The heat held off for the animals and fair fun for the kids during the Winneshiek County Fair
last week. Great memories were
made as the fair brought an endless variety of entertainment, food
and activities to the area. “The
Midwest’s best carnival,” Evans
United, was on the midway Tuesday through Saturday. Wednesday evening the crowds were there
storming the midway during wrist
band day enjoying the rides, lights
and music for children of all ages.
Bill Riley’s Iowa State Fair Talent
search kicked off the fair Tuesday,
followed by the fair queen coronation and opening ceremonies. The
Upper Iowa Speedway stock car
races followed with hot laps at 6
p.m. and racing at 6:30 p.m. A huge
crowd came to see Decorah native Cory Farley of Nashville, who
was the opener Wednesday night,
at 7:30 p.m. Cory, the son of Brenda Kreitzer and Joe Farley, both of
Decorah, grew up listening to coun-
try music in his grandfather’s barn.
Country artist James Otto followed
Farley on the stage at 9 p.m. The Jim
Busta Band performed in front of the
grandstand 4-5:30 p.m. Thursday,
followed by Tri –State Truck and
Tractor Pullers LLC at 6 p.m. The
Last Ride opened at 7:30 p.m. Friday, for country star, Sawyer Brown.
CC Bull Riding and Barrel Racing
were Saturday evening, with something new to thrill the crowd, a wild
horse chase. There were a variety
of entertainers performing at music
tents throughout the fair and numerous cooking contests. Many more
attractions included: the hobby/shop
creations contest, the Ted Schrandt
Memorial, Open 3D Barrel Racing,
Ag Olympics and box social, antique
farm display, skidloader rodeo and
open dairy and beef show. 4-H and

Calmar Courier
Calmar Lions Observe 60th Anniversary
Every flourishing community has
organizations interested in seeing that
community succeed. These groups give
time, money, attention, assistance, and
leadership when needed. A club found
in many communities is the Lions Club.
The Calmar Lions Club celebrated their
60th Anniversary on June 16, 2015,
with a golf outing followed by a ham
supper. Twenty-three golfers hit the
course, while sixty-nine people enjoyed
the meal. The Lions Clubs from West
Union, Postville, Waukon, Cresco, Elgin, Decorah, New Hampton and Belle
Plaine were represented. In addition,
members of the Calmar Commercial
Club were on hand since they often provide help with the annual chicken dinner
the Calmar club serves.
The name of the game was twoperson best ball. Fun was stressed over
competition. Numerous prizes were
awarded for longest putt on certain
holes, closest to the pins on others. The
best score was turned in by the team of
Bob Lentz and Dennis Humpal. The
Lions traveling trophy was awarded to
Tom Sauser and Don Kubesh from New
Hampton. A special trophy was given to
Tom Phillips and John Farley of Waukon
for being “champion team in reverse”
for the day. Tom is blind and John is
his “ringer.” John rings a bell for Tom
to help him line up his golf shots. One
of Lions Clubs International’s major
concerns is helping citizens with sight
problems.
Lions District Governor, Jack Schlesselman from Belle Plaine, showed a
short video about the beginning of the
Lions Clubs. A live auction included a
print, a coat, a toy John Deere tractor,
a bag toss with the Lion emblem, and
a Lion plaque. Silent auction items included two small barn quilt paintings,
two wine and glass holders, and a lawn
ornament. To add to the fun were more
than sixty items to raffle. The Calmar
Lions were able to raise $1000 to donate to West Union’s recent purchase of
a digital camera to help with the KidSight projects that many local Lions use
in their communities. Calmar has been
able to use this camera in the latest of
their projects.
Special thank you wishes go to everyone who attended the celebration, especially DG Schlesselman. Lions from
numerous surrounding clubs as well as
Commercial Club members helped to
make the night a success. The Calmar Lions would also like to thank the
wives who helped with the meal: Norma
Bullerman, Connie McCasland, Donna
Thuente, Dolores Meyer, and Doris
Frana.

feeder was installed.
It’s a team effort to run a successful farm
operation, a job that doesn’t end at 5 o’clock.
With the help of five employees, the family
milks three times a day. Like any other business, it supports the local economy in many
ways. Many businesses also came out to
thank the Mashek’s for their business during
their open house.
This farm family opens up their farm for
tours on a regular basis which provides educational opportunities for visitors from all
over the world. “With our dairy business,
having Registered Brown Swiss cattle, we
have many tours throughout the year on the
farm, many foreign visitors as well,” explains Barb as she takes in the many people
who came out to tour the dairy.
Working on the dairy farm are (front) Josh, Dennis, Barb and Tanner Mashek and (back) hired hands are Pat Wedo, Jon Aldrich, Devon
Devore, Nick Minear and Jake Hofstra.
Brown Swiss cows take notice to all the visitors.

Calmar Courier
Calmar Next Site For
Habitat For Humanity
By Mary Welch
On November 12, 1913 it was reported in the Calmar Courier that the
Calmar Depot had burned down. When the fire hose was attached to the
waterworks, it was found that there was not sufficient pressure to throw
any water due to there not being a water tank...work on the new tank had
begun two days before.
Firemen and citizens began a hard fight with buckets to save the dwellings near the Depot on adjoining lots. Constant vigilance was needed
to save these other structures and there was many a blistered face and
scorched hats and coats. There were several explosions, making it very
dangerous to be near the fire.
The next morning, a force of men were at work, clearing away the
wreckage, putting up a temporary ticket office and waiting and baggage
rooms. By night, they had the temporary structure enclosed and it was
ready to be used. It wasn’t until 1915 that the Milwaukee Road replaced
this Depot with the current structure.
Pat Whelan (now from Fayette) stopped in to reminisce at the Depot
recently. He had been the night operator in Calmar from 1971 to 1975,
when Don Bush was station agent. Pat remembered that Kulish’s worked
on a section of the track and also “Billy” Shimek had a section. He said
there was a regular freight train and also a “meat train” that came through
to Chicago. Of course, there were no passenger trains coming through
Calmar then. Pat and his family lived in Calmar, in the house now owned
by Paul & Barb Posivio, during the years he worked here.
Back in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s the Decorah Newspapers
sponsored a contest for anyone strong enough to carry a 60-lb bag of
wheat from the Depot in Calmar all the way to Decorah, following the
railroad path, through Conover to Decorah. The prize was 50 silver dollars, which was quite a bit back then.
Before the roads and railroads existed, people often had to go long
distances by foot, carrying their grain to a mill so that it could be ground
into flour. It was believed that the purpose of this contest was to show
how much the railroad had helped in hauling cargo over distances, and
also to show how hard people worked in the bygone days.
Former Calmarite, Bill Luzum, brought up the story to me recently,
saying that Ken Schneberger, now a resident of a New Hampton Nursing
Home, won the prize one year. Mr. Schneberger and a friend of his each
received $50 because they finished together.
To my surprise, my uncle, Elmer Rolfes, who lives in Marion, Iowa
now, also remembered this contest. At the time, he lived near Lawler,
but apparently this was a competition that gained attention of many. He
said that he thought they also sponsored a dinner for those who finished
the contest. Does anyone remember this contest?
We want to hear your stories or family stories about the Calmar Depot
or the railroad in Calmar. Call Mary Welch at 563 562-4237 or write to
her at P O Box 588, Calmar, Iowa 52132 or stop by the Depot any afternoon but Monday to tell her your story.

Winneshiek County Habitat for
Humanity announces that Calmar
will be the site of its next house. “We
haven’t built in Calmar since 2002 so
we were pleased when the opportunity came to purchase a lot there. It’s
always our goal to build in various
locations around the county,” stated
Gus Johnson, Executive Director.
Construction will begin in fall of
2015.
The mission for Habitat is to work
in partnership with people in need to
build or renovate decent, affordable
housing for them. Applications for
partner families interested in living
in Calmar will be accepted beginning
in July. Partner families must have
employment and demonstrate that
currently they have an inadequate
housing situation. The houses are
sold to low-income working families at no profit and with no interest
charged. Volunteers provide much of
the labor and partner families themselves invest hundreds of hours of labor or “sweat equity” into building
their homes and the homes of others.

Humanity (WCHFH) is a locally run
affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, a nonprofit, ecumenical
Christian housing organization. For

Winneshiek County Fairgrounds
Presents A New Look To 2015 Fair Visitors
A hard surface area has been completed for handicap parking on the
north side of the property. This project was made possible with funding
from the Winneshiek County Community Foundation.
In addition, Winneshiek County
Historical Society and Winneshiek
County Historic Preservation Commission are collaborating with the
Winneshiek County Fairgrounds
to move four stone pillars from the
farm/zoo in Orleans Township once
owned by previous Fair Secretary
Leon Brown. The pillars will become part of a visual tribute to Leon
who was active in community affairs
in addition to devoting many years to
the growth of the Winneshiek County
Fair. Moving the pillars was made
possible by the donation of time,
machinery and muscle from E & B
Christopher Construction of Bluffton, John Schnitzler, Ed and Mike
Christopher, Shane Courtney, Calvin
Rue, Ron and Eugene Bronner and
property owner, Tom McGee. Moving the pillars to the Fairgrounds is
just the first phase of this extensive
project, watch for updates!
Tax deductible donations are being accepted for this project. To donate contact Edna Schrandt.

Winneshiek Medical Center Team To Compete
In Big Blue Dragon Boat Festival In La Crosse
It’s back and more spectacular than ever! Mayo Clinic Health
System – Franciscan Healthcare’s
Big Blue Dragon Boat Festival returns this Friday and Saturday at La
Crosse’s Copeland Park with more
teams, more days and more familyfriendly entertainment.
Amy Breitsprecher, a health unit
coordinator in the WMC Clinic
and one of the captains of WMC’s
23-member team, got involved in
the race early on. “I heard about the
dragon boat race last year, and knew
it was something I wanted to be part
of. When the invitation to form a
team was sent to WMC staff, I immediately signed up and began recruiting others.” The WMC team, Mayo
WOW (Wonders of Winneshiek), is
comprised of nurses, health unit coordinators, maintenance workers, doctors, administrators, and some family members. “We have a great mix
of people representing Winneshiek
Medical Center and Winneshiek
County,” says Breitsprecher.
Funds from the Big Blue Dragon
Boat Festival promote breast cancer survivorship through Center
for Breast Care programs at Mayo
Clinic Health System – Franciscan
Healthcare, focusing on prevention,
detection and treatment. Specifically,
funds are used to provide free mammogram screenings for women in financial need and comprehensive care
and support for all patients diagnosed
with breast cancer.
“Mayo Clinic Health System oncologists regularly travel to Decorah
to provide cancer care for our patients,” said Lisa Radtke, chief administrative officer of Winneshiek
Medical Center and member of the
WMC team. “The Dragon Boat Festival is a unique, fun and exciting way
to raise awareness and funds for our
MCHS Franciscan Healthcare Center for Breast Care programs, while
building relationships with co-workers and our extended community.”
Radtke adds, “Having participated
last year, it was especially meaningful for me to share this opportunity
with our Winneshiek Medical Center community. I want our WMC
community to experience the joy
and sense of pride in participating in
this event, collectively working together to achieve our ultimate goal of
helping those whose lives have been
touched by the breast cancer journey.”
In addition to the Big Blue Dragon
Boat Festival, Winneshiek Medical Center staff support local cancer
awareness and prevention efforts by
participating in the American Cancer
Society Relay For Life of Winneshiek
County and the Winneshiek County
Celebration of Life annual fund-raising events.

If you have watched your grocery
ads, the price of watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, blueberries and
peaches are starting to come down in
price and are seen more often in your
ads.
Picking out a good watermelon
can be a challenge. The melon
should have nice smooth skin and
have a good color. The spot where
the melon was laying on the ground
should not be pale, but be more of a
yellowish color. Good color usually
means it’s ripe.

Free Post-Race Stretching
Provided By WMC
WMC physical therapists and athletic trainers donate time and skill to
care for Elveløpet participants
Stretching after a running/walking race is important for anyone who
wants to enjoy the activity for a long
time and avoid any potential injury.
That’s why Winneshiek Medical
Center is providing a free post-race
stretching station at the Nordic Fest
Elveløpet Race. Staffed by professional physical therapists and athletic
trainers, the post race stretching station will be set up at the finish line of
the race and is open to any runner or
walker at no charge.
“As race participants experience
repetitive motion during running or
walking, their muscles can become
tight and sore,” says Dennis Keefe,
MSPT, physical therapist at Winneshiek Medical Center. “Post-race
stretching helps to lengthen the muscles and actually helps muscles feel
better after a run. It can also help participants avoid injury, reduce soreness and increase flexibility.”
The free post-race stretching station will be located under the blue
canopy at the Nordic Fest Eveløpet
race finish line on Saturday, July 25.
Anyone interested in signing up for
the race should visit nordicfest.com.
Calmar Councilʼs July Meeting
By Mary Welch
Calmar’s City Council held their
regular monthly meeting on Monday,
July 6, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. at the Fire
Station in Calmar. Mayor Keith Frana called the meeting to order and it
began with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Council members present: Larry
Huinker, T. J. Schissel, Linus Sabelka, Dennis Kleve. Absent: Dave
Zweibahmer.
After review, Kleve moved and
Schissel seconded approval of the
Consent Agenda (Additions to Agenda-Agenda, Minutes of June 1, 2015
& June 16, 2015 meetings, Clerk/
Treasurer reports, Claims for June
of 2015 and ABC License for Main
Street Redemption). Motion carried.
Jenny Johnson spoke on behalf of
CAST (Calmar Area Swim Team),
discussing their budget needs, including busing costs, ribbons, coaches salaries and dues. In the past, the
City Council provided $1500 towards their costs. After discussion,
it was decided that $1175 would be
provided at this time.
Resolution 517 approves and
adopts a revenue purpose statement
for the use of revenues from electric
and natural gas franchise fees. The
City of Calmar is going to hold a
public hearing about franchise fees
being established with Alliant Energy and Black Hills Energy. They are
required to have a resolution in place
that explains the purpose of these
fees, and that was the list of items
on this resolution. It is also required
that the resolution be published in the
newspaper, so that will also be done.
Sabelka moved and Kleve seconded
approval of Resolution 517. Motion
carried.
August 3, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. (regu-
lar Council Meeting time) there will
be a Public Hearing on the adoption
of franchise fees of 3% (Ordinance
#351) being added to the Alliant Energy bills. Ordinance #377 will establish a 3% franchise fee that will
be added to the Black Hills Energy
bills. Motion made by Schissel and
seconded by Sabelka to this effect.
Motion carried. These would be effective on bills after October 1, 2015.
Calmar Fire Chief, Chad Schissel,
reported that there were no calls in
June, but the local Department had
still provided 61 hours of volunteer
community service last month. They
had their regular business meeting on
June 8, 2015, and their annual picnic
at the Lion’s Park was on Saturday,
June 27th. Their training night was
6/22/15 at NICC. A tour was given
to those attending of 3 buildings on
campus, to help preplan for emergencies that may arise. Fort Atkinson’s
Fire Department also attended this
training. They were able to see how
the buildings are laid out, and how
and where important things are located.
Calmar Pool Manager, Annie
Rude, reported that they have had a
busy summer and that August 14th
is the last day of swimming lessons.
She said that even though the Family Triathlon was cancelled due to the
weather, it was valuable because they
had done all the preparations, which
will make doing it again seem easier. There was discussion as to how
long the pool should remain open,
because staffing becomes difficult
after school starts up. No decision
was made about the closing date at
this time.
The Calmar Library will have a
Summer Reading Program called
“Every Hero is a Story” from July
27th to 31st. There will be one session a day and all age groups will
be included. Animals will be coming from Blanke Park Zoo one day
and there will be a puppet and magic
show one day, in addition to many
other interesting programs. Watch
for future articles and publicity about
this! The library has been busy this
summer, with all age groups making
use of the facilities they provide.
Police Chief Joe Ward provided
his report on the activites of the
Calmar/Ossian Police Department
for June, which was a busy month.
Chief Ward has spent much of his
time dealing with juveniles’ shoplifting and vandalism, in both communities. There have also been some accidents and there are always ongoing
investigations.
The interview/physical & written
testing process for an additional officer was completed. Schissel moved
and Kleve seconded making the conditional job offer to Andrew Hageman. Motion carried. He will still
have to have the medical and MMPI
testing done and will also have to
take the physical agility test for the
academy in Ames. A spot has been
reserved in the academy to begin
August 31st for him.
Concerning vehicles, Chief Ward
discussed an offer from Klimesh
Motors to purchase the 2009 Ford
Explorer. He reported that they are
still waiting for some parts for the
new Explorer, but it has been lettered
and will be ready to go as soon as the
electronics are added to the inside.
The Calmar Street Department
was busy in June, with projects including the usual road maintenance,
work at the parks, pool, Little League
field, ball diamond, and additions on
Calmar signs. Junior Boyer, Street
Superintendant, provided a list of all
the projects worked on. He also provided a photo and diagram/description near Gundersen Clinic in Calmar
where it is proposed that a bike rack
be installed. Gundersen Clinic would
provide the bike rack, and it would
be for anyone’s use. Many compliments have been received from the
public on the work done recently
adding to the “Calmar” signs.
Matt Bullerman, Water/Wastewater Superintendant, reported that all
necessary testing was done in June
and met all requirements. “ Preliminary Opinion of Probable Cost” for
sanitary sewer improvements/addition on Lewis & Jefferson Streets
up to Henry Street, including the
property where a Habitat House will
be built was $118,800. Quotes from
contractors will be pursued on this
matter.
Shawver Well had provided their
bill for the period of 6/15/15 up to
6/29/15, which was $169,008.75.
This is for the work they are doing
on drilling the new well. Engineer
George Tekippe of Fehr Graham
thought they may be working another
week at most before completion. Sabelka moved and Schissel seconded
authorizing the partial payment for
the amount billed to Shawver. Motion carried.
A request had been received from
Winneshiek County to see if they
could dispose of leachate at our
wastewater treatment facility. After
discussion, it was decided not to accept this currently.
There being no further business,
the meeting was adjourned at 7:07
p.m.

At the Northeast Iowa Community
College (NICC) Board of Trustees
meeting on June 15, members received updates on the many ways the
college continues to invest in the success of local industry, stakeholders,
students and communities in northeast Iowa.
Ongoing investments in local companies and new job growth include
the college’s successful coordination
of the 260E Iowa New Jobs Training
Program. At the meeting, the trustees
approved the sale of the 260E training
certificates for companies with a total
estimated bond issuance of $4.5 million. The 260E agreements allow for
the creation of a combined 450 new
jobs by the businesses.
The companies include: Caterpillar Work Tools, Inc.; Cottingham &
Butler Insurance Services, Inc.; Self
Insured Services Corporation, and
Safety Management Services Company; Hirschbach Motor Lines, Inc.;
Hodge Company and T.M. Incorporated; JEDA Polymers, Inc.; Kunkel
& Associates, Inc.; Medline Industries, Inc.; Milkhouse Creamery, Inc.;
Mi-T-M Corporation; Rockfarm Logistics, LLC and RT&T Logistics,
Inc.; SunOpta Grains and Foods, Inc.;
Transco Railway Products, Inc.; and
TriState Quality Metals, LLC.
This month, Moody’s Investment
Service reassigned an aa2 rating for
the college’s bond sales through the
State of Iowa’s 260E program. The
aa2 is the second highest rating possible and is the second consecutive year
Moody’s has assigned the rating to
NICC, an indication of the college’s
strong financial standing. Since 1985,
NICC has secured $82.3 million in
state job training assistance for 14,881
new jobs.
“The great news about these expansions and new businesses in our
district is the continued growth of 450
jobs in our region that will occur in the
next two years,” said Wendy MihmHerold, Ph.D., NICC vice president of
Business and Community Solutions.
The trustees heard additional plans
about a new facility at the Calmar
campus that will provide enhanced
support for students in growing agricultural programs. At the meeting, the
board approved preliminary plans,
specifications and form of contract for
a new beef barn, which will be located just north of Iowa’s Dairy Center,
replacing an aging facility. The new
barn is a mono slope beef shelter and
will be used by Beef Science Technology, Large Animal Veterinary Technician, Agriculture Business and Dairy
Science students, according to John
Noel, NICC vice president of finance
and administration.
“The actual management of a beef
cattle herd is something very valuable
for us to teach our students,” Noel
said. “Our ag instructors are excited
about adding this structure to our
campus to enhance the education of
our students.”
The facility’s estimated construction cost is approximately $850,000
and, in addition to barn areas to house
and feed a 100-head beef cattle herd,
will contain a classroom and public
gathering area. NICC will hold a public hearing on the plans and specifications on July 20 at 3 p.m. during the
trustees’ monthly meeting.
Rhonda Seibert, Calmar campus
provost, updated the trustees on restoration work at Iowa’s Dairy Center following a fire at the facility last
March.
“The restoration work is nearly
100 percent complete, with the exception of rims around lights in ceiling areas and the replacement of insulation,” Seibert said. “We’re ready
for our annual Breakfast on the Farm
event on June 20.”
“The event at Iowa’s Dairy Center
builds important relationships with
the community, drawing visitors from
outside of northeast Iowa and even
outside of the state each year,” NICC
President Liang Chee Wee, Ph.D.,
added. “Last year, more than 1,000
attended the Breakfast on the Farm
event.”
In other news, NICC is researching
new Learning Management Systems
(LMS) that will provide a more efficient and enhanced online and hybrid
course learning environment.
“In accordance with our Master
Technology Plan, we are examining
other systems that offer a better product, such as ease of use, functionality
and a more efficient learning environment for faculty and students,” said
Kathy Nacos-Burds, Ph.D., NICC
vice president of academic affairs, in
a presentation to the trustees.
The college believes that investment in relationships with the global
community is critical to the success of
its students, faculty and local communities. In a presentation to the board,
President Wee updated the trustees on
his participation with a Dubuque-led
delegation’s visit to Handan, China,
from May 23 – 30.
Handan serves as the Sister City
to Dubuque and Handan officials had
made several trips to northeast Iowa
to learn about higher education institutions and business and industry, according to Dr. Wee.
“The officials in Handan treasure
our relationship immensely throughout their 20 years of working with the
City of Dubuque,” he said.
During the visit in China, NICC
and Handan colleges discussed a nonbinding memorandum of understanding to explore future areas of collaboration, such as a student-faculty
exchange program, hosting a Chinese
language teacher at NICC, cross-cultural programs and academic research
collaboration.
The delegation visited with officials from Handan Vocational and
Technical College, Handan College
and Hebei University of Engineering.
“There are currently 1,300 colleges in
China that are similar to community
colleges in the U.S., with 90 percent
of the schools established in the last
15 years,” Dr. Wee explained.
In his president’s report, Dr. Wee
shared information with the trustees about a visit on June 12 by Iowa
Governor Terry Branstad to the NICC
Cresco Center “Be Your Own Boss
Camp.” The STEM and entrepreneurial-focused camp for students in
5th and 6th grade is one of many that
NICC centers are offering this summer for young students. Additional
camps are scheduled in Manchester,
Oelwein and Waukon. The camps
allow NICC to strengthen collaborations with K-12 school districts.
Four trustees announced their intentions to run for another four-year
term on the NICC Board of Trustees.
The members will be on the September 2015 ballot for school board elections. They are: Ken Reimer, D.V.M.
of Elkader, who is currently board
president and represents the school
districts of MFL MarMac, Central
Elkader, Clayton Ridge, EdgewoodColesburg and Maquoketa Valley; Jim
Anderson, of Decorah, who is currently board vice president and represents
the Howard Winneshiek, North Winneshiek and Decorah school districts;
and Larry Blatz and Dan White, both
of Dubuque, who represent Dubuque
Community School District.
After a closed session to discuss
collective bargaining negotiations
and non-bargaining employment conditions, the trustees approved agreements with the NICC Higher Education Association, the Support Staff
Association and the Non-Bargaining
Salary Guidelines and Salaries for
FY16.
The board completed the review of
its policies, which encompass seven
domains: Governance, Administration, Human Resources, Students, Instruction, Business and Operational
Procedures, and Community. At this
month’s meeting, the board approved
the second reading of recommended
updates to Business and Operational
Procedures and the final reading of
the Community policy domains.
Winneshiek SWCD Sponsoring Walking Tour of Conservation Practices at NICC-Calmar
The Winneshiek Soil and Water
Conservation District (SWCD) will
be hosting a walking tour of conservation stewardship practices at
Northeast Iowa Community CollegeCalmar Campus (NICC) on Wednesday, July 22nd.
Over the past several years, NICC
and the Northeast Iowa Dairy Foundation (NIDF) have installed a variety of conservation practices. Their
commitment to conservation has created a centralized location for people
to observe and learn about different
practices available to help improve
soil health and water quality. Since
2011, the following practices have
been installed: bioswale, conservation planting (turf grass to oak savanna), shelterbelts, native species tree
planting, butterfly garden, stormwater wetlands, grassed waterways,
sediment basin and cover crops. In
spring 2016, the following practices
will be completed through a grant
received from the Iowa Department
of Agriculture and Land Stewardship
for an urban conservation demonstration project at Iowa’s Robotic Dairy
Center: infiltration trench, enhanced
rain garden, permeable pavers and
sediment basin.
The July 22nd event will run from
9 a.m. to noon with lunch included
(registration required for lunch).
Please meet in the Wilder Business
Center for a short program before
heading to the field. The event will
be held rain or shine and participants
should dress accordingly and wear
appropriate footwear. Field activities will be a rainfall simulator trailer
demonstration by Jered Finley, Area
Resource Conservationist with the
Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS), a Hagie Cover
Crop Interseeder demonstration
and a walking tour of conservation
practices. Staff from the Winneshiek
SWCD, NRCS, NICC and NIDF will
be present to answer questions about
cost-share programs and practices.
The day will close with lunch catered
by NICC.
Registration is required if you will
be joining us for lunch. If you have
questions, need accommodations or
to register, please contact Michelle
Elliott or Corey Meyer at 563-3824352 ext. 3 no later than Wednesday,

appears on the list of cities approved for a preconstruction loan so he will try to get more information to us on this; an Intended Use Plan is
required for the CDBG application and will need
to be filed with the DNR by Sept. 1st for their
approval; he continues to work with Casey Mai
from Upper Explorerland coordinating what is
needed from their firm for the CDBG application
which is due in November.
Elsbernd made a motion approving an Influent
Lift Station Modifications Engineering Services
Agreement Amendment #1-Flood Plain Permitting, seconded by Schneiter, carried.
Elsbernd made a motion approving Wastewater Treatment Facility Plan Engineering Services
Agreement Amendment #1-Antidegradation Alternative Analysis, seconded by Schmitt, carried.

Greg Barta reported routine summer maintenance projects are underway.
The newly hired Winneshiek County Development Executive Director, Stephanie From, introduced herself and noted their office would like
to work with Fort Atkinson when ever possible
and may be able to assist the City with applying
for grants.
Motion by Schneiter to approve the following
consent items: June 3, 2015 council minutes,
clerk’s reports, and monthly bills, seconded by
Karnik, carried.
The Council reviewed the interest rate proposals submitted by Citizen’s Savings Bank,
State Bank and Luana Savings Bank for a
$140,000.00 loan to finance the City’s sewage lift station project. Elsbernd made a motion accepting the 2.9% fixed interest rate with
Luana Savings Bank and set a public hearing
for Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. on
the proposal to borrow funds for the construction
of the sewage lift station, seconded by Schmitt,
carried.
Glass made a motion approving the application
for a new Class C Liquor/w Sunday Sales Permit for The Fort, seconded by Schneiter, carried.
Elsbernd made a motion introducing Resolution #272, a resolution approving and adopting
a revenue purpose statement for the use or expenditure of revenues from an electric franchise
fee, seconded by Glass.
The Mayor put the question on the motion and
the following named council members voted:
Ayes: Glass, Karnik, Schneiter, Elsbernd,
Schmitt.
Nays: None.
Whereupon the Mayor declared said motions
approved
Schneiter made a motion setting a public hearing for Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 6:30 p.m.
for the purpose of considering a proposed ordinance amendment to establish a 5% franchise
fee, as authorized by City Ordinance No. 5 grant
to Interstate Power and Light Company (Alliant
Energy), an electric franchise, seconded by Elsbernd, carried.
The Mayor and Council discussed that it has
been a number of years since the conditions of
sidewalks and the height of tree limbs above
sidewalks have been inspected. The consensus
is to have Mayor Herold, Glass and Schneiter
begin inspecting both sidewalks and trees to
assure they are in compliance with the City’s
ordinance.
Keeping from mowing grass clippings onto
City’s streets was also discussed. It can plug
storm sewers and can make streets slippery
and the practice is also in violation of the City’s
ordinance.
Schneiter made a motion to adjourn, seconded
by Glass, carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m.

mound during the first inning of Saturday’s game
against Dunkerton. RIGHT: First baseman CJ
Eichenberger stretches out to catch the ball to get
the out at first during last Saturday’s district game.
Trojans Sweep Stars & Oust Dunkerton
Turkey Valley picked up three
wins last week at two events to end
the regular season and stay alive in
the post-season. TV took two wins
last Monday night in Arlington topping Starmont then made a great
comeback on Saturday night against
Dunkerton to stay alive in district
play.
@ Starmont 7.6
The Trojans played their last two
regular season games and their last
UIC games of the 2015 season ending their shaky season with a sweep
over the Starmont Stars.
Game 1
Game one was a hitting battle
with TV coming out on top after
connecting 17 times with the ball
driving in 11 RBIs and 15 runs. The
Trojans held Starmont to nine hits
and just as many runs to take game
one 15-9.
“We hit the ball well and scored
a bunch of runs,” noted Coach Dan
Stepan. “We will need to do that if
we want to advance in the tournament.”

Game 2
TV stayed close to the Stars in
game two with a 5-5 score at the end
of four innings but kicked up their
game in the last three parts. Defensively the Trojans kept Starmont
from scoring again while adding one
run to their score in the fifth to lead
6-5 with two innings left. TV spotted seven more runs in the sixth then
tacked on five more in the seventh
to win game two and take the sweep
18-5.
“We picked up where we left off
in game one,” Stepan added. “Hopefully we can use this momentum going forward.”

Lady Warriors Edged Out Of Playoffs
After sitting for the first round
of the 2015 regional schedule, the
Lady Warriors hosted the SumnerFredericksburg Cougars in the second round last Wednesday, July 8 in
Calmar.
Earlier in the season SW pulled
out a win over the Cougars and were
hoping to be victorious against them
to keep their season alive. Although
the Lady Warriors were hosting the
game, they played as the visiting
team, per the coin flip.
The Cougars took advantage of
some early game jitters posting two
runs over the Lady Warriors then
spotted three more in the second to
lead 0-5. SW marked their first run
in the third finally showing some
life at the plate. SW lost some momentum in the fourth after only one
run scored in what should have been
a three-run play leaving SW behind
three runs with three innings to go.
SW kept the Cougars from scoring at all after the second inning but
couldn’t get their bats fired up at the
plate ending the game 2-5 SF.

Lady Trojans Top Starmont,
End Season At Kee
The 2015 post-season part of the
Turkey Valley softball season started and ended last week after playing
two games in the second and third
rounds of regional play.
Vs. Starmont 7.8
After a first round bye, the Lady
Trojans hosted the Starmont Stars
for the second round of the Class 1A
Region 3 bracket. The game started
slow with Turkey Valley posting
two runs in the first inning to hold
a small lead through the first three
innings. The Stars got on the board
with one run in the fourth but TV answered in the bottom with three runs
to push their lead to 5-1 with three
innings to go. Starmont marked a
second run in the fifth and the Lady
Trojans followed suit answering
with three runs in the bottom to increase the gap to 8-2. The last two
innings were fruitless giving TV the
8-2 win and a spot in the third round.

Warriors Battle Through Busy Week
South Winn’s baseball team had a
very busy week in their last five days
of the regular season playing seven
games to add five wins and two losses to their record.
Vs. Postville 7.6
On Monday, the Warriors started
the week with a UIC double header
against the Postville Pirates. The
game was scheduled to be played
in Postville but due to rain and field
conditions, the game was moved to
Calmar.
Game 1
Postville played as the home team
but SW still had the field advantage
and took the game easily. The Warriors scored in just three innings but
shutout the Pirates 8-0 in game one.
“Tyler Numedahl improved to
7-0 on the mound with a dominating
four-inning performance,” complimented Coach Alex Smith. “He also
set the table offensively with two
hits. Ryan Hageman was the other
multi-hit performer and also drove in
three of our eight runs. Our defense
was sound and both Tyler and Ryan
attacked the strike zone.”

Game 2
The second game went much
quicker than the first ending in just
four innings. The Warriors racked
up 10 runs in the first inning alone
then added ten more runs over the
next three innings all while shutting
down the Pirate batters to win 20-0.
“A big ten-run first inning capped
off by a Carson Lensing three-run
homer set the tone for the game,” explained Smith. “Christian was solid
on the mound in his three innings of
work and we played solid defense be-
hind him.”

Vs. Mason City 7.7
On Tuesday the Warriors hosted
the 4A Mason City Mohawks for a
non-conference game in Calmar.
The first three innings were defensively tight with no runs scored. MC
was able to score a run on the fourth
then added two more in the fifth but
no other runs crossed the plate by the
end of the seventh giving the win to
MC 0-3.
“This was a well played baseball
game by both teams and our guys
really enjoyed playing in front of a
crowd that felt like a playoff type of
environment,” noted Smith. “Mason
City hit a big two-run homer in the
top of the fifth to give them a threerun lead. I was overall pleased with
our approaches at the plate, but we
just couldn’t string together hits and
couldn’t get the big two-out hit.”

@North Fayette Valley 7.8
The Warriors played their second
WINNESHIEK COUNTY
UIC game against the North Fayette
Valley Tigerhawks last Wednesday
in Fayette at Upper Iowa University’s
field.
The game was intense from the
first pitch as the game outcome determined the conference championship.
“The Warriors were able to capture their third Upper Iowa Conference title in the last four years with
the 7-1 win,” stated Smith.
SW hit the ball well connecting
11 times in seven innings producing
seven runs while giving up six hits to
NFV allowing just one run to cross
the plate.
NFV scored first with their only
run in the bottom of the second and
it took SW until the fourth to answer
with a run to level the score. SW
got a five run boost in the fifth then
added on one more run in the sixth
to win 7-1.
The win gave the Warriors a share
of UIC title with NFV and CRC as
each team split their games with
each other.

Vs. Janesville 7.9
South Winn hosted their last regular season home game last Thursday night hosting the Janesville
Wildcats.
Both teams made great plays to
keep the game interesting but SW
held the lead from the third inning
until the final 11-7 win.
“Tyler Numedahl picked up his
eighth win of the season entering
the game in the fifth inning in relief,” Smith said. “It took a couple
big Warrior innings in the fourth
and fifth to take control of the game.
The Warriors trailed 7-6 entering the
bottom of the fifth but put up a big
inning after back-to-back bunt hits
by Numedahl and Rommes followed
by singles by Kleve, Hageman and
Jacobsen. The Warriors pounded
out sixteen hits total with six hitters tallying multiple hit nights. This
was a nice win as Janesville hit the
ball well and we made big plays defensively when we needed them and
found ways out of innings.”

@ Lisbon 7.10
The Warriors closed their regular season on Friday night playing a
double header against Class 1A, #3
ranked Lisbon splitting the wins.
Game 1
“In the Warriors 38th game of the
regular season, they reached the 30
win mark with a win over a very talented Lisbon squad that entered the
doubleheader with a record of 29-1,”
stated Smith. “In game one, Lisbon
jumped out early and didn’t look
back. We couldn’t shut off the big
inning and we failed to extend the
game with some scoring opportunities.”
SW struggled in their first match
up connecting with the ball just four
times producing no runs.
Lisbon racked up 12 hits and 12
runs to shut out the Warriors in game
one 0-12.
Team batting: 4-19.

Game 2
SW pulled themselves up by their
cleat strings and put together a good
second game against Lisbon. The
Warriors had 16 hits producing 11
runs while allowing 12 hits to Lisbon but giving up only 8 runs.
“The second game was a well
played high school game that featured two talented offenses going
back and forth. The four senior pitchers of Rommes, Hageman, Kuennen,
and Kleve were able to keep Lisbon
somewhat in check and a number
of offense players put together big
games highlighted by Rommes’ five
for five performance at the plate,”
Smith said. “This was a big week
of baseball for us leading into the
playoffs and I feel our guys are well
prepared for big games moving forward. Our goal was to be challenged
throughout the regular season, and I
think we accomplished that by playing several ranked teams along with
other strong programs from the area.
Whether it be six more games or just
one moving forward, I’m confident
our guys will compete to the final
out and enjoy the moment.”
