Jean Severson; Mayor-Maynard Fjelstuhl;
Councilmen-Eugene Eppens, Curtis Severson and Warren Hurlburt.
The unique feature of this production was that all children in the
grade school participated in some
way. Admission was only 25 cents
for adults and 10 cents for children
of school age. Preschool age children got in for free.
George Harms from Calmar
gave the Decorah Athletic Club
and Winneshiek County a strong
challenge in early March of 1933.
Manager Joe Flynn asked for any
man in the audience of 900 men
to wrestle George, and he got no
response. Joe then asked for any
two men and again got no response. They all must have been
scared of a “Calmar product”.
George Harms had long been considered to be the strongest man
in the County. Manager Flynn
got word later from a man in the
County who thought he could take
George. Frank Germann was offering a diamond belt to the winner.
The match was to be scheduled for
April of 1933 and the battle was on
for the Winneshiek County Champion. The match was to be held in
Decorah, along with the regular 40
rounds of boxing and wrestling at
the Decorah Athletic Club.
A mandatory “bank holiday”
had been declared by President
Roosevelt after his inauguration in
March of 1933. This was an effort
to stabilize and rebuild confidence
in the banking system during the
financial depression the United States was undergoing. This
meant that banks were closed and
people could not withdraw money
or transact business until they reopened. This was a four-day time
period and allowed the FDIC to
determine that banks had sufficient
assets before they could reopen.
The big news was that “real
beer”, with the pre-prohibition
kick of 4 percent by volume, would
go on sale to 22 States in the Union
on April 7, 1933, which was a Friday. The sale of this legalized beer
in Iowa was not yet authorized, but
a strenuous effort to do so was being made by the Governor. It was
thought that if Iowa did not legalize the sale of this beer, revenues
would be lost because of citizens
crossing the border to neighboring
states, where the sale of this beer is
already legalized.
Our next article will tell more
about the excitement of “real beer”
in Iowa, as well as unusual robberies and more area stories of 1933.
“All the students were dressed in their best for their Christmas program and they sang their hearts out.”

Neighbor to Neighbor
By Sharon Busch
Getting ready for Holiday
guests? Here are just a few tips
to help. I have not tried the diaper
wipes, but I do use the Magic erasers. To remove stubborn dirt/scuff
marks on walls, furniture, tables,
shoes, etc: Diaper wipes! Funny,
but true! They work!
Silk flowers dull or dusty:
Spray with hairspray. They will
stay shiny and when they get dusty
again, simply blow off with hair
dryer.
Get rid of ring around the tub:
Magic erasers! They are cheap
and even generic brands work
well! Cuts right through the dirt
and saves hours of back pain from
scrubbing with the standard brush
and soap. The erasers are also
great on stubborn dirt and scuff
marks.
You may alter the following ingredients to your own taste and it
can also be heated in a crock pot.
To make your home smell wonderful you will need:
1 whole orange
½ cup cranberries
1 Tbsp. whole cloves
3 sticks of cinnamon
A few clippings from your tree
A few drops of vanilla extract
A sprinkle of grated nutmeg or
cinnamon
Slice the orange. Toss the citrus
and your choice of whole sweet
spices into a pot of simmering water. Reduce heat to lowest setting,
and refill water as needed (do not
let the water evaporate completely).
Three words that go with the
holidays are food, family and fun.
During the holiday season, which
seems to go from Thanksgiving
to New Years Day, many of us
enjoy the company of family and
friends. Whether we are hosting
the event or attending we like to
make something special to share.
In the spirit of the season, open
your heart and home to friends
and family and don’t forget the
new friends that might not be able
to get home to their own family. I
always told my college age kids if
they had a friend that was unable
to go home that they were welcome to bring them home.
The menu is simple and delicious. Feel free to add your own
ideas. If you want a more elaborate
type of menu, change the appetizers and choice of entrée.
Dill Pickle Dip
Zelda Larson (my sister)
8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. sour cream
1 pkg. dried beef (chopped)
½ jar dill relish
Mix together and chill. Serve
with crackers. Note: This makes
a big batch. Suggestion: Hormel
brand dried beef was used or get
good quality dried beef from the
local deli in the grocery store.
Cheese Ball
From Allrecipes
2 (8 ounce) packages cream
cheese, softened
3 ½ cups shredded sharp
Cheddar cheese
1 (1 ounce) package Ranchstyle dressing mix
2 cups chopped pecans
4 pecan halves
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, cheddar cheese and dressing mix.
Form into one large ball or two
smaller balls. Roll in chopped pecans to coat surface. Decorate the
top with pecan halves. Refrigerate
for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
Frosted Strawberry Salad
1 pkg. strawberry jello
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 pkg. frozen strawberries
1 pkg. lemon jello
1 cup boiling water
½ cup pineapple juice
1 small pkg. cream cheese

Raspberry Jello
2 pkgs. raspberry jello
Fresh or frozen raspberries
Whipped cream
Follow directions to make
jello from the jello package. Add
raspberries. If using frozen use
less liquid. When set top with

Dinner Rolls
You can make your own dinner rolls and freeze them ahead of
time. Thaw and if you want heat
them for a short time in a 400 degree oven just to warm them. Place
in a basket with a towel over the
rolls to keep them warm while
passing. If you’re not into making
your own there are many other
choices available for you that are
quick and easy.
Here are two recipes for a
glazed ham. I like to use pineapple
with my ham.
Glazed Ham
7 lb. ham
2 c. pineapple juice
1 c. honey
Bake at 300 degrees for two
hours. Baste with pineapple juice
and honey mixture during cooking.
Second recipe:
5 lb. ham, fully cooked
½ c. brown sugar
4 T reserved pineapple juice
1 can pineapple slices (reserve
juice)
Place ham in a pan lined with
aluminum foil. Score ham by
cutting crisscross patterns across
the whole ham. Drain pineapple,
reserving juice. Combine 4 teaspoons of juice with brown sugar
to make paste. Spread over top &
sides of ham. Using toothpicks,
attach whole slices of pineapple to
top and sides of the ham. Bake at
300 degrees for 2 ½ hours.
Sautéed Green Beans
From www.allrecipes.com
5 slices bacon
1 (16 oz.) package frozen cut
green beans
½ cup slivered almonds
¼ cup butter
Place bacon in a large skillet
over medium-high heat. Cook until browned on one side, then turn
over to cook on the other side. Add
the almonds to the skillet at this
time, and cook, stirring until light
golden brown. Remove the bacon
from the skillet, leaving the bacon
drippings. Crumble or chop bacon,
and return to the skillet. Melt the
butter in with the drippings. Add
the green beans, cook and stir until tender, about 8 minutes.
Marinated Cherry Tomatoes
Put cherry tomatoes (or you
can use sliced tomatoes) in a serving bowl. Add Italian Dressing
(either regular or fat free). Stir
well, cover and refrigerate. This is
also good with Kraft roasted red
pepper parmesan dressing (if you
can find it). Sprinkle marinated tomatoes with parmesan cheese before serving. Another suggestion
would be to add mozzarella cheese
balls and marinate all-together.
Basic Mashed Potatoes
2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled
and quartered
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk (add gradually, may
need less)
Salt and pepper to taste
Bring a pot of salted water to
a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15
minutes; drain. In a small saucepan heat butter and milk over low
heat until butter is melted. Using
a potato masher or electric beater,
slowly blend milk mixture into
potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to
taste. About 4 servings.
Black Forest
Brownies a la mode
From Wilderness Pie filling
Mix together 1 (21.5 oz.) package brownie mix, 1 cup Wilderness cherry pie filling, ¼ cup oil
and 2 eggs. Grease bottom only of
13 x 9 inch pan and pour in mix.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35
minutes. Remove from oven,
sprinkle with 1 ½ cups semi-sweet
chocolate chips, and spread when
melted. Let cool, cut into squares.
Top with vanilla ice cream and
spoonful of remaining Wilderness
cherry pie filling.
Cranberry Drink
By Jennifer Janvrin

minutes.
2 c. water
1 ½ c. sugar
4 cinnamon sticks

Trojans hold on to
the win over Ed-Co
The Trojans had a three-game schedule
last week playing two on the road, and one
intense game at home.
@ NH 12.15
On Monday, Turkey Valley traveled to
New Hampton for a non-conference match
against the 2A Chickasaws.
“We ran into a very talented team and
they controlled the game from the get go,”
explained Coach Sullivan. “We never could
get anything going tonight.”
New Hampton built a great cushion right
away allowing the Trojans no room for error
ending the first quarter 6-27. TV added more
points in the second but so did the Chickasaws pushing the gap to 16-60 at the break.
TV struggled in the second half adding 12
points in the third while giving up 22 points
to NH increasing the split to 54 points at
28-82. The Trojans scored six points in the
fourth frame and gave up 11 to NH to a final
tally of 34-93.
“After a game like this, we told the kids to
forget about the game and move forward to
the next one,” Sullivan ended.
Team stats were: 11-34 FG, 4-14 3pt,
8-10 FT, 8 TR, 2 A.
Player stats were: R. Izer- 5pts, 2-7 FG,
1-4 3pt, 1 TR; L. Izer- 1 TR; Busta- 2 pts,

FG, 1-1 FT, 1 A.
Vs. Ed-Co 12.16
Turkey Valley hosted the Edgewood-Colesburg Vikings on Tuesday for a
UIC contest. The first quarter was a lot of
Confetti
running and shooting but not a lot of scoring
as TV scored nine points and gave up five
to EC. Both teams picked up the pace in the
second quarter, knocking shots in to change
the score to 27-19 TV at the break.
“In the first quarter we played solid defense but had a hard time getting the ball into
the paint,” Sullivan noted. “In the second
quarter our offense came alive and we were
getting nice looks.”
EC was strong out of the locker room
adding 14 points to their side of the board
while TV posted just nine points, making the
gap 36-33.
“In the third quarter we had a stretch
where it was our best basketball of the season
and we got out to a 13-point lead,” Sullivan
continued. “Ed-Co cut into that lead quickly
because we struggled with their press and
were throwing the ball all over the gym.”
EC was on a mission to make the comeback and take the game outscoring TV 14-15
but it wasn’t enough, TV won 50-48 in the
last few seconds.
“In the fourth quarter, Ed-Co took the
lead and with 28 seconds left, we trailed by
two with the ball. In the timeout we wanted to get the ball in the middle of the zone
and look backside and we did exactly that,”
explained Sullivan. “The wide open player
was Justin Hackman and he stepped into his
shot and knocked down the go-ahead three
with 13 seconds left. We got a stop on defense and held on for a 50-48 win. We were
happy with the way the kids competed for
four quarters.”
“Although we won their is a lot of things
we need to work on and need to continue to
get better moving forward,” finished Sullivan.

Lady Trojans take the
“W” over the Vikings
With winter break pushing in,
the Turkey Valley Lady Trojans
are working hard to add notches to
their “W” column before the end of
the year.
Vs. Ed-Co 12.16
The Ladies hosted the Edgewood-Colesburg Vikings last Tuesday in their first of two games last
week.
The first quarter was a tough offensive battle with a lot of buckets
and a lot of possession changes.
TV knocked it 19 points in the first
eight minutes but EC put up 14 to
keep the game close. The Vikings
upped their tempo to hold TV to
just seven points in the second set
while scoring 11 points to bring the
game to 26-25 at the half.
The third quarter was a tight
defensive game with both teams
scoring in the single digits. TV
maintained their lead, 35-32, at the
buzzer. EC fell apart in the fourth
frame and the Ladies were on their
game tacking on 15 points while
holding EC at two points for a final
tally of 50-34.
“The girls buckled down in the
2nd half and found a way to win.
We have a few things to clean up,
but we know the girls will work
hard to get better,” noted Coach
Stepan and Coach Nymeyer.
Team stats were: 19-61 FG, 2-13

Knotty Pine Guest House Open for Business
Photos and Story by Joyce Meyer
On the Ossian DeSales ‘Magic of Christmas’ Tour
of Homes this year was the Knotty Pine Guest House
of Stacy and Jeremy Merrill by Fort Atkinson.
Stacy explains how the new vacation home rental
came to be, “Jeremy’s Dad (Tim) and Mother (Debbie) took three years (1978-1980) to build the log
home. This is the house that Jeremy and his brother
Oliver grew up in. It wasn’t until recently when Jeremy’s mother moved to Lawler that we found ourselves wondering what to do with the house. A lot
of memories were made in this house and we want
to continue to establish making more memories with
our two boys Landon (7) and Asher (3). Instead of
the house sitting empty when we are not there, we
decided to rent the house out as a guest house, and
share its beauty and solitude with many others.”
Last summer after a family member suggested
the idea; they rented a family vacation home and
liked the idea. They spent long hours working on the
house, starting with taking out things from the family
home and cleaning. Then came the remodeling, they
added another bathroom and added a sofa bed in the
Master Suite and decorated the soon to be vacation
rental. By fall they were ready and open for business.
The beautiful handcrafted log cabin at 1323 255th
Avenue by Fort Atkinson is fully equipped, including stove, refrigerator, and television. The three bedrooms have comfortable beds and a fold out couch to
sleep eight. They added an extra bathroom upstairs
in the Master Suite also. The cabin has a beautiful
fireplace and a patio. Stacy said that what they enjoy
is the Turkey River close by.
If you had a chance to tour the vacation rental,
you may have noticed the artistic flair Stacy has for
decorating for the holidays. This will be where family Christmas will be celebrated. One tree is decorated with pheasant feathers and oranges Stacy dried,
perfect for a log cabin woodsy look. In case you
missed the tour, she shares her ideas from recipes
to decorating ideas she finds at http://www.pinterest.
com/stacy_merrill/christmas-ideas/.
One review on their Facebook website says it
best, “Knotty Pine Guest House was absolutely
amazing! The warm cozy atmosphere of the cabin
is what topped it off! Has a lot of outside area for
kids to run around and fun out and in. The beds are
irresistibly comfy! Fireplace was excellent! Outside
patio to have a couple drinks out on! Supplied everything besides your own food of course! And I loved
the decor! Overall if you want to get away from your
busy lifestyle, this is the place to go with how secluded it is away from everything! You get so much
after staying there! Would look beautiful in the winter time! Can’t wait to come back very soon! Thank
you.”

The State Housing Trust Fund
was created by the Iowa Legislature in 2003. Since its inception,
the program has provided $49.8
million in affordable housing assistance that has benefited more
than 15,200 Iowa families. This
funding has leveraged another
$152.4 million in other funds or
$3.06 for every dollar of State
Housing Trust Fund investment.
The State Housing Trust Fund
helps ensure decent, safe and
affordable housing for Iowans
through two programs. The Local Housing Trust Fund Program
receives at least 60 percent of
the SHTF allocation to provide
grants for organizations certified
by the Iowa Finance Authority as
a Local Housing Trust Fund. The
remaining funding goes to the
Project-Based Housing Program,
which aids in the development
of affordable single-family and
multifamily housing. The Iowa Finance Authority administers both
programs and provides technical
assistance to housing-related organizations. The Iowa Legislature
created the Iowa Finance Authority in 1975 to undertake programs
to assist in the attainment of housing for low and moderate-income
Iowans.
