On April 26 at HyVee Hall in Des
Moines, high school seniors around the
state were recognized by Governor Terry
Branstad for academic excellence. Among
the honorees were South Winneshiek’s
Jerod Heying and Turkey Valley’s Nicole
Schmitt.
The statewide program, sponsored by
the Iowa Governor’s Office, Iowa High
School Athletic Association (IHSAA)
and its title sponsor the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF), honored 436 high
school seniors from across Iowa.
“Iowa Farm Bureau members believe
that by investing in our youth and communities, we’re investing in the future of
Gov. Terry Branstad and Jerod Heying.
Iowa,” said IFBF President Craig Hill.
“We are so proud to honor such exceptional students and proud to be a leading
contributor to educational programs and
annual scholarships for our youth.”
Each high school was invited to select
their senior student or students with the
highest academic ranking, based on grade
point average for their first seven semesters. Students selected for the award also
had the opportunity to recognize their favorite/most influential teacher and will receive a photo plaque of their meeting with
Governor Branstad.

Bank Robber Caught In Illinois,
Brought Back to Winneshiek County
Most people who live in small
town America do so for specific
reasons and in small town northeast
Iowa, the people live here for several specific reasons including what
most of us refer to as that “small
town atmosphere”. Generally that
atmosphere includes safety and lack
of crime. However, crime knows no
boundaries and happens everywhere.
Last Tuesday, May 12, 2015,
downtown Calmar was a hot spot for
local, county, state and federal law
enforcement agencies due to a robbery at State Bank.
At approximately 10:30 a.m. a
robbery was reported to 911 from
the State Bank in Calmar with a
description of the robber as a black
male, gray stubble, approximately 6’
1”, 180 lbs, wearing a black baggy
sweatshirt that said Atlanta Falcons
and khaki pants.
All levels of law enforcement
converged into Calmar to start investigating the apparent robbery. The
Winneshiek County Sheriff’s Office
and the Calmar Police Department,
supported by the Iowa State Patrol,
the FBI and DCI, worked diligently
to follow up on numerous leads that
flooded in.
Two search warrants were issued
and carried out but by 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday night the suspect was still at
large. At 9:00 p.m., the Winneshiek

2015 Driftless
Safari kicks off
Memorial Day
Weekend
The 2015 Winneshiek Driftless
Safari is set to begin Memorial Day
weekend. Join in and get ready for a
season spent exploring some of the
natural, cultural, and historic treasures of Winneshiek County!
Driftless Safari is a long-term
scavenger hunt that covers all of
Winneshiek County and runs from
Memorial Day until Halloween. The
program is free and open to anyone
that loves to explore and wants to experience some of the special places
of Winneshiek County.
The program’s guidebook and
map feature twenty locations across
the county, all highlighting a unique
natural, historical, or cultural place.
Once at a site, participants follow
clues in the guidebook to find a
wooden post affixed with a special
tile, using that tile to make a crayon
rubbing in their guidebook as proof
of their visit. Every guidebook page
provides information about the site,
gives tips on what clothing or gear
might be appropriate for that location, and offers ideas for fun activities to do while there.
“The Safari sites can be visited in
any order,” says Lilly Jensen, Driftless Safari Coordinator, “and we suggest that you keep your guidebooks
and maps handy in a car, purse, or
backpack so you’re always ready to
go on a quick Safari.”
The 2015 Driftless Safari features
many new sites, so even those who
have participated in previous years
have a whole new adventure in front
of them. “There’s a great variety
of featured sites, everything from
city and county parks to museums
to wildlife management areas. We
hope that we introduce participants
to some unique places in Winneshiek
County that they may not have been
familiar with before,” says Jensen.
Participants who are able to visit
at least fifteen of the twenty Safari
sites are eligible for entry in a drawing for one of several great prizes.
To participate in Driftless Safari, visit any Winneshiek County
public library to pick up a free map
and guidebook. Materials will be
available beginning Friday, May
22, so adventures can begin over the
long Memorial Day weekend. Winneshiek County public libraries include Calmar Public Library (101 S.
Washington Street), Decorah Public
Library (202 Winnebago Street), Fort
Atkinson Public Library (302 3rd
Street NW), Ossian Public Library
(123 West Main Street), and Spillville Public Library (201 Oak Street).
The purpose of Driftless Safari
is to help residents of and visitors
to Winneshiek County engage in
healthful physical activity, to increase awareness of and connectedness to the natural, historical, and
cultural environments of Winneshiek
County, and to foster a sense of community engagement and environmental stewardship in participants.
The 2015 Driftless Safari is made
possible by the generous support
of The Depot Outlet, the Center for
Sustainable Communities at Luther
College, the Iowa Driftless Chapter
of Trout Unlimited, the Winneshiek
County Conservation Board, Winneshiek County public libraries, and
many additional local businesses and
organizations.

By Mary Welch
Because of the strategic position it occupies, Calmar became a significant point for the railroad, receiving trains from all four directions. Many
railroad men made Calmar their home, and “the railroad eating house”
was part of the town.
Calmar had excellent passenger train service through the 1940’s. In
1948, each line running out of town still had passenger service that was
quite luxurious in most cases. Between Chicago and South Dakota, two
trains ran each way, the Sioux and the Marquette. The Sioux was the fast
mail train, and ran at night. The Marquette had more convenient departure
times, and ran between Chicago and Mason City, Iowa. The Marquette
included a Cafe Parlor Car, a sleeping car, and of course a diner and a
coach. The Minnesota-Marquette broke from the Marquette at Calmar,
and continued to Minneapolis-St. Paul. This train also had a sleeping car.
On the Cedar Rapids to Calmar line, there were still two trains a day, each
way, making their runs. One was a gas motor car, commonly called the
“doodle-bug”.
In 1996, when she was a 91-year-old resident of Great River Care Center in McGregor, the late Thelma Wangsness Vick wrote a wonderful letter
to the Calmar Courier, that included memories of the railroad and depot
here from 1910 to the 1920’s. She said, “The big wooden passenger depot
was north of the tracks, with a baggage room connected on the west side.
Frank Marron was the depot agent. There were two waiting rooms, one for
women and one for men. The doors were never locked and many hobos
would jump out of the box cars and sleep on the long wooden benches in
the depot. I remember that Emma and Rose Hosper and Amelia Jacobson
worked there.”
“Decorah was only 10 miles from Calmar and there was a passenger
train between these two towns once a day. When Calmar was notified that
Sousa’s Band would make a stop, the whole town turned out to greet the
band members as they stepped down from the train wearing their uniforms
and carrying their instruments. They played several numbers and were
cheered by everyone as they filed back on the train, heading for Chicago.”
“The freight depot was down the tracks a ways. Ed Hackett was the
agent and my brother, the clerk. Charlie Wonfooter was the flag man who
would sit on a bench outside his little hut that was located on a large space
between the rails. He would stand on the track, wave his red flag, and warn
everyone that a train was coming.”
Let us know your memories of the depot and train in Calmar by contacting Mary Welch at 563-562-4077 or writing her at PO Box 588 or just
stopping at the Depot Building in Calmar to talk with her.

Takes Field Trip
The Turkey Valley kindergarten
classes recently enjoyed a field trip to
Annie’s Gardens and Greens, south
of Festina. While the students had
opportunities to tour the greenhouses and taste fresh asparagus, the most
popular activity was getting their
hands right in the dirt! They kept
busy planting onions and potatoes
and also transplanted some beans.
The students were also thrilled to
be able to choose a plant or flower
to take home in a hand-painted pot
to give as a gift for their moms on
Mother’s Day. Special thanks to Ann
Bushman for the wonderful, handson gardening experience!
After visiting Bay Valley Foods the students ate at Lucky Bamboo Restaurant
and got to try their hands at using chopsticks.

Faces of our Future
by Nancy Franzen Parent and Co Chair of the Future of Turkey Valley Committee
by Nancy Franzen,
Parent and Co-Chair of the Future of Turkey Valley Committee
A few months ago Turkey Valley Schools polled their parents to see if
they would be interested in getting involved in making some decisions for
the future of our school. Given that my husband, Dean, and I have 2 children
currently in the school system we completed the poll and offered to volunteer
to be on the committee. Our reasons as a family were varied with the obvious
being that we wanted to be involved in the future education opportunities
made available to our boys. Secondly, we felt that if the school was giving
us an opportunity to have a voice in the future we need to be involved or
we would need to support someone else’s decision when the time came for
changes at our school. Thirdly, we understand that the next generation is worthy of our investment of our time now. I was fortunate enough to be elected
as a co-chair of the Future of Turkey Valley Committee and I’m eager to be a
representative of our committee in our community and to our school board.
Kids in northeast Iowa are fortunate to come from great schools no matter what district you come from. This is where our dilemma comes about in
all schools. Our schools are great, teaching staffs are awesome, curriculum
is top notch, and our children are happy. That’s every parent’s dream when
they send their kids off to school. The problems we are finding are two-fold,
declining enrollment and lack of funding to make up the difference to keep
the school budgets solvent. Turkey Valley School district, along with many
districts in the northeast Iowa quadrant, have had declining enrollment. This
is why it is so important to be involved now. As I like to say, it’s far better to
be proactive rather than reactive.
Initially Turkey Valley had 80 people, including community members,
staff, and parents, interested in becoming involved in the Future of Turkey
Valley Committee. That was narrowed down to the 30 current members. Additionally, our meetings are open to the public and every week we have had
people from the public offer ideas, ask questions, add information or make
comments at our meetings. We meet twice a month to discuss the options for
our school’s future and to become more familiar with the current opportunities that are available to our students, to help figure out the best concept for
everyone involved in the excellence at Turkey Valley. The meetings have
been a huge learning process for all of us involved.
We have had a detailed financial report submitted to us that really offered
some great insight as to the financial direction of our school and brought
about more questions and avenues to look into, to decide what the future direction of Turkey Valley Schools will be. In reaction to that report, we’ve created two sub-committees, one is working to set up marketing and promotion
of Turkey Valley that isn’t already being done and the other is a school visit/
fact-finding committee to see if there are schools using or doing something
that we haven’t thought of or heard of that we could implement at TV.
The marketing committee has been collecting costs and ideas of ways to
promote Turkey Valley in several different areas that are available to us. They
are trying to share the perks we have at Turkey Valley in different ways that
will reach the biggest population outside of our district and to let people, who
may or may not have children in school but live in our district, know why they
should continue to support Turkey Valley.
The fact-finding committee has been contacting area schools that have
had or currently have similar issues to work through with the same goal of
making our/their school as healthy as possible. The similarities include, but
aren’t limited to, enrollment numbers, previous/current financial rearranging,
staffing, extra curricular changes, sharing staff, etc. We are hoping the people
we visit with at these schools will give us some additional resources to take
into consideration while making our recommendation to the school board.
Other things we have done to try to get the most information possible to
share at meetings so we can make an informed, well researched, thought out
recommendation to our school board have also been happening. We sent out
a survey to schools that were slightly larger and slightly smaller than our current enrollment with the goal to recognize the ways that we can protect our
current school population and academic opportunities, but also lay a foundation for great education opportunities at Turkey Valley and in northeast Iowa

Uiu Online Nursing Program
Receives Top 20 Ranking
Best College Reviews has ranked
Upper Iowa University’s Online RN
to BSN program as the 20th best in
the nation. UIU was the only Iowa
university to be ranked in the top
20. An independent college search
and rankings website, Best College
Reviews ranked University of Massachusetts – Amherst as the top university to offer such programming.
“We believe this ranking is a testament to the attention UIU pays to
providing a quality, cost-effective
education to our nursing students,”
said Upper Iowa University director
of nursing/department chairperson
Virginia Wangerin. “We sincerely
believe our program makes a difference by encouraging our students to
become better nurses. As UIU graduates, they will be readily prepared to
improve safety and quality of care
at their respective place of employment. In addition, they are prepared
to enter graduate school to advance
in their profession.”
The criteria for ranking the best
online RN to BSN programs were
based on the following:
Affordability - The estimated average cost of the program after RN or
Associate’s degree credits are transferred.
Academic Quality of Parent Insti-
tution - The ranking of the program’s
parent institution according to US
News.
Flexibility - Whether the program
is fully online and the number of
tracks through which the program
can be completed.
Best College Reviews noted UIU
offers a hybrid and fully online RN to
BSN program that is not self-paced,
although it may be taken as full-time
or part-time programs. Classes start
every eight weeks, with new terms
starting at the same increments, for
a total of six terms per year.

Public Talk Offered on the Results of
Archaeological Work at the 1840s Ho-Chunk/
Winnebago Ridged Farm Field near Fort Atkinson
Last fall, archaeologists and volunteers explored a ridged field adjacent to the Hewitt-Olmsted trading
post site in northeast Iowa. The public is invited to a talk by archaeologist Cindy Peterson, who will discuss
the site’s history and project findings
at 6:00 PM, Sunday, May 24, 2015,
at the Fort Atkinson City Library.
Early Winneshiek County settlers
reported a Ho-Chunk/Winnebago
village and farm field in the vicinity
of the 1840s trading post. Today, the
presence of eight raised ridges covering one acre suggested American
Indian use as a farm field about 170
years ago. Archaeological excavations sought to verify the ridges’ use
as an agricultural field and to assess
the level of site preservation.
Today, this important site lies
within a timbered plot owned by The
Archaeological Conservancy. Very
little was known about this portion
of the site prior to this year’s work.
Archaeological excavations discovered over 300 artifacts, including
ornaments, smoking pipe fragments,
and pottery. The site is recommended
eligible to the National Register of
Historic Places.
The University of Iowa’s Office
of the State Archaeologist (OSA)
archaeologically studied the site
under the terms of an agreement between OSA and the Fort Atkinson
Historic Preservation Commission.
The Commission received a Certified Local Government Grant from
the Iowa Department of Cultural Af-
Volunteers excavating a test unit at the site.

an archaeological investigation. Volunteers greatly aided in this effort
through their field and laboratory
assistance.

Winneshiek County Acquires New
Emergency Notification System
Winneshiek Emergency Preparedness Coalition asks residents
to subscribe to free service
DECORAH, Iowa—Winneshiek
County has a new way of alerting
the public to an emergency situation;
Inspiron Logistics’ Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS)
allows the county to quickly notify
residents, neighborhoods or groups
of people of dangerous situations including weather warnings.
A considerable portion of Winneshiek County residents only use
cell phones as their primary source
of communication; WENS gives the
county the ability to notify all residents within moments of an emergency situation via cell phone. The
system, which is internet-based, also
can notify people by landline and
email.
To subscribe, residents should go
to http://tinyurl.com/wcalert and enter their contact numbers and email
addresses.
“Besides letting the community
know that the technology exists, the
biggest challenge we’re facing is encouraging Winneshiek residents to

SW To Compete In 12
Events At The State Oval
Due to storms last Thursday night,
the Warriors State Qualifying Meet
was rescheduled to Friday. SW traveled to Osage to compete against 11
other teams for a chance to punch
their ticket to State. The 2015 State
Track & Field Meet will be held in
Des Moines, in, on and around the
blue oval at Drake Stadium.
Warriors:
As a team, South Winn placed 3rd
with 90 points, 23 points out of gold.
The Warriors finished with four 1st
place finishes, seven total top-three
placements and double scored in
three events.
“The guys came out to compete.
We started the night off with great
performances in the field events,”
Coach Scott Conway noted. “Additionally, the 4x800 and 3200 guys
lead us off with lifetime and season
best performances to score in two
events in which I knew would be difficult to score. The shuttle hurdle
began after the break with another series of lifetime/season bests to sneak
an 8th place.”
SW qualified to compete at the
State Meet in seven events including
the Discus- Carson Lensing, 1st and
Jordan Rommes, 2nd; the Shot PutLensing, 1st; the High Jump- Rommes, 1st; 400 Hurdles- Ben Meyer, 1st;
Long Jump- Ben Meyer, 2nd; 4x100
relay- Lensing, Treyton Jacobsen,
Mitchell Herold, Rommes, 4th and the
4x200 relay- Nathan Ward, Jacobsen,
Herold, Meyer, 3rd.
“They just continued to fight to
win heats and flights. Going into the
night I felt we had an outside chance
of finishing 5th as a team. Thanks to
how hard everyone competed, we
were able to outperform our seeding. The seniors stepped up and one
of, if not, the greatest nights of their
careers, which is a fitting send off,”
Conway ended.
Watch the Warriors compete at
the 2015 State Track & Field Meet in
Des Moines this week! On Thursday,
May 21, Meyer will compete in the
Long Jump at 9 a.m.; Lensing will
throw the Shot Put at 11:30 a.m. Friday, May 21 will be Rommes at the

in the State Qualifying Meet and it
pays off when qualifying for the State
Meet.
As a team, the Lady Warriors took
2nd place out of 12 total teams with
89 points, 57.5 points out of 1st, five
points above 3rd. The Ladies had two
1st place finishes, seven top-three
finishes and double scored in five
events.
“Our girls performed exceptionally well. We qualified everything we
expected to qualify, including events
we thought would be on the bubble,”
said Coach Kevin Kearney. Finish-
ing up the year as both Conference
and Regional runners-up was a great
accomplishment for this team. They
exceeded our expectations and competed very well over the last weeks of
the season.”
All together the Ladies put five
events through to the State Meet list
including the 100m Hurdles- Lexie
Warth, 1st; Discus- Brittany Shindelar, 2nd; Shot Put- Shindelar, 1st and

Ladies Wrap Up 3rd At UIC
Golf; Trojans Finish 7th
The annual Upper Iowa Conference golf meet was held last Monday, the girls in Luana and the boys
in Guttenberg, in cold, windy conditions with temps in the 50’s.
“The weather did not do us any favors today,” said Coach John Reicks.
“But the kids did a nice job battling
the elements.”
Ladies:
Three Lady Trojans played well
enough to earn All-UIC honors, by
placing in the top 15 golfers, including Nicole Meirick, 6th, her second
straight year as an All-UIC player;
Josie Einwalter, 8th and Taylor Novotny, 10th.
“I am very proud of the effort
today by our girls. Three players in
the top 10- WOW!” complimented
Reicks. “Nicole M., Josie and Taylor
all played ‘lights out’ and set the tone
for an outstanding day for the Lady
Trojans.”
Nicole Meirick led the team with
an overall score of 98 from rounds of
51 and 47; Josie was just two strokes
behind with a tally of 100 after
rounds of 51 and 49; Taylor finished
with a 103 shooting rounds of 55 and
48; Jensen Winter scored a 118 with
rounds of 61 and 57; Nicole Schmitt
ended with a card of 119 after shooting 59 and 60 and Josine Gossling tallied a 126 with rounds of 64 and 62.
“I was happy to see five out of our
six girls shoot a lower score in the
second round, especially when they
were getting tired. We did NOT have
one double-figure number on our
scorecard by any of our girls,” continued Reicks. “We were hoping to
catch South Winn for second place,
but the TV girls gave the Lady Warriors a run for their money falling
just seven strokes short.”
Trojans:
Senior Tom Reicks led TV earning All-UIC honors, for the second
straight year, finishing with an 86
from rounds of 39 and 47 putting him
in 14th place. Freshman Cale Reicks
finished with a 95 with rounds of
47 and 48; Jaden Bruess tallied 100
after rounds of 52 and 48; Travis
Reicks had a card of 104 shooting
two rounds of 52; CJ Eichenberger
ended with a 105 with rounds of 57
and 48 and Seth Jencks totaled 109
after shooting 56 and 53.
“Tom had a great first round (39)
and hung on to notch all-conference
honors for the second year in a row,”
stated Reicks. “Cale and Travis were
very consistent on the day, and Jaden,
CJ, and Seth all lowered their scores
when they toured the course during
the afternoon round. I was hoping to
catch Ed-Co for sixth, but we fell just
five strokes short.”

Warriors Advance To District Links
“It was a perfect day for golf,
mid-70s and no wind,” started Coach
Doug Schweinefus. “It was a very
tough section to be in with lots of
good teams. It was a good day for the
Warriors, they advance to Districts.”
After playing the sectional golf
meet last Friday in Parkersburg,
the Warriors will stay alive in their
quest for the State Meet. As a team
they placed 3rd and will advance to
the next round as a team.
Logan Schweinefus won the meet
finishing with a 73, after winning a
one-hole playoff. Logan birdied the
hole while a Denver golfer pared.
“Logan had a tougher day after
starting his first round two over par
after a double bogey on hole two and
another bogey on hole four,” noted
Schweinefus. “He ended his first
nine with a 37 after getting two birdies on five and eight.”
“The back nine was a challenge
for him again,” explained Schweinefus. “Three bogeys and three birdies
to shoot an even 36. Logan is very
determined and has played well under pressure.”
Also scoring for SW were Nathan
Winter, 75; Tanner Kuennen, 80 and
Jerod Heying, 82. Finishing out the
team were Anthony Emanuel, 84 and
Blake Kuennen, 88.
“We couldn’t be prouder of Nathan’s round. He put it all together
shooting a 36 on the front and a 39
on the back. He played solid all day,”
complimented Schweinefus. “We
had great scores from our seniors,
Nathan and Jerod, and they helped
us for a solid team score,” said Schweinefus. “We will play at Dike on
Friday and the course sets up good
for our boys. We just need to play
solid golf one swing at a time.”
Trojans End Season At Sectional Golf
Turkey Valley competed in what
would be their only post-season meet
last Friday at Backbone GCC against
six other teams. As a team, Turkey
Valley earned 5th place, which ended
their team campaign but one golfer
made it through as an individual.
Senior Tom Reicks shot an 81,
shooting a 41 and 40, and tied for
second overall to lead the Trojans,
but lost a two-hole sudden death
playoff leaving him in 3rd place
overall. Tom will go on to play in the
District Meet this Friday, May 22 at
Cedar Falls.
“Tom is the first boy from Turkey Valley to advance to districts
as an individual since Jon Skretta in
2002,” noted Coach John Reicks. “I
was really proud of Tom’s effort,
especially down the stretch. After a
double bogey on seven, Tom closed
out with a par-par finish to earn his
district berth.”
Other individual results included
Cale Reicks totaling 91 from rounds
of 41 and 50; CJ Eichenberger had a
103 after rounds of 55 and 48; Jaden
Bruess finished at 105 from rounds
of 51 and 54; Seth Jencks had a final
card of 110 shooting two rounds of
55 each and Travis Reicks ended at
112 after rounds of 60 and 52.
“Just a freshman, Cale has had a
great season and I look forward to
see what the future has in store for
him on the links,” continued Reicks.
“I hope our seniors had as much
fun this year golfing as I have had
coaching them. It was very rewarding to watch Tom, CJ, Seth and Travis mature over the past four years,
both on the course and as individuals. I wish them nothing but the best
in their future endeavors,” Reicks
finished.

13 State Events Will Showcase
Turkey Valley Athletes
Making state is what it’s all
about. You work all season, and offseason, to improve yourself, your
team, your time, your distance, all to
put everything together at one meet,
the State Qualifier.
Last Thursday, Turkey Valley traveled to Edgewood for their
chance to qualify for the 2015
State Track Meet. The Ladies won
the meet as a team for the second straight year scoring 136 total
points, 17 points more than 2nd place.
The Trojans took silver with 90
points, just one point above 3rd but 21
points out of 1st.
Ladies:
As a team, TV had four 1st place
finishes, 13 total top-three placements and double scored in five
events. The Ladies secured the four
1st place finishes for the State Meet
automatically and all four were individual events including Sadie
Nymeyer in the 400m dash, Shelby
Reicks in the 1500m and 3000m and
Delaney Lensing in the discus.
“We had a lot of personal record
breaking performances on a night
that wasn’t real conducive to set
those marks. This really speaks to
the type of athletes we have on our
team,” noted Coach Brian Schmitt.
“We only had 3 events not score on
the night and had several double
scores in the open events. We will be
bringing 9 events to state (the most
in my seven years).”
Additionally, six other events
made the cut after all of the 1A
meets had been completed. Individually, Shelby Reicks, 800m run;
Stephanie Martin, 1500m; Kayla
Schaufenbuel, high jump and Delaney Lensing, shot put will all work
to leave their mark on the books
while the 4x400 (Nymeyer, Blazek,
Martin, S. Reicks) and 4x800, (Nymeyer, Blazek, Kassidy Reicks,
Martin) relays will compete as well
to tally 9 events. Alternates for the
two relays will be Brooke Herold,
Sarah Stahley and Lydia Schuchhardt.
“All I can say is, what a team effort! I am so proud of the girls and
the focus they displayed in the pouring rain,” complimented Schmitt.
“This is the second year in a row we
won the state qualifying meet and
the smile still hasn’t left my face.”
You can see the ladies in action
this week in Des Moines at Drake
Stadium. On Thursday, May 21,
Lensing will compete in the Shot
